Abstract

Late blight (LB) is a serious disease that affects potato crop and is caused by Phytophthora infestans. Fungicides are commonly used to manage this disease, but this practice has led to the development of resistant strains and it also poses serious environmental and health risks. Therefore, breeding for resistance development can be the most effective strategies to control late blight. Various Solanum species have been utilized as a source of resistance genes to combat late blight disease. Several potential resistance genes and quantitative resistance loci (QRLs) have been identified and mapped through the application of molecular techniques. Furthermore, molecular markers closely linked to resistance genes or QRLs have been utilized to hasten the breeding process. However, the use of single-gene resistance can lead to the breakdown of resistance within a short period. To address this, breeding programs are now being focused on development of durable and broad-spectrum resistant cultivars by combining multiple resistant genes and QRLs using advanced molecular breeding tools such as marker-assisted selection (MAS) and cis-genic approaches. In addition to the strategies mentioned earlier, somatic hybridization has been utilized for the development and characterization of interspecific somatic hybrids. To further broaden the scope of late blight resistance breeding, approaches such as genomic selection, RNAi silencing, and various genome editing techniques can be employed. This study provides an overview of recent advances in various breeding strategies and their applications in improving the late blight resistance breeding program.
