Identification and mapping of QTLs for late blight resistance in the wild tomato (Solanum pimpinellifolium) accession PI 270442 via selective genotyping
Late blight (LB), caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, is one of the most devastating diseases of the cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) worldwide.Attempts to control the disease through fungicide applications are becoming less effective, as new and aggressive genotypes of the pathogen emerge.Further, some new P.infestans genotypes
