Introgression and stabilization of Erwinia tuber soft rot resistance into potato after somatic hybridization of Solanum tuberosum and S. brevidens
2002-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to potato tuber soft rot caused by Erwinia carotovora was transferred from Solanum brevidens to the cultivated potato over the course of four backcross generations originating from a somatic hybrid. Soft rot reactions were determined via a tuber plug inoculation method developed during the course of these experiments. Soft rot resistance was highest in the somatic hybrid (only ca. 20% of tubers and plug...
