“…The single substitution, R3b G3111 , was present in one variety and the double substitution, Rpi‐R3b G1696/G3111 , in 8 varieties including Innovator, Picasso and the late blight differential line 2573 (2). For the differential line 2573 (2), it has been shown previously that Rpi‐R3b function, such as the recognition of the corresponding effector from P. infestans, Avr3b, is maintained (Zhu et al ., ). Similarly, Avr3b is recognised in Picasso and a specific cell death response is observed in Nicotiana benthamiana upon co‐infiltration of Rpi‐R3b G1696/G3111 with Avr3b (Strachan et al., submitted).…”
