Applied Biotechnology to Combat Late Blight in Potato Caused by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phytophthora Infestans</Emphasis> 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Potato is an important crop, grown worldwide. It suffers from many pests and diseases among which late blight, caused by the
oomycete Phytophthora infestans, is the worst. The disease is still causing major damage in many potato production areas and control is only possible by
applying fungicides frequently. The knowledge on the molecular biology and genetics of the interaction between the plant and
the oomycete is developing rapidly. These are relevant fields of study, currently dominated by the discovery of many resistance
genes and numerous effector proteins and the analysis of their specific mode of action. These studies may yield essential
information needed for the development of durable resistance. The long-term and worldwide effort to breed for resistance so
far has had little effect. A novel breeding approach may change this. It is based on cisgenic modification (CM) consisting
of marker-free pyramiding of several resistance genes and their spatial and temporal deployment yielding dynamic varieties
that contain potato genes only. It is envisioned that this CM approach with potato’s own genes will not only prove societally
acceptable but may also result in simplifications in the legislation on use of the CM approach. Various parties in the potato
research arena intend to cooperate in this novel approach in a number of developing countries where potato substantially contributes
to food security. The use of resources such as land, water and energy improves when the effect of late blight is markedly
reduced. 相似文献

Summary Increased virulence associated with fungicide resistance and variablePhytophthora infestans populations has been recorded in many potato growing regions with enormous economic effects. The current emphasis on disease
management in East Africa includes the use of potato varieties with durable resistance to late blight. Seven promising clones
from Population B with quantitative resistance (no R-genes), two advanced clones from Population A (with Rgenes) and three
control varieties were grown for three cropping seasons in order to determine their reaction and stability of late blight
resistance. Late blight occurrence was detected in all cropping seasons. The analysis of variance of disease data (AUDPC)
for genotypes, locations x seasons was highly significant (P<0.001) indicating the differential response of the geno-types
and the need for stability analysis. The Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) statistical model, showed
that the most stable genotypes were 392127.256, 381471.18, 387121.4 (resistant) and 391049.255 (susceptible to late blight).
Within environments, the ranking of genotypes was not consistent. The variety Kabale was ranked as the most susceptible genotype
while clone 381471.18 and Rutuku were ranked the most resistant. Selective deployment of resistant and stable varieties is
critical in minimizing economic loss and damage attributed to late blight in low input farming systems. 相似文献

Societal Costs of Late Blight in Potato and Prospects of Durable Resistance Through Cisgenic Modification 总被引:6,自引:4,他引:2
A. J. Haverkort P. M. Boonekamp R. Hutten E. Jacobsen L. A. P. Lotz G. J. T. Kessel R. G. F. Visser E. A. G. van der Vossen 《Potato Research》2008,51(1):47-57
In the European Union almost 6 Mha of potatoes are grown representing a value of close to €6,000,000,000. Late blight caused
by Phytophthora infestans causes annual losses (costs of control and damage) estimated at more than €1,000,000,000. Chemical control is under pressure
as late blight becomes increasingly aggressive and there is societal resistance against the use of environmentally unfriendly
chemicals. Breeding programmes have not been able to markedly increase the level of resistance of current potato varieties.
New scientific approaches may yield genetically modified marker-free potato varieties (either trans- and/or cisgenic, the
latter signifying the use of indigenous resistance genes) as improved variants of currently used varieties showing far greater
levels of resistance. There are strong scientific investments needed to develop such improved varieties but these varieties
will have great economic and environmental impact. Here we present an approach, based on (cisgenic) resistance genes that
will enhance the impact. It consists of five themes: the detection of R-genes in the wild potato gene pool and their function related to the various aspects in the infection route and reproduction
of the late blight causing pathogen; cloning of natural R-genes and transforming cassettes of single or multiple (cisgenic) R-genes into existing varieties with proven adaptation to improve their value for consumers; selection of true to the wild
type and resistant genotypes with similar qualities as the original variety; spatial and temporal resistance management research
of late blight of the cisgenic genetically modified (GM) varieties that contain different cassettes of R-genes to avoid breaking of resistance and reduce build-up of epidemics; communication and interaction with all relevant stakeholders
in society and transparency in what research is doing. One of the main challenges is to explain the different nature and possible
biological improvement and legislative repercussions of cisgenic GM-crops in comparison with transgenic GM-crops. It is important
to realize that the present EU Directive 2001/18/EC on GM crops does not make a difference between trans- and cisgenes. These
rules were developed when only transgenic GM plants were around. We present a case arguing for an updating and refinement
of these rules in order to place cisgenic GM-crops in another class of GM-plants as has been done in the past with (induced)
mutation breeding and the use of protoplast fusion between crossable species. 相似文献

