This project aims to enhance disease resistance in potato and tomato crops against the late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans. By leveraging insights into pathogen biology, the research focuses on developing new breeding techniques to create resilient crop varieties that can withstand this significant agricultura…
Plant diseases represent a significant threat to global food security.
One of the most notorious plant pathogens is the Irish potato famine organism Phytophthora infestans. P. infestans, the causal agent of potato and tomato late blight, continues to cost modern agriculture billions of euros annually.
The most sustainable strategy to manage late blight is to breed broad-spectrum disease resistance into potato and tomato.
However, current disease resistance breeding approaches are slow, inefficie…
