A Greenhouse Assay for Powdery Scab (Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea) Resistance in Potato
2008-06-01
Abstract excerpt
The plasmodiophorid pathogen Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea causes powdery scab disease of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), which severely affects tuber quality. Adequate chemical control of the disease is lacking, so breeding resistant potato cultivars is important. Little is known about the mechanisms or genetics of host resistance, as the epidemiology of the pathogen makes research on the disease di...
