Fingerprinting of about 1,700 potato landraces and varieties using 207 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers led us to identify a group of 24 SSR markers which constitute the potato genetic identity kit used for genetic resource characterization. These markers were selected for single locus, highl...

Sweetpotato omics at CIP.
Phytophthora infestans remains the most devastating potato pathogen worldwide. In developing countries it causes annual losses of up to 2.75 billion USD, excluding the cost of pesticides. Host plant resistance mediated by single R genes has been rapidly overcome by P. infestans on many occasions....

Development of late blight resistant potato biotech varieties for Sub-Saharan Africa.
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) is one of the most important food crops in tropical and subtropical countries. In Sub-Saharan Africa, sweetpotato is mainly produced for consumption and as a source of income by resource-poor farmers. However, their production is limited by severe damage caused by pe...

The cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum is affected by a variety of diseases with late blight (LB) caused by Phytophthora infestans being the most severe. The disease is mostly controlled by the application of large quantities of fungicides, which represent a financial burden on farmers indevelo...
