Koppel, M (Jogeva Plant Breeding Institute, Jogeva (Estonia)
Numerous diseases infect potato more seriously than other field crops. The cheapest and most reliable way for plant protection is cultivation of disease resistant varieties. The creation of varieties with durable resistance is complicated because of lability and adaptability of pathogen. Good knowledge in resistance genetics of host and pathogen are essential prerequisites for successful breeding programs. The choice of strategy for breeding program is based on available effective resistance genes as well prevailing and arising pathogen races. The current paper gives a brief overview on breeding programs for late blight, cyst nematode and soft rot resistances currently running at Jogeva Plant Breeding Institute
