| Name (native language): | Entwicklung von Keimplasma mit Phytophthora-Resistenz (Kraut- und Braunfäule) auf breiter genetischer Basis (Solanum-Arten) und züchterischer Anpassung an Langtagbedingungen |
| Coordinating organisation: | Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants – Julius Kühn-Institut |
| Description: | Potato belongs to the crops with the highest chemical plant-protection demands, with their main part directed to Phytophthora infestans, the causative agent of late blight on foliage and tubers. Costs for plant protection and damage caused by late blight amount to 470 ¤ per hectare and year. For this reason, a long-term programme was started to select new sources of blight resistance among wild species and to introduce the genes for durable resistance into the cultural potato genome by six to seven cross steps. |
