Dihaploid calli from Solanum tuberosum were selected, which were resistant to the culture filtrate of Phytophthora infestans. Each of the resistant calli was resistant to all four pathotypes of Phytophthora used in these experiments. The resistance was not lost through regeneration and the induction of new callus.
Resistance of potato leaflets to culture filtrates of Phytophthora infestans is correlated with lower growth of the congenial parasite but not with lower sporulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
