Collaborative project: Potato breeding for investigation and establishment of increased resistance to pectinolytic bacteria - subproject B (KUER)
Project
Project code: 281D123B21
Contract period: 01.08.2023
- 31.07.2026
Budget: 292,400 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: resistance, plant breeding, crop production, plant diseases (virusus, bacteria, fungi, phytoplasma), potato
In "KUER", a systematic phenotyping of diseases caused by pectinolytic bacteria of the species Pectobacterium and Dickeya is to be established. When assessing resistance, individual tissues are not addressed, as is the case when testing with bacteria-soaked filter leaf discs on tuber slices, but rather an attempt is made to simulate the various components of bacterial infections as realistically as possible to the infections in the field and in storage. In addition, wound healing as an important factor of possible resistance to pectinolytic bacteria is intensively included in the investigations. The data obtained through phenotyping and genotyping of an association panel are used for the selection of genotypes for further breeding as well as for the development of specific molecular markers for marker-assisted selection.
