Breeding for Potato Cyst Nematode Resistance in Russet Market Class
Developing potato cyst nematode resistance in widely-grown russet market class potato varieties.
Developing potato cyst nematode resistance in widely-grown russet market class potato varieties.
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.
