Nematode Genome Announcement: Draft Genome of , an Economically Important Pest of Potato in the Pacific Northwest.

is one of the most devastating pests of potato in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW).

Evaluation of genetic diversity among Russet potato clones and varieties from breeding programs across the United States.

DNA fingerprinting is a powerful tool for plant diversity studies, cultivar identification, and germplasm conservation and management. In breeding programs, fingerprinting and diversity analysis provide an insight into the extent of genetic variability available in the breeding material, which in turn helps breeders to maintain a pool of highly diverse genotypes by avoiding the selection of closely related parents. Oblong-long tubers with russeting skin characterize Russet potato, a primary potato market class in the United States, and especially in the western production regions.
