Characterization of Late Blight Resistance Potato Breeding Lines with the RB Gene from Solanum bulbocastanum
2018-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is an important disease of potato (Solanum tuberosum). Previous work has demonstrated that the wild diploid potato species Solanum bulbocastanum showed resistance to all known genotypes of P. infestans. In this study, the RB gene (also known as Rpi-blb1) from S. bulbocastanum was transformed and expressed into conventionally bred, late blight resistant breeding lines...
