Summary

Tests for resistance to the potato-root eelworm have been carried out since 1941 using the South American material of the Commonwealth Potato Collection. The few resistant forms found have already been noted elsewhere (Ellenby, 1948, 1952). For the sake of completeness a list is here given of all the material tested; it comprises about 1,300 forms belonging to over 60 wild and cultivated species.

Samenvatting

Onderzoek over resistentie tegen het aardappel-cystenaaltje is sedert 1941 verricht aan het Zuid-Amerikaanse materiaal van de Commonwealth Potato Collection. De gevonden resistente vormen zijn reeds elders vermeld (Ellenby, 1948, 1952). Terwille van de volledigheid is bovenstaand overzicht van het onderzochte materiaal samengesteld. Het bevat ongeveer 1300 vormen, behorende tot meer dan 60 wilde en in cultuur zijnde soorten.
