Summary
A detailed study of the resistance to Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis populations in eleven selected wild Solanum accessions showed that all the accessions had a high level of resistance to a broad spectrum of G. pallida populations Six of the accessions showed a high level of resistance to G. rostochiensis populations as well. The others were, in comparison with the susceptible cultivar Maritta, partial resistant to G. rostochiensis.
Progenies of crosses between different resistance sources and between resistant clones and a partial resistant S. phureja clone showed to G. pallida (pathotype Pa3) a level of resistance comparable to that of the resistant parent. The resistance of progenies of crosses between resistant (R) and susceptible (S) clones was intermediate between that of the parental clones.
When the distribution of the F1 genotypes over different ‘resistance’ classes was examined, significant differences between the RxS progenies were observed. Five groups with different distributions were distinguished, varying in percentage of resistant plants from 16.1 to 58.9 (s.e. 6.5).
Significant differences in resistant breeding values were found between clones of different accessions as well as between clones from the same accession. Between progenies of reciprocal RxS and SxR crosses no difference was observed.
