Potato Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Surveys of Neo-Tuberosum clones have revealed continuous ranges of reaction to bothGlobodera rostochiensis andG. pallida with a few clones being highly resistant. Reactions of clones to the two species show some correlation but correlations between reactions to differentG. pallida populations are closer. Tests on progenies withG. pallida show the resistances to be heritable.
