Assessment of genetic hotspots for Phytophthora resistance and their use as molecular markers
in potato breeding
BLE-Projekt 2810OE071 (LfL), 2810OE121 (JKI), 2810OE122 (IPK)

Aims and objectives
Fotos: JKI Dr. Karen Sieber 2
Field Trial: 150 cultivars and breeding clones have been grown and
examined under organic farming conditions.
Molecular Analyses: Examination of resistance hotspots and evaluation of genetic
markers for resistance breeding
Potato Breeding: We aim at combining late blight resistance with quality traits. For the selection of breeding material we use a participative
approach on organic farms

XI • We applied regions from R1
and R3b as molecular markers.
• Sequences are identical for all investigated cultivars.
• R1 appears in ca. 12% of all trial samples
• R3b appears in ca. 35% of all trial samples
Products: R1, R3a, R3b References: Huang et al. 2005, Rietman 2011, Lokossou et al. 2009; Kim et al. 2012

S. bulbocastanum
Molecular Analyses: Markers for S. bulbocastanum
• Markers Blb3 and Abpt were established for the blb3 region
• Blb1-820 was used for the blb1 region
• 9% of all samples were positive at the blb3 locus
• 1 sample was positive at the blb1 locus.

Perspectives

• S. venturii • S. phureja
IX • Continue breeding efforts and selection of
breeding clones
• Analyse of SNP results
• Find molecular markers for other Solanum species that were used as resistance donors
• Develop markers that allow to distinguish between resistance genes and their inactive homologues
