Potato Breeding at the Scottish Plant Breeding Station and the Scottish Crop Research Institute: 1920-2008

2009-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Seventy-two potato cultivars have been bred at the Scottish Plant Breeding Station and the Scottish Crop Research Institute since 1920. The original genetic base contained resistance to wart disease and to viruses, but not comprehensive resistance to all strains. Introgression of resistance genes from the wild and cultivated potato species of Latin America started for late blight in 1932, for viruses in 1941 and f...
