RLP/K enrichment sequencing; a novel method to identify receptor-like protein (RLP) and receptor-like kinase (RLK) genes. [PDF]
Summary The identification of immune receptors in crop plants is time‐consuming but important for disease control. Previously, resistance gene enrichment sequencing (RenSeq) was developed to accelerate mapping of nucleotide‐binding domain and leucine‐rich repeat containing (NLR) genes.

New homologues of the Rpi-chc1 gene in wild and cultivated Solanum species
The Rpi-chc1 gene confers resistance to late blight (LB) in the wild South American species Solanum chacoense. The goal of this study was to enhance our insight into polymorphism of this gene in the genus Solanum, which is the source of valuable donors ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of aluminum (Al) on the zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) concentrations in four potato clones (Macaca and Dakota Rose: both Al-sensitive clones; and SMIC148-A and Solanum ...

The structure and allelic diversity of the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus) in diploid potatoes inferred from genome sequences and transcriptome data from styles and pollen. [PDF]
Abstract Gametophytic self‐incompatibility (GSI) is a reproductive strategy to prevent inbreeding and promote outcrossing. Studies to understand molecular and evolutionary aspects of the self‐compatibility (SC)/self‐incompatibility (SI) system in the Solanaceae have been conducted using several genera including Petunia Juss., Nicotiana L., and Solanum ...

The receptor-like protein RXEG1 confers broad-spectrum resistance in soybean and cotton by recognizing microbial glycoside hydrolase 12 proteins. [PDF]
Summary Plants diseases cause substantial crop yield loss and threaten food security. Enhancing plant genetic resistance is a major strategy to mitigate the impact of plant diseases on agricultural production. The leucine‐rich repeat receptor‐like protein RXEG1 recognizes the glycoside hydrolase 12 (GH12) protein XEG1 secreted by Phytophthora sojae to ...

A survey of the Sli gene in wild and cultivated potato. [PDF]
Abstract Inbred‐hybrid breeding of diploid potatoes necessitates breeding lines that are self‐compatible. One way of incorporating self‐compatibility into incompatible cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) germplasm is to introduce the S‐locus inhibitor gene (Sli), which functions as a dominant inhibitor of gametophytic self‐incompatibility.

A case study of potato germplasm enhancement using distant late blight resistant wild relatives
Abstract Improving potato late blight (LB) resistance is essential for ensuring food security, particularly using wild relatives endemic to Phytophthora infestans‐prone regions. However, reproductive barriers can impede the transfer from potato wild relatives (PWR) to the cultivated genepool.

Potato and its wild relatives belong to Solanum section Petota. In this study, the phylogeny of Petota was confirmed on clade level based on 343 plastid genomes. The species identification rates of universal barcodes, nuclear ribosomal DNA, whole plastid genomes, and hypervariable regions were thoroughly evaluated.

Abstract Late blight remains the most devastating disease in potato cultivation. The best protection against this disease could be achieved by durably resistant cultivars, but these do not exist at present. To advance resistance breeding, the search for resistant wild potato species and the characterization of their resistance is important.

Wild relatives of potato may bolster its adaptation to new niches under future climate scenarios
Climate change is altering the suitability of production areas for crops such as potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) making future productivity, resilience, and sustainability of this crop dependent on breeding for climate adaptation, including through the introgression of novel traits from its wild relatives.