Cultivated potato is susceptible to many pests and pathogens, none of which is more of a threat to potato agriculture than
the late blight disease, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary. To date all efforts to thwart this most adaptive of pathogens have failed, and early attempts to deploy
‘R genes’ introgressed from the wild Mexican hexaploid Solanum demissum ended in abject failure. With the advent of facile gene mapping and cloning, allied to knowledge of plant resistance gene
structure, renewed efforts are leading to mapping and isolation of new sources of late blight resistance in potato wild species,
many of which are being performed under the auspices of the BIOEXPLOIT project (Sub-project 2). We document recent advances
in late blight resistance gene mapping and isolation, and postulate how these genes, allied to knowledge of pathogen effectors
and their recognition specificity, may greatly enhance our chances of halting the progress of late blight disease in potato
crops worldwide. 相似文献

Sub-project 5 of BIOEXPLOIT aims to design durable disease resistance through marker-assisted breeding by converting existing
markers for high-throughput application, developing and validating high-throughput marker technologies and pyramiding major
R genes and/or quantitative trait loci into elite material. Activities include (1) the fine mapping of the quantitative trait
locus PiXspg which accounts for a large proportion of the variation in late blight resistance, (2) converting SNP-based markers and an
AFLP marker to easy-to-use-markers, (3) testing of progenies with combined sources of late blight resistance for presence
of R genes and agronomic features, (4) backcrossing new sources of resistance to S. tuberosum and molecular screening of breeding materials with marker GP94 linked with gene Rpi-phu1 conferring late blight resistance, (5) evaluating potato clones with enhanced resistance against Phytophthora infestans under field conditions of Toluca (México), and (6) developing populations and marker-assisted breeding for disease resistance. 相似文献

In an experimental breeding scheme to improve late blight (Phytophthora infestans) and white potato cyst nematode (Globodera pallida) resistance of tetraploid potato over three generations of crossing and selection, 15 clones survived the final selection,
and these were derived from 15 great-grandparents. There was no direct selection for resistance to Potato virus Y (PVY), but 14 out of the 15 great-grandparents were resistant to PVY and three had extreme resistance. Thirteen of the 15
descendants had PVY resistance and one extreme resistance. This was within the range expected for a random (unselected) sample
from the genotypes of the great-grandparents. Hence, we found no evidence for any positive or negative association between
PVY resistance and the attributes selected. The conclusion is that laborious selection is not required in every generation
when many parents have PVY resistance, including some with more than one copy of a PVY resistance gene or resistance at more
than one locus. However, in the future, determining the major virus resistance genes present in potential parents in each
generation using diagnostic molecular markers would prevent susceptible × susceptible crosses being made and maximise the
number of resistant × resistant ones. 相似文献

Debate on the Exploitation of Natural Plant Diversity to Create Late Blight Resistance in Potato 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
This paper reports on a debate on intriguing propositions relating to the scientific, agronomic, societal and economic impact
of the BIOEXPLOIT project, focusing on late blight resistance in potato. It discusses (i) whether identifying pathogen effectors
will facilitate selecting durable R genes, (ii) whether breeding for durable late blight resistance requires deploying Rpi (for Resistance to P
hytophthora
i
nfestans) genes, (iii) whether breeding strategies and cultural practices determine the durability of new resistance genes, (iv) whether
marker-assisted breeding for Phytophthora infestans resistance is already in the stage of adoption, (v) to what extent genetically-modified organism technology can advance realizing
late-blight resistant potato cultivars, and (vi) whether modifying R genes will result in novel broad spectrum resistance. 相似文献

