Abstract excerpt
The potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida poses a major threat to potato production in Western Europe. Current management strategies largely depend on the use of potato varieties carrying the genetic resistance GpaVvrn. However, reports from multiple West-European countries indicate a steady rise in virulence against GpaVvrn-containing potato varieties, raising serious concerns about G. pallida control. Although...
