Abstract
AbstractInheritance of bacterial wilt resistance in tetraploid potato was investigated in segregating progenies of parent clones with resistance derived from different specific sources and different types of adaptation. A race 1 and a race 3 isolate of Pseudomonas solanacearum were used to test the resistance under warm temperatures. Results obtained indicated partial dominance of resistance. Significant general and specific combining abilities showed that both additive and non‐additive gene actions are important in conditioning resistance expression. There was evidence that epistasis is an important component of the non‐additive gene action in the inheritance of resistance. Other aspects of the resistance and implications for breeding are discussed.
