Integrated gene-free potato genome editing using transient transcription activator-like effector nucleases and regeneration-promoting gene expression by infection.

Genome editing is highly useful for crop improvement. The method of expressing genome-editing enzymes using a transient expression system in , called agrobacterial mutagenesis, is a shortcut used in genome-editing technology to improve elite varieties of vegetatively propagated crops, including potato. However, with this method, edited individuals cannot be selected.

genome assembly of the partial homozygous dihaploid potato identified PVY resistance gene () derived from .

The isolation of disease resistance genes introduced from wild or related cultivated species is essential for understanding their mechanisms, spectrum and risk of breakdown. To identify target genes not included in reference genomes, genomic sequences with the target locus must be reconstructed. However, assembly approaches of the entire genome, such as those used for constructing reference genomes, are complicated in higher plants.

Discovery of a novel mitochondrial DNA molecule associated with tetrad pollen sterility in potato.

Background: Tetrad sterility in potato is caused by a specific cytoplasm, called TSC, derived from the Mexican wild tetraploid species Solanum stoloniferum. Different S. stoloniferum accessions crossed as females with S.

Improvement of diagnostic markers for resistance to and application for selection of resistant germplasms in potato breeding.

Occurrence of pale potato cyst nematode, (Stone) Behrens, was first recorded in Japan in 2015. Among several control measures, cultivation of resistant potato ( L.) varieties is the most effective in cost and environmental impact.

Polyploid QTL-seq towards rapid development of tightly linked DNA markers for potato and sweetpotato breeding through whole-genome resequencing.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.), which are nutritionally and commercially important tuberous crops, possess a perplexing heredity because of their autopolyploid genomes.

Quantification of Phytophthora infestans population densities and their changes in potato field soil using real-time PCR.

Tuber infection of Phytophthora infestans often occurs at harvest. However, it is difficult to accurately estimate the population densities of P. infestans in soil, especially Japanese soil.

A new biotype of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 2 emerged by a transposon-driven mutation of avirulence gene AVR1.

Emergence of races in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) is caused by loss or mutation of at least one avirulence (AVR) gene.
