Somatic hybrids between Solanum bulbocastanum and potato: a new source of resistance to late blight
1998-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Solanum bulbocastanum, a wild, diploid (2n = 2x = 24) Mexican species, is highly resistant to Phytophthora infestans, the fungus that causes late blight of potato. However this 1 EBN species is virtually impossible to cross directly with potato. PEG-mediated fusion of leaf cells of S. bulbocastanum PI 245310 and the tetraploid potato line S. tuberosum PI 203900 (2n = 4x = 48) yielded hexaploid (2n = 6x = 72) somat...
