Molecular Markers for Conventional Potato Breeding
Researching molecular markers that identify different potato genes associated with nematode resistance.
Researching molecular markers that identify different potato genes associated with nematode resistance.
Potato breeders and the nematologists who support them need guidance from the potato industry about what constitutes a winner.
Continuous use of potato varieties with the same source of resistance causes genetic selection for stronger and/or more virulent pale cyst nematode populations.
