Assessment of Potato Variety Resistance to Phytophthora infestans in Greenhouse
Keywords:
late blight, potato disease, Phytophthora infestansAbstract
Late blight disease of potato is caused by Phytophthora infestans, leading to yield losses of potato crop. Potato breeding for disease resistance is very crucial for potato production. The objective of this study was selection resistance potato varieties to P. infestans. Two potato varieties from Chiang Mai Royal Agricultural Research Center, Thailand, sixteen varieties from International Potato Center (CIP), Peru and an Atlantic variety were used for plant disease screening. A suspension at the concentration of 1x104 sporangia mL-1 of four P. infestans isolates as KW3, Phrao3, MA6 and MS8, each one was prepared. The suspension was inoculated to the whole plants at 1-month-old. Plant disease severity was assessed during July–August 2018 at 14, 25, 34, 43 and 52 days after inoculation for 8 weeks period. Scoring of disease severity was converted to percent severity index (PSI) to categorize resistant genotypes and the area under the disease–progress curve (AUDPC) were also calculated for disease resistant estimation. It was found that potato variety CIP 391002.6 showed moderately resistant (MR) to all P. infestans isolates. The resistant variety can be utilized to breeding program as late blight resistant varieties.
