Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The durable late blight resistance in potato plant Ma R9 is genetically characterized. A novel R -gene is mapped. The monogenic nature and map positions of R9 are negated and rectified. Late blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum), caused by Phytophthora infestans, can effectively be managed by genetic resistance. The MaR9 differential plant provides durable resistance to a broad spectrum of late blight...
