Abstract
Drought is one of the main climate threats limiting crop production. Potato is one of the four most important food crop species worldwide and is sensitive to water shortage. The CBP80 gene was shown to affect Arabidopsis and potato responses to drought by regulating the level of microRNA159 and, consequently, the levels of the MYB33 and MYB101 transcription factors (TFs). Here, we show that three MYB TFs, MYB33, MYB65, and MYB101, are involved in plant responses to water shortage. Their downregulation in Arabidopsis causes stomatal hyposensitivity to abscisic acid (ABA), leading to reduced tolerance to drought. Transgenic Arabidopsis and potato plants overexpressing these genes, with a mutated recognition site in miR159, show hypersensitivity to ABA and relatively high tolerance to drought conditions. Thus, the MYB33, MYB65, and MYB101 genes may be potential targets for innovative breeding to obtain crops with relatively high tolerance to drought.

Abstract
Tuber-omics in potato with the T- and D-types of cytoplasm showed different sets of differentially expressed genes and proteins in response to cold storage. For the first time, we report differences in gene and protein expression in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers possessing the T- or D-type cytoplasm. Two F1 diploid reciprocal populations, referred to as T and D, were used. The pooling strategy was applied for detection of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in tubers consisting of extreme chip colour after cold storage. RNA and protein bulks were constructed from contrasting phenotypes. We recognized 48 and 15 DEGs for the T and D progenies, respectively. DEPs were identified in the amyloplast and mitochondrial fractions. In the T-type cytoplasm, only 2 amyloplast-associated and 5 mitochondria-associated DEPs were detected. Of 37 mitochondria-associated DEPs in the D-type cytoplasm, there were 36 downregulated DEPs in the dark chip colour bulks. These findings suggest that T- and D-type of cytoplasm might influence sugar accumulation in cold-stored potato tubers in different ways. We showed that the mt/nucDNA ratio was higher in D-possessing tubers after cold storage than in T progeny. For the D-type cytoplasm, the pt/nucDNA ratio was higher for tubers characterized by dark chip colour than for those with light chip colour. Our findings suggest that T- and D-type cytoplasm might influence sugar accumulation in cold-stored potato tubers in different ways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycoalkaloids are bioactive compounds that contribute to the defence response of plants against herbivore attack and during pathogenesis. Solanaceous plants, including cultivated and wild potato species, are sources of steroidal glycoalkaloids. Solanum plants differ in the content and composition of glycoalkaloids in organs. In wild and cultivated potato species, more than 50 steroidal glycoalkaloids were recognized. Steroidal glycoalkaloids are recognized as potential allelopathic/phytotoxic compounds that may modify the growth of target plants. There are limited data on the impact of the composition of glycoalkaloids on their phytotoxic potential. RESULTS The presence of α-solasonine and α-solamargine in potato leaf extracts corresponded to the high phytotoxic potential of the extracts. Among the differentially expressed genes between potato leaf bulks with high and low phytotoxic potential, the most upregulated transcripts in sample of high phytotoxic potential were anthocyanin 5-aromatic acyltransferase-like and subtilisin-like protease SBT1.7-transcript variant X2. The most downregulated genes were carbonic anhydrase chloroplastic-like and miraculin-like. An analysis of differentially expressed proteins revealed that the most abundant group of proteins were those related to stress and defence, including glucan endo-1,3-beta-glucosidase acidic isoform, whose expression level was 47.96× higher in potato leaf extract with low phytotoxic. CONCLUSIONS The phytotoxic potential of potato leaf extract possessing low glycoalkaloid content is determined by the specific composition of these compounds in leaf extract, where α-solasonine and α-solamargine may play significant roles. Differentially expressed gene and protein profiles did not correspond to the glycoalkaloid biosynthesis pathway in the expression of phytotoxic potential. We cannot exclude the possibility that the phytotoxic potential is influenced by other compounds that act antagonistically or may diminish the glycoalkaloids effect.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) is a major potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) pathogen that causes severe annual crop losses worth billions of dollars worldwide. PVY is transmitted by aphids, and successful control of virus transmission requires the extensive use of environmentally damaging insecticides to reduce vector populations. Rysto , from the wild relative S. stoloniferum, confers extreme resistance (ER) to PVY and related viruses and is a valuable trait that is widely employed in potato resistance breeding programmes. Rysto was previously mapped to a region of potato chromosome XII, but the specific gene has not been identified to date. In this study, we isolated Rysto using resistance gene enrichment sequencing (RenSeq) and PacBio SMRT (Pacific Biosciences single-molecule real-time sequencing). Rysto was found to encode a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) protein with an N-terminal TIR domain and was sufficient for PVY perception and ER in transgenic potato plants. Rysto -dependent extreme resistance was temperature-independent and requires EDS1 and NRG1 proteins. Rysto may prove valuable for creating PVY-resistant cultivars of potato and other Solanaceae crops.

