Abstract
This chapter considers 27 diseases and 6 pests of potatoes for which increased resistance may be required: late blight (an oomycete), 11 fungal diseases, common scab (an actinomycete), four bacterial diseases, nine viral diseases and one viroid, four insect pests and cyst and root-knot nematodes. The prerequisites for successful breeding are a source of resistance, a reliable screen for resistance using the most appropriate isolate(s) of the pathogen or population(s) of the pest, and an understanding of the inheritance of resistance. The source of resistance may be a modern cultivar, a cultivated landrace or a wild relative, and the resistance may be isolate/population-specific or broad spectrum. Reliable tests are considered for qualitative resistance (no escapes) and quantitative resistance (little environmental variation), on plant parts, seedlings and whole plants in controlled environment facilities and through disease progress curves on plants in field nurseries. Well-known major genes for resistance are listed.
