Development of late blight resistant potato biotech varieties for Sub-Saharan Africa.
Phytophthora infestans remains the most devastating potato pathogen worldwide. In developing countries it causes annual losses of up to 2.75 billion USD, excluding the cost of pesticides. Host plant resistance mediated by single R genes has been rapidly overcome by P. infestans on many occasions. Ho...