For organic potato producers the two main challenges are disease and nutrient management. Both factors are limited by regulations that on the one hand prohibit the use of chemical fertilisers, especially nitrogen and, on the other hand, most synthetic pesticides. Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans is commonly thought to be the factor most limiting yield. However, because there is no really effective fungicide available to control late blight, there are virtually no yield loss data available for organic farming conditions. In this paper the state of the art of organic potato management with respect to disease and nutrient management is summarised. In a second part, the interactive effects of N-availability in the soil, climatic conditions and late blight were studied in the presence and absence of copper fungicides from 2002–2004 for the mid-early main-crop potato cv. Nicola. From the experimental work it became clear that copper fungicides in most cases do slow down epidemics adding an average of 3 days to the growth duration. However, only 30% of the variation in yield could be attributed to disease reduction. A model including disease reduction, growth duration and temperature sum from planting until 60% disease severity was reached, and soil mineral N contents at 10 days after emergence could explain 75% of the observed variation in yield. However, the model failed when N-supply was extremely high. The implications of the results on the management of organic potatoes with respect to cultivar choice, nutrient and disease management are discussed. In conclusion, several points emerge from the results: In organic farming, yields are foremost limited by nutrient availability in spring and early summer. The effects of late blight on yields may often be overestimated and cannot be deducted from results in conventional farming because of the strong interaction with nutrient status. Resistance clearly remains the most important strategy against late blight in organic potato production. However, as important or even more important than resistance is the early development and bulking behaviour and the ability of a cultivar to make use of organic nutrients efficiently. In the absence of efficient organic pesticides it is possible to reduce blight pressure to a certain extent by arranging the crop in small narrow fields perpendicular to the main wind direction neighboured either by non-hosts or completely resistant potatoes. 相似文献

Summary Potato cultivars of different maturity classes and levels of resistance toPhytophthora infestans were grown under several disease intensities in three field trials. Seasonal courses of ground cover by green foliage and
final tuber yields were determined. Light use efficiencies (LUE) were calculated from regression analyses of yield on cumulative
light interception.
Late blight reduced tuber yields by decreasing cumulative light interception without affecting LUE. No differences in LUE
between cultivars or cultivar classes were detected. Therefore, the maintenance of green leaf area is important when breeding
potatoes for optimal performance in the presence of late blight.
The results support the hypothesis that the correlation between lateness and reported resistance of potato cultivars is due
to the vigorous foliage growth of late cultivars. 相似文献

In order to optimize potato crop management in organic farming systems, knowledge of crop growth processes in relation to
limitations and reductions by nitrogen (N) and disease is necessary. This paper examines the effect of different prevention
measures (seed tuber pre-sprouting, choice of cultivars: resistance to Phytophthora infestans; earliness of tuber initiation) against disease-related constraints on yields, depending on the N-mediated growing conditions
of organic potato crops. Under conditions of a relatively high N supply, accelerating the early development and tuber initiation
of potato crops by seed tuber pre-sprouting (yield increase of c. 18–23%) or the selective choice of cultivars with an earlier
tuber initiation (yield increase of c. 0–21%) are the most effective strategies in combating late blight. They bring forward
the crop development c. 7–10 days, escaping the negative impact of the fungus on tuber growth. Under conditions of a relatively
low N supply, these strategies do not affect final tuber yield. The reason for the differences of the effect depending on
N supply of the crops is, that the lower the N supply, the shorter the period of time over which tuber growth takes place,
independent of whether P. infestans becomes severe or not. Tuber growth of organic crops low in N has mostly ceased by the time late blight becomes potentially
important for limiting yield, with the consequence that preventative measures against P. infestans are meaningless. Surprisingly, the level of cultivar haulm resistance to late blight did not affect tuber yields in years
with an early and strong late blight development. Probably, the positive effect of a longer resistance to the fungus (c. 1 week)
was counterbalanced by a later tuber initiation (also c. 1 week). In years with a moderate late blight incidence, less susceptible
cultivars were able to produce higher tuber yields on fields with a lower N availability (c. 17–20%), probably due to higher
N use efficiency and a better match of N mineralization and N uptake. Under conditions of a relatively high N supply, the
tested cultivars with a higher haulm resistance to late blight were not able to improve tuber yields. 相似文献

Summary Cells of seven potato cultivars were selectedin vitro with culture filtrate (CF) ofPhytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary. Regenerated plants were tested for late blight resistance. The aim of the study was to check the efficacy
of CF in the selection of potatoes for resistance to late blight and to evaluate the effects of additive factors on general
resistance. One selection cycle, applied to a cell culture system, selected cells resistant to toxic metabolites of CF.In vivo screening of clones regenerated from selected cells was done in two steps: on whole plants, assessing foliage late blight,
and on detached leaves, assessing single factors of horizontal resistance.
In general, the frequency of resistant variants selected with CF did not differ from that of resistant somaclonal variants.
Nevertheless, high concentrations of CF in the growth medium seemed to induce an improvement of some partial resistance factors
as compared with the source plants. 相似文献