Abstract
We report the first comparative study of protein expression profiles in tuber sprouts between Katahdin-derived potato cultivars resistant and susceptible to Synchytrium endobioticum. Synchytrium endobioticum causes wart disease in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and is considered as the most important quarantine pathogen in almost all countries where potatoes are grown. We performed a comparative analysis of differentially expressed proteins in the tuber sprouts of potato cultivars differing in resistance to pathotype 1(D1) of S. endobioticum using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) approaches. Bulks prepared from two resistant (Calrose and Humalda) and three susceptible (Sebago, Seneca and Wauseon) potato cultivars were studied. When protein profiles were compared between mock- and S. endobioticum-inoculated sprouts, 35 and 63 protein spots, indicating qualitative or quantitative differences, were detected in the resistant and susceptible cultivars, respectively. In turn, 24 proteins associated with resistance to S. endobioticum were revealed by comparison of the resistant and susceptible bulks. These proteins were changed in a constitutive or induced manner and were grouped into four categories: stress and defence, cell structure, protein turnover, and metabolism. Among the 13 proteins classified into the stress and defence group, seven proteins were related to heat-shock proteins (HSPs)/chaperone factors. In addition, four proteins, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase-like, superoxide dismutase [Mn], inactive patatin-3-Kuras 1 and patatin-15, were induced in the resistant bulk; whereas two proteins, patatin-01 and nucleoredoxin 1, showed significant differences in expression between the S. endobioticum-inoculated resistant and susceptible bulks. The detection of such a large number of S. endobioticum-mediated proteins representing the HSP70, HSP60 and HSP20 families suggests their significant role in restricting wart disease in potato tubers.

Abstract
Drought tolerance in plants is a complex trait involving morphological, physiological, and biochemical mechanisms. Hundreds of genes underlie the response of plants to the stress. For crops, selecting cultivars that can produce economically significant yields under drought is a priority. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is considered as drought sensitive crop, although cultivar-dependent differences in tolerance have been described. Cultivar 'Katahdin' possesses many appropriate characteristics and is widely used for breeding purposes worldwide; it also has enhanced tolerance to drought stress. In this study, we evaluated cv. 'Katahdin' and a half-sib family of 17 Katahdin-derived cultivars for leaf relative water content (RWC) and tuber yield under drought stress. The yields of cultivars 'Wauseon', 'Katahdin', 'Magura', 'Calrose', and 'Cayuga' did not significantly decline under drought stress. Among these five, Wauseon exhibited the lowest reduction in both tuber yield and relative water content under water shortage. The data showed that 'Wauseon' is the most attractive cultivar for studies of molecular and physiological processes under drought and for potato breeding due to low yield losses that correspond with high RWC values. This cultivar can serve as a reservoir of potentially useful genes to develop cultivars with enhanced tolerance to this abiotic stress.

