Resistance inSolanum tuberosum toPseudomonas solanacearum

American Potato Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Numerous domestic and some foreign breeding clones ofSolanum tuberosum were planted on soils naturally infested withPseudomonas solanacearum in eastern North Carolina or were artificially inoculated. Several clones were found to possess a resistance expressed as a delayed appearance of symptoms and a slow development of disease in plants and tubers. All of the resistant clones are medium to late maturing. The resistance was found to be heritable, but the resistance obtained by hybridization of resistant clones of different genetical background was no better than that of the parents.
