Abstract excerpt
Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most significant pathogens in the production of cultivated potato Solanum tuberosum worldwide. The most efficient way to combat viral diseases is the use of resistant varieties. The Rychc gene was discovered in the tuber-bearing wild potato relative Solanum chacoense. This gene is able to confer extreme resistance to PVY by rapidly halting virus multiplication in plants without...