Abstract
Most QTL for leaf sucrose content map to positions that are similar to positions of QTL for tuber starch content in diploid potato. In the present study, using a diploid potato mapping population and Diversity Array Technology (DArT) markers, we identified twelve quantitative trait loci (QTL) for tuber starch content on seven potato chromosomes: I, II, III, VIII, X, XI, and XII. The most important QTL spanned a wide region of chromosome I (42.0–104.6 cM) with peaks at 63 and 84 cM which explained 17.6 and 19.2% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) is the key enzyme for starch biosynthesis. The gene encoding the large subunit of this enzyme, AGPaseS-a, was localized to chromosome I at 102.3 cM and accounted for 15.2% of the variance in tuber starch content. A more than 100-fold higher expression of this gene was observed in RT-qPCR assay in plants with the marker allele AGPaseS-a1334. This study is the first to report QTL for sucrose content in potato leaves. QTL for sucrose content in leaves were located on eight potato chromosomes: I, II, III, V, VIII, IX, X and XII. In 5-week-old plants, only one QTL for leaf sucrose content was detected after 8 h of darkness; four QTL were detected after 8 h of illumination. In 11-week-old plants, 6 and 3 QTL were identified after dark and light phases, respectively. Of fourteen QTL for leaf sucrose content, eleven mapped to positions that were similar to QTL for tuber starch content. These results provide genetic information for further research examining the relationships between metabolic carbon molecule sources and sinks in potato plants.

Abstract
Thermal and mechanical material properties determine comet evolution and even solar system formation because comets are considered remnant volatile-rich planetesimals. Using data from the Multipurpose Sensors for Surface and Sub-Surface Science (MUPUS) instrument package gathered at the Philae landing site Abydos on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, we found the diurnal temperature to vary between 90 and 130 K. The surface emissivity was 0.97, and the local thermal inertia was 85 ± 35 J m(-2) K(-1)s(-1/2). The MUPUS thermal probe did not fully penetrate the near-surface layers, suggesting a local resistance of the ground to penetration of >4 megapascals, equivalent to >2 megapascal uniaxial compressive strength. A sintered near-surface microporous dust-ice layer with a porosity of 30 to 65% is consistent with the data.

