Solanumchacoense, etc ; Phytophthora infestans; coevolution; pathogens; Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Phytophthora infestans is a pathogenic oomycete that causes the infamous potato late blight disease. Resistance (R) genes from diverse Solanum species encode intracellular receptors that trigger effective defense responses upon the recognition of cognate RXLR avirulence (Avr) effector proteins. To deploy these R genes in a durable fashion in agriculture, we need to understand the mechanism of effe ...
... Potato is a major staple crop, and necrotrophic bacterial pathogens such as Pectobacterium spp. are a major threat to global food security. Most lines of cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) are susceptible to Pectobacterium spp., but some lines of wild potato are resistant, including Solanum chacoense M6. Despite the discovery of resistance in wild potatoes, specific resistance genes are yet to ...

Abstract:
... Solanum chacoense Bitt. (chc) is a short-day adapted wild diploid (2n = 2x = 24) species, relative of the commercial potato S. tuberosum L. (tbr), that has demonstrated higher below-ground biomass when cultivated under limited nitrogen (N) supply, suggesting it possesses greater potential for N recovery by increasing root length density (RLD). The objectives of this study were to compare screening ...

Abstract:
... Solanum chacoense (wild potato) is intensively used in breeding, its biochemical profile and putative human health-related traits being transferred into potato cultivars aimed for consumption. The goal of this study was to evaluate the biochemical profile and the anti-tumor potential of methanolic extracts obtained from S. chacoense leaves and tubers against three breast cancer cell lines in compa ...

Abstract:
... Wild potatoes (Solanum sp.) are important reservoirs of desirable genes for potato breeding. Most of them are diploid and obligate outcrossers, with both sexual and asexual reproduction. Samples of natural populations are ex situ conserved as accessions in germplasm banks for basic and applied ends, and are regenerated when seed number, seed viability or both decrease. The possible action of withi ...
... Diploid hybrid potato variety development requires the introduction of reliably transmitted self-compatibility (SC) to largely self-incompatible elite diploid germplasm. The diploid Solanum chacoense clone M6 has been widely used to introgress SC into North American potato diploid breeding programs. We determined that M6 is homozygous for six DNA Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP)™ markers spa ...
... KEY MESSAGE: Cytochimera potato plants, which mixed with diploid and tetraploid cells, could cause the highest and significantly increased biomass yield than the polyploid and diploid potato plants. Polyploidization is an important approach in crop breeding for agronomic trait improvement, especially for biomass production. Cytochimera contains two or more mixed cells with different levels of ploi ...

... This study presents the status of ex situ and in situ conservation for the crop wild relatives of rice, potato, sweet potato, and finger millet in Brazil, and the subsequent germplasm collection expeditions. This research is part of a global initiative entitled “Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Collecting, Protecting, and Preparing Crop Wild Relatives” supported by the Global Crop Diversity ...
... Although several genes homologous to those involved in the modulation of reproductive development in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have been identified in the Vitis vinifera genome, the regulatory network associated with pollen development, pollen tube elongation, and fecundation in grapevine is largely unknown. In Arabidopsis, receptor kinases play essential roles in pollen tube growth and ...

Abstract:
... Diploid hybrid potato breeding is emerging as an alternative to breeding tetraploid potato clones. The development of diploid breeding varieties involves recent, shallow pedigrees with a limited number of founders. Within this context, alternative QTL detection methodologies should be considered to enable identification of relevant QTLs and characterize the founders of the pedigree. To that end, w ...
... Genome editing and cis‐gene breeding have rapidly accelerated crop improvement efforts, but their impacts are limited by the number of species capable of being genetically transformed. Many dicot species, including some vital potato relatives being used to accelerate breeding and genetics efforts, remain recalcitrant to standard Agrobacterium tumefaciens‐based transformation. Hairy root transforma ...

Abstract:
... Global climate change, especially when involving drought and salinity, poses a major challenge to sustainable crop production, causing severe yield losses. The environmental conditions are expected to further aggravate crop production in the future as a result of continuous greenhouse gas emissions, causing further temperature rise and leading to increased evapotranspiration, severe drought, soil ...

Abstract:
... Solanum chacoense is a wild relative of potato (Solanum tuberosum) that is of interest because of its many desirable traits, but it exhibits variations in tuber dormancy across accessions. The objective of this study was to determine an appropriate gibberellic acid (GA₃) concentration and soak time treatment to encourage sprout development across four accessions of S. chacoense (A, B, C, and D) fr ...
... KEY MESSAGE: A major QTL on chromosome 2 associated with leptine biosynthesis and Colorado potato beetle resistance was identified in a diploid S. chacoense F₂ population using linkage mapping and bulk-segregant analysis. We examined the genetic features underlying leptine glycoalkaloid mediated Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) host plant resistance in a diploid F₂ mapping popula ...
... A diploid potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) recombinant inbred line population was derived from a cross between Solanum chacoense inbred line M6 and S. chacoense accession USDA8380‐1 (80‐1) to identify loci associated with self‐compatibility and Colorado potato beetle resistance. Individuals from the F₄ and F₅ generations were genotyped on the Illumina Infinium V3 22K Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (S ...

Abstract:
... Most wild and cultivated diploid potato species are self-incompatible, preventing inbreeding and promoting outcrossing. To generate diploid inbred lines, the tuber bearing self-compatible species Solanum chacoense (M6 line) has been used to overcome self-incompatibility. In this study, self-compatibility was introgressed from a set of four diploid self-compatible (SC) donor lines with S. chacoense ...
... Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important food crop worldwide after wheat and rice in terms of human consumption. A critical domestication trait for potato was the decrease of toxic steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) in tuber flesh. Here, we used a diploid F2 segregating population derived from a cross between S. tuberosum and the wild potato species Solanum chacoense to map the quant ...
... The potato Solanum tuberosum L. has the greatest diversity of cultivated and wild relatives, whose genetic nature has been studied insufficiently. The aim of the present study was to examine the resistance to PVY in S. chacoense Bitt. and S. pinnatisectum Dun. and to search for DNA markers linked to resistance genes. For the first time, representative populations of two diploid tuber-bearing Solan ...
... The phytotoxic abilities of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), in a population consisting of wild species, potato diploid hybrids and potato cultivars, against mustard (Sinapis alba L.) were investigated. Measurements of total glycoalkaloid, phenolic and flavonoid concentrations in potato leaf extracts and their role in phytotoxicity were performed. Extracts prepared from wild potato species, particul ...
... The potato/tomato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc) transmits ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (Lso) (also known as ‘Candidatus Liberibacter psyllaurous’), the bacterium associated with zebra chip disease (ZC) in potato. When disease incidence is high, ZC causes large economic losses through reductions in potato yield and tuber quality. No commercial potato variety has been found totally ...
