Abstract

AbstractPotato glycoalkaloids were determined in tubers of a wide range of genotypes in order to study their influence on resistance to storage rots caused by Fusarium solani var. coeruleum and Phoma exigua var. foveata. No relationships were found. This indicates that breeders selection for low glycoalkaloid potato clones is not in conflict with the demands for high levels of resistance to these pathogens. It was also observed that genotypes susceptible to skin‐breaking types of, damage were more easily infected than genotypes susceptible to other types of damage.