Abstract
Annexins are a family of calcium- and membrane-binding proteins that are important for plant tolerance to adverse environmental conditions. Annexins function to counteract oxidative stress, maintain cell redox homeostasis, and enhance drought tolerance. In the present study, an endogenous annexin, STANN1, was overexpressed to determine whether crop yields could be improved in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) during drought. Nine potential potato annexins were identified and their expression characterized in response to drought treatment. STANN1 mRNA was constitutively expressed at a high level and drought treatment strongly increased transcription levels. Therefore, STANN1 was selected for overexpression analysis. Under drought conditions, transgenic potato plants ectopically expressing STANN1 were more tolerant to water deficit in the root zone, preserved more water in green tissues, maintained chloroplast functions, and had higher accumulation of chlorophyll b and xanthophylls (especially zeaxanthin) than wild type (WT). Drought-induced reductions in the maximum efficiency and the electron transport rate of photosystem II (PSII), as well as the quantum yield of photosynthesis, were less pronounced in transgenic plants overexpressing STANN1 than in the WT. This conferred more efficient non-photochemical energy dissipation in the outer antennae of PSII and probably more efficient protection of reaction centers against photooxidative damage in transgenic plants under drought conditions. Consequently, these plants were able to maintain effective photosynthesis during drought, which resulted in greater productivity than WT plants despite water scarcity. Although the mechanisms underlying this stress protection are not yet clear, annexin-mediated photoprotection is probably linked to protection against light-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers exhibit significant variation in reducing sugar content directly after harvest, cold storage and reconditioning. Here, we performed QTL analysis for chip color, which is strongly influenced by reducing sugar content, in a diploid potato mapping population. Two QTL on chromosomes I and VI were detected for chip color after harvest and reconditioning. Only one region on chromosome VI was linked with cold-induced sweetening. Using the RT-PCR technique, we showed differential expression of the auxin-regulated protein (AuxRP) gene. The AuxRP transcript was presented in light chip color parental clone DG 97-952 and the RNA progeny of the bulk sample consisting of light chip color phenotypes after cold storage. This amplicon was absent in dark chip parental clone DG 08-26/39 and the RNA bulk sample of dark chip progeny. Genetic variation of AuxRP explained up to 16.6 and 15.2 % of the phenotypic variance after harvest and 3 months of storage at 4 °C, respectively. Using an alternative approach, the RDA-cDNA method was used to recognize 25 gene sequences, of which 11 could be assigned to potato chromosome VI. One of these genes, Heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90), demonstrated higher mRNA and protein expression in RT-qPCR and western blotting assays in the dark chip color progeny bulk sample compared with the light chip color progeny bulk sample. Our study, for the first time, suggests that the AuxRP and Hsp90 genes are novel candidate genes capable of influencing the chip color of potato tubers.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of salicylic acid (SA) signalling in Ny-1-mediated hypersensitive resistance (HR) of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to Potato virus Y (PVY). The responses of the Ny-1 allele in the Rywal potato cultivar and transgenic NahG-Rywal potato plants that do not accumulate SA were characterized at the cytological, biochemical, transcriptome, and proteome levels. Analysis of noninoculated and inoculated leaves revealed that HR lesions started to develop from 3 d post inoculation and completely restricted the virus spread. At the cytological level, features of programmed cell death in combination with reactive oxygen species burst were observed. In response to PVY infection, SA was synthesized de novo. The lack of SA accumulation in the NahG plants led to the disease phenotype due to unrestricted viral spreading. Grafting experiments show that SA has a critical role in the inhibition of PVY spreading in parenchymal tissue, but not in vascular veins. The whole transcriptome analysis confirmed the central role of SA in orchestrating Ny-1-mediated responses and showed that the absence of SA leads to significant changes at the transcriptome level, including a delay in activation of expression of genes known to participate in defence responses. Moreover, perturbations in the expression of hormonal signalling genes were detected, shown as a switch from SA to jasmonic acid/ethylene signalling. Viral multiplication in the NahG plants was accompanied by downregulation of photosynthesis genes and activation of multiple energy-producing pathways.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY, Potyvirus) is the fifth most important plant virus worldwide in terms of economic and scientific impact. It infects members of the family Solanaceae and causes losses in potato, tomato, tobacco, pepper and petunia production. In potato and its wild relatives, two types of resistance genes against PVY have been identified. While Ry genes confer symptomless extreme resistance, Ny genes cause a hypersensitive response visible as local necrosis that may also be able to prevent the virus from spreading under certain environmental conditions. The potato cultivar Sárpo Mira originates from Hungary and is highly resistant to PVY, although the source of this resistance remains unknown. We show that cv. Sárpo Mira reacts with a hypersensitive response leading to necrosis after PVYNTN infection in detached leaf, whole plant and grafting assays. The hypersensitivity to PVYNTN segregated amongst 140 individuals of tetraploid progeny of cvs. Sárpo Mira × Maris Piper in a 1:1 ratio, indicating that it was conferred by a single, dominant gene in simplex. Moreover, we identified five DNA markers linked to this trait and located the underlying locus (Ny-Smira) to the long arm of potato chromosome IX. This position corresponds to the location of the Rychc and Ny-1 genes for PVY resistance. A simple PCR marker, located 1 cM from the Ny-Smira gene, can be recommended for selection of PVY-resistant progeny of cv. Sárpo Mira.

Abstract
Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the most important viruses affecting potato (Solanum tuberosum) production. In this study, a novel hypersensitive response (HR) gene, Ny-2, conferring resistance to PVY was mapped on potato chromosome XI in cultivar Romula. In cultivars Albatros and Sekwana, the Ny-1 gene was mapped on chromosome IX. In cv. Romula, the local lesions appeared in leaves inoculated with the PVYN-Wi isolate at 20 and 28 °C; PVY systemic infections were only occasionally observed at the higher temperature. In cvs. Albatros and Sekwana, expression of the necrotic reaction to virus infection was temperature-dependent. PVYN-Wi was localized at 20 °C; at 28 °C, the systemic, symptomless infection was observed. We developed the B11.61600 marker co-segregating with Ny-2 and the S1d11 marker specific for the Ny-1 gene. Fifty potato cultivars were tested with markers B11.6 and S1d11 and marker SC895 linked to the Ny-1 gene in cv. Rywal. These results indicated the utility of these markers for marker-assisted selection of HR-like PVY resistance in potato breeding programs.

