POTATOES WITH INCREASED RESISTANCE TO ROT

摘要

The invention relates to the breeding and selection of potatoes. The invention provides a potato plant or part derived thereof having at least one amf-allele said potato plant or part further provided with an increased resistance to rot as characterized by an increased resistance to soft rot caused by Erwinia spp. Furthermore, the invention provides a method for breeding and selecting a potato with an increased resistance to rot comprising crossing a first parent potato with at least one amf-allele with a second parent potato without an amf-allele, and selecting progeny for the presence of at least one amf-allele with an increased resistance to soft rot.
