Background The characterization of major resistance genes (R genes) in the potato remains
an important task for molecular breeding. However, R genes are rapidly evolving and
frequently occur in genomes as clusters with complex structures, and their precise mapping
and identification are complicated and time consuming. Results Comparative analysis of
root transcriptomes of Solanum phureja genotypes with contrasting resistance to Globodera
rostochiensis revealed a number of differentially expressed genes. However, compiling a list …
