Abstract

Clones of potato hybrids bred from up to seven wild Solanum species were studied with phytopathological methods and DNA markers for late blight resistance genes R1, R3a, and RB. Late blight resistance of these clones was significantly related to the number of DNA markers discerned in particular inter-specific hybrids.
