Late blight (LB) caused by the oomycete is one of the most important biotic constraints for potato production worldwide. This study assessed 508 accessions (79 wild potato species and 429 landraces from a cultivated core collection) held at the International Potato Center genebank for resistance to LB. One isolate belonging to the EC-1 lineage, which is currently the predominant type of in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, was used in whole plant assays under greenhouse conditions.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yanina Correa"

  • - Yanina Correa's research primarily focuses on the assessment of South American potato landraces and wild relatives for their resistance to late blight, a major threat to potato production globally.
  • - In her 2022 study, she evaluated 508 potato accessions, including 79 wild species and 429 cultivated landraces, sourced from the International Potato Center genebank, targeting resistance against a prevalent late blight isolate.
  • - The findings contribute to the identification of novel resistance sources, crucial for improving potato breeding programs and enhancing crop resilience against late blight in the Andean region.