Modern potato breeding requires over 100,000 seedlings per new variety. Main reasons are (1) the increasing number of traits
that have to be combined in this tetraploid vegetatively propagated crop, and (2) an increasing number of traits (e.g., resistance
to biotic stress) originates from wild species. Pre-breeding by introgression or induced translocation is an expensive way
of transferring single traits (such as R-genes, coding for resistance to biotic stress) to the cultivated plant. The most important obstacle is simultaneous transfer
of undesired neighbouring alien alleles as linkage drag. Stacking several genes from different wild sources is increasing
this linkage drag problem tremendously. Biotechnology has enabled transformation of alien genes into the plant. Initially,
transgenes were originating mainly from microorganisms, viruses or non-crossable plant species, or they were chimeric. Moreover,
selection markers coding for antibiotic resistance or herbicide resistance were needed. Transgenes are a new gene source for
plant breeding and, therefore, additional regulations like the EU Directive 2001/18/EC were developed. Because of a strong
opposition against genetic modification of plants in Europe, the application of this Directive is strict, very expensive,
hampering the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops and the use of this technology by small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs). Currently, GM crops are almost the exclusive domain of multinationals. Meanwhile, not only transgenes but also natural
genes from the plant species itself or from crossable plant species, called cisgenes, are available and the alien selection
genes can be avoided in the end product. This opens the way for cisgenic crops without alien genes. The existing EU directive
for GM organisms is not designed for this new development. The cisgenes belong to the existing breeders’ gene pool. The use
of this classical gene pool has been regulated already in agreements regarding breeders’ rights. We are proposing a step by
step approach starting with a crop and gene specific derogation and monitoring towards a general exemption of cisgenic plants
from the Directive. Two examples, i.e. development of cisgenic potato for resistance to Phytophthora infestans and cisgenic apple for resistance to Venturia inaequalis are discussed shortly for illustration of the importance of cisgenesis as a new tool for traditional plant breeding. Cisgenesis
is simplifying introgression and induced translocation breeding tremendously and is highly recommended for SMEs and developing
countries. 相似文献

For organic potato producers, the two main challenges are disease and nutrient management. Both are limited by regulations
that on the one hand prohibit the use of chemical fertilizers, especially nitrogen, and on the other hand prohibit most synthetic
pesticides. Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans is commonly thought to be the most yield-reducing factor. However, because there is no really effective fungicide available
to control late blight, there are virtually no yield loss data available for organic farming conditions. In this paper, the
state of the art of organic potato tuber growth under on-farm conditions with respect to disease and nutrient management is
summarized by field trials and on-farm surveys on commercial organic crops carried out in the years 1995–1998. Soil nitrogen
(N) levels, plant N uptake, disease development of P. infestans and potato yield were measured. Results indicated that N availability was most important in limiting yields in organic potato
crops. From on-farm data, a model including disease development, growth duration of the crops until foliage decay and different
parameters related to N status of the crop could explain 73% of the observed variation in yield. Only 25% of this variation
in yield could be attributed to the influence of late blight. Differences in N availability explained 48%. In conclusion,
several points emerged from the results. In organic farming, yields are mainly limited by nutrient availability in spring
and early summer. The effects of late blight on yields may often be overestimated and cannot be deduced from results in conventional
farming because of the strong interaction with nutrient status. Depending on N availability, tubers stop growing between mid-July
(70–90 kg N ha−1 uptake), the end of July (110–140 kg N ha−1 uptake) and mid-August (140–180 kg N ha−1 uptake) due to N limitations. The higher the N status of a potato crop, the longer the growing period needed to achieve the
attainable yield and the higher the probability that late blight stops further tuber growth and becomes the key tuber-yield-limiting
factor. In the second part of this paper, the interactive effects of soil N availability and the impact of P. infestans on yield in the presence and absence of fungicides from 1996 to 1998 for mid-early main crops are reported. An empirical
schematic model of disease impact depending on N availability was developed. 相似文献

