Teagasc and IPM develop PCN-resistant potato variety

Teagasc and IPM develop PCN-resistant potato variety
Teagasc and IPM Potato Group have recently released a new potato variety which is resistant to potato cyst nematode (PCN). PCN is an economically devastating soil pest which can destroy potato crops.
‘Buster’ is a new ware or prepark variety and is resistant to both species of PCN. Its speed of development was greatly assisted by new genomic identification capabilities.
Dan Milbourne spoke at this week’s National Tillage Conference about the work of the Virtual Irish Centre for Crop Improvement (VICCI). He explained that Buster combines PCN-resistant genes from five parents. Combining five genes is challenging and using conventional breeding methods may have taken up to 30 years. However, the variety was achieved using a genomic approach called marker assisted selection (MARS). ....
