Harnessing natural genetic variation is an established alternative to artificial genetic
variation for investigating the molecular dialog between partners in plant pathosystems …

Potato is one of the most important food crops in the world. Late blight, viruses, soil and
tuber-borne diseases, insect-pests mainly aphids, whiteflies, and potato tuber moths are the …

Linear mixed models (LMMs) are a commonly used method for genome-wide association
studies (GWAS) that aim to detect associations between genetic markers and phenotypic …

Key message De novo genotyping in potato using methylation-sensitive GBS discovers
SNPs largely confined to genic or gene-associated regions and displays enhanced …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is often considered a water-sensitive crop and its production
can be threatened by drought events, making water stress tolerance a trait of increasing …

The integration of molecular markers in the realm of potato genetics has opened new
avenues for accelerating genotype analysis and developing improved varieties. Many …

We genotyped a population of 618 diploid potato clones derived from six independent
potato-breeding programmes from NW-Europe. The diploids were phenotyped for 23 traits …

The goal of this research was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for potato tuber
resistance to the soil‐and seedborne bacterium Dickeya solani and for tuber starch content …

Common scab of potato caused by pathogenic Streptomyces species poses an economic
burden to commercial potato cultivation. Despite decades of research, no molecular markers …

Developing plant germplasm that contains genetic resistance to insect pests is a valuable
component of integrated pest management programs. In the last several decades, numerous …
