Abstract
Multiple mechanisms seem to be involved in resistance of potatoes against Phytophthora. Isolation of protoplasts from host tissue may give information at two levels: (1) Protoplast yields may reflect the susceptibility of the host to cell wall degrading enzymes, (2) Interaction of protoplasts with the pathogen may reveal specific recognition sites at the plasmamembrane or differences between protoplast and intact tissue behaviour. Potato cultivars and wild species with low and high field resistance or with specific R-gene resistance were used for the tests.