Summary Tests for systemic induced resistance (SIR) to late blight were performed with different potato cultivars in field trials
and in growth chamber experiments.
The non-pathogenPhytophthora cryptogea (Pc) and salicylic acid (Sa) were used as inducer agents. In the field, plants were naturally infected byPhytophthora infestans while the indoor plants were inoculated. The degree of SIR obtained varied with the cultivar used and also with the type
of inducer. For example in the field the susceptible cv. St. Cecilia had enhanced resistance with Pc whereas Sa caused increased
susceptibility. Inbred resistant cvs acquired increased resistance after treatment with Sa.
In a separate pilot experiment in a growth chamber, Sa at two different concentrations was injected into potato seed tubers
before planting. The higher Sa concentration increased resistance in genetically resistant cultivars while the lower Sa concentration
brought about increased susceptibility. 相似文献

Summary Phenylamide-based fungicides were reintroduced to the Irish market in 1985. Mixtures of phenylamides and mancozeb were recommended
for no more than 3 sprays in potato late blight control programmes with the last systemic spray to be applied not later than
31 July. Samples of potato foliage infected withP. infestans were collected from the main potato growing areas in Ireland over a five-year period starting in 1985. Using the floating
disc method, 11% of the crops sampled in 1985 were found to have phenylamide-resistant strains ofP. infestans present. The number of crops with resistant strains increased rapidly up to 1988 when 83% of the crops sampled had resistance.
Factors affecting the distribution of resistance and the efficacy of a phenylamide-based spray programme are discussed. 相似文献

Potato varieties of Europe, widely grown prior to the late blight epidemic of the 1840s, were apparently derived mainly from ChileanSolanum tuberosum Group (Gp) Tuberosum and with contributions from Gp Andigena. A small number of these old varieties had field resistance and consequently survived the late blight. These survivors, along with a limited number of 19th and early 20th century introductions, provided the very narrow genetic base for our modern potato variety development. Beginning in the first half of the 20th century, resistance to diseases and pests from exotic species and primitive relatives was backcrossed into the existing parental stocks, with little improvement in broadening of the genebase. By the 1980s, 77% of European and somewhat fewer North American varieties had genes, derived by backcrossing, fromS. demissum (late blight resistance) and Andigena (resistance to cyst nematode). Broadening of the Tuberosum genebase was undertaken in 1959 by creating long-day adapted Neo-Tuberosum (N-T) from large populations of Andigena. This took six or more cycles of recurrent mass selection. Simmonds, in England, was the first to begin this work, followed shortly after by Plaisted, in the U.S., and Tarn, in Canada. Varieties with N-T in their pedigrees include the New York releases “Rosa”, which is 50% N-T, and “Eva”, 25% N-T. The Tuberosum genebase has also been broadened with diploid Gp Phureja resulting in the releases of “Yukon Gold,”with yellow flesh and high internal quality, and “NorValley,”a chipper with resistance to cold sweetening. Over 5000 accessions of about 150 wild species are available to breeders from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Research Support Project 6 (NRSP-6) genebank. Many of these accessions have been evaluated for resistance to diseases and pests as well as other important traits. Six genebanks in other countries also have many accessions for breeders. These seven collections are a great source of valuable traits for breeding, but remain under-utilized, mainly because of the time and additional resources required in eliminating the “wildness”characters associated with the desired traits. “Pre-breeding”is needed to help breeders utilize the many needed genes and alleles in the wild species. There now are two projects with pre-breeding as an objective in the U.S., one at Madison, WI, and the other at Prosser, WA. Resistance to cold sweetening (low sugar build up in cold storage) has been backcrossed from several wild species into the Tuberosum background, as has resistance to late blight, the Columbia rootknot nematode, and the potato leafroll virus (PLRV). Resistance to potato virus Y (PVY) and PLRV obtained from N-T has been incorporated into Tuberosum parental stocks. Durable resistance to late blight in Polish breeding stocks, withS. demissum andS. stoloniferum background, and in improved Bolivian and Peruvian Andigena has also been utilized by North American programs. 相似文献

Late blight is an important disease of potato(Solanum tuberosum L.) worldwide, and therefore, many potato-breeding programs have prioritized the development of late blight-resistant potato cultivars. Although the emphasis has been to enhance foliar resistance, it is also necessary to evaluate tuber late blight resistance in new breeding lines and new sources of late blight resistance. We report here on 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. Two MSU breeding lines had significantly less infected foliage than the susceptible check cultivars. Tuber susceptibility was significantly different (P < 0.05) only between the most susceptible and the least susceptible breeding lines/cultivars. Foliar and tuber susceptibility to potato late blight were not correlated as low tuber susceptibility was associated both with extremely low (e.g., MSG274-3) and high (e.g., MSE202-3Rus) foliar susceptibility. 相似文献
