TL;DR: The high degree of concordance between the linkage maps and the pseudomolecules demonstrates both the quality of the potato genome sequence and the functionality of the Infinium 8303 Potato Array.

TL;DR: Although improvement and diversification for distinct market classes was observed through whole-genome analysis of historic and current potato lines, an increased rate of gain from selection will be required to meet growing global food demands and challenges due to climate change.

TL;DR: The study demonstrates that ABL with reduced susceptibility to late blight can be managed with reduced fungicide rates and longer application intervals, thus offering more economical control of this disease.

TL;DR: The assessment of foliar and tuber resistance and the correlation between these aspects of resistance in a sample of Michigan State University potato breeding lines are reported on.

TL;DR: Greenhouse assays were carried out to characterizeSolanum accessions previously reported to be late blight resistant and to identify individuals within the accessions with high levels of resistance to late blight, and 56 genotypes were identified as having potential for use in potato breeding programs for resistance toLate blight.
