Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is the world's third-largest food crop. It severely suffers from
late blight, a devastating disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. This oomycete
pathogen secretes host-translocated RXLR effectors that include avirulence (AVR) proteins …

Qualitative and quantitative late blight resistance in the potato cultivar Sarpo Mira is determined by the perception of five distinct RXLR effectors

…, S Kamoun, VGAA Vleeshouwers - Molecular Plant …, 2012 - Am Phytopath Society
Potato defends against Phytophthora infestans infection by resistance (R)-gene-based
qualitative resistance as well as a quantitative field resistance. R genes are renowned to be
rapidly overcome by this oomycete, and potato cultivars with a decent and durable …

[HTML][HTML] Two different R gene loci co-evolved with Avr2 of Phytophthora infestans and confer distinct resistance specificities in potato

…, RGF Visser, PJ Wolters, V Vleeshouwers - Studies in mycology, 2018 - Elsevier
Late blight, caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans, is the most
devastating disease in potato. For sustainable management of this economically important
disease, resistance breeding relies on the availability of resistance (R) genes. Such R genes …

Problematic crops: 1. potatoes: towards sustainable potato late blight resistance by cisgenic R gene pyramiding

The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a tetraploid, cross‐pollinated, tuber‐bearing
crop, which is mainly propagated in a vegeta tive way through seed tubers. True seed
propagation is highly inefficient due to the heterogeneous haulm and tuber characteris tics …

The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food crop, but highly
susceptible to many pathogens. The major threat to potato production is the Irish famine
pathogen Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease. Potato …

Effectors as tools in disease resistance breeding against biotrophic, hemibiotrophic, and necrotrophic plant pathogens

VGAA Vleeshouwers, RP Oliver - Molecular plant-microbe …, 2014 - Am Phytopath Society
One of most important challenges in plant breeding is improving resistance to the plethora of
pathogens that threaten our crops. The ever-growing world population, changing pathogen
populations, and fungicide resistance issues have increased the urgency of this task. In …

Elicitin recognition confers enhanced resistance to Phytophthora infestans in potato

…, RGF Visser, S Kamoun, VGAA Vleeshouwers - Nature plants, 2015 - nature.com
Potato late blight, caused by the destructive Irish famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, is
a major threat to global food security 1, 2. All late blight resistance genes identified to date
belong to the coiled-coil, nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat class of intracellular …

An updated conventional-and a novel GM potato late blight R gene differential set for virulence monitoring of Phytophthora infestans

…, M Nijenhuis, L Kodde, GJT Kessel, V Vleeshouwers… - Euphytica, 2015 - Springer
Late blight is an important disease in potato that is caused by the oomycete Phytophthora
infestans. In the past, Solanum demissum late blight resistance (R) genes were introgressed
into cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum). Eleven of these resistant plants were selected to …
