Abstract

In total, 154 accessions of wild potato species from VIR’s potato collection were screened at IHAR-PIB Młochów Research Center (Poland) for resistance to Phytophthora infestans and, a part of them, for resistance to Potato Virus X (PVX) and Potato Virus Y (PVY). High levels of leaf resistance to P. infestans were found in the accessions of Central American species S. antipovichii Buk., S. cardiophyllum Lindl., S. demissum Lindl., S. guerreroense Corr., S. neoantipovichii Buk., S. papita Rydb., S. pinnatisectum Dun., S. polytrichon Rydb., S. stoloniferum Schlechtd., and S. verrucosum Schlechtd., as well as South-American species S. berthaultii Haw., S. microdontum Bitt., S. ruiz-ceballosii Card., S. simplicifolium Bitt., and S. vernei Bitt. et Wittm. Tuber resistance was found in the accessions of Central American species S. cardiophyllum, S. neoantipovichii, S. papita, S. polytrichon, S. pinnatisectum, and S. trifidum Corr., and of South-American species S. acaule Bitt., S. berthaultii Hawk., S. kurtzianum Bitt. et Wittm. and S. ruiz-ceballosii Card. The majority of the accessions were characterized by within population variation of leaf and tuber resistance to late blight under laboratory testing conditions. A few accessions of S. demissum, S. guerreroense Corr., S. neoantipovichii and S. stoloniferum expressed combined resistance to late blight, PVX and two or three strains of PVY.

Resumen

Se probaron en total 154 introducciones de especies silvestres de papa de la colección VIR en el Centro de Investigación Młochów IHAR-PIB (Polonia) para resistencia a Phytophthora infestans y una parte de ellas para resistencia al Virus X de la Papa (PVX) y Virus Y de la Papa (PVY). Se encontraron altos niveles de resistencia foliar a P. infestans en introducciones de las especies Centroamericanas S. antipovichii Buk., S. cardiophyllum Lindl., S. demissum Lindl., S. guerreroense Corr., S. neoantipovichii Buk., S. papita Rydb., S. pinnatisectum Dun., S. polytrichon Rydb., S. stoloniferum Schlechtd., y S. verrucosum Schlechtd, así como en las especies Sudamericanas S. berthaultii Haw., S. microdontum Bitt., S. ruiz-ceballosii Card., S. simplicifolium Bitt., y S. vernei Bitt. et Wittm. Se encontró resistencia en tubérculo en las introducciones de las especies Centroamericanas S. cardiophyllum, S. neoantipovichii, S. papita, S. polytrichon, S. pinnatisectum, y S. trifidum Corr, y de las Sudamericanas S. acaule Bitt., S. berthaultii Hawk., S. kurtzianum Bitt. et Wittm. y S. ruiz-ceballosii Card. La mayoría de las introducciones se caracterizaron por variación interna de la población en resistencia foliar y de tubérculo al tizón tardío bajo condiciones de prueba de laboratorio. Algunas introducciones de S. demissum, S. guerreroense Corr., S. neoantipovichii y S. stoloniferum expresaron resistencia combinada al tizón tardío, PVX y a dos o tres variantes de PVY.