Abstract
Developing new strategies for crop plants to respond to drought is crucial for their innovative breeding. The down-regulation of nuclear cap-binding proteins in Arabidopsis renders plants drought tolerant. The CBP80 gene in the potato cultivar Desiree was silenced using artificial microRNAs. Transgenic plants displayed a higher tolerance to drought, ABA-hypersensitive stomatal closing, an increase in leaf stomata and trichome density, and compact cuticle structures with a lower number of microchannels. These findings were correlated with a higher tolerance to water stress. The level of miR159 was decreased, and the levels of its target mRNAs MYB33 and MYB101 increased in the transgenic plants subjected to drought. Similar trends were observed in an Arabidopsis cbp80 mutant. The evolutionary conservation of CBP80, a gene that plays a role in the response to drought, suggests that it is a candidate for genetic manipulations that aim to obtain improved water-deficit tolerance of crop plants.

Abstract
Sucrose is a substrate for starch biosynthesis, unloaded symplastically into the developing potato tubers. Sucrose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate in the cytosol and exported into the amyloplasts. Starch may be degraded either hydrolytically or phosphorolytically. Glucose and maltose are products of hydrolytic starch breakdown in the sprouting tubers. Glucose phosphates are products of the phosphorolytic activity, metabolized to glucose and fructose in cold-stored tubers. Development of molecular tools for assaying potato gene function provide opportunities to receive genetic progress in the sugar-starch potato breeding.

Abstract
Hypersensitive resistance (HR) is an efficient defense strategy in plants that restricts pathogen growth and can be activated during host as well as non-host interactions. HR involves programmed cell death and manifests itself in tissue collapse at the site of pathogen attack. A novel hypersensitivity gene, Ny-1, for resistance to Potato virus Y (PVY) was revealed in potato cultivar Rywal. This is the first gene that confers HR in potato plants both to common and necrotic strains of PVY. The locus Ny-1 mapped on the short arm of potato chromosome IX, where various resistance genes are clustered in Solanaceous genomes. Expression of HR was temperature-dependent in cv. Rywal. Strains PVYO and PVYN, including subgroups PVYNW and PVYNTN, were effectively localized when plants were grown at 20 degrees C. At 28 degrees C, plants were systemically infected but no symptoms were observed. In field trials, PVY was restricted to the inoculated leaves and PVY-free tubers were produced. Therefore, the gene Ny-1 can be useful for potato breeding as an alternative donor of PVY resistance, because it is efficacious in practice-like resistance conferred by Ry genes.

Abstract
Phytophthora infestans causes an economically important disease of potato called late blight. The epidemic is controlled chemically but resistant potatoes can become an environment-friendly and financially justified alternative solution. The use of diploid Solanum tuberosum derived from European tetraploid cultivars enabled the introgression of novel genes encoding foliage resistance and tuber resistance from other species into the modern cultivated potato gene pool. This study evaluated the resistance of the obtained hybrids, its quality, expression in leaflets and tubers and its relation to the length of vegetation period. We also identified genetic loci involved in late blight resistance and the length of vegetation period. A family of 156 individuals segregating for resistance to late blight was assessed by three laboratory methods: detached leaflet, tuber slice and whole tuber test, repeatedly over 5 years. Length of vegetation period was estimated by a field test over 2 years. The phenotypic distributions of all traits were close to normal. Using sequence-specific PCR markers of known chromosomal position on the potato genetic map, six quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance and length of vegetation period were identified. The most significant and robust QTL were located on chromosomes III (explaining 17.3% of variance observed in whole tuber tests), IV (15.5% of variance observed in slice tests), X (15.6% of variance observed in leaflet tests) and V (19.9% of variance observed in length of vegetation period). Genetic characterization of these novel resistance sources can be valuable for potato breeders and the knowledge that the most prominent QTLs for resistance and vegetation period length do not overlap in this material is promising with respect to breeding early potatoes resistant to P. infestans.

Abstract
Despite the long history of breeding potatoes resistant to Phytophthora infestans, this oomycete is still economically the most important pathogen of potato worldwide. The correlation of high levels of resistance to late blight with a long vegetation period is one of the bottlenecks for progress in breeding resistant cultivars of various maturity types. Solanum phureja was identified as a source of effective late blight resistance, which was transferred to the cultivated gene pool by interspecific crosses with dihaploids of Solanum tuberosum. A novel major resistance locus, Rpi-phu1, derived most likely from S. phureja and conferring broad-spectrum resistance to late blight, was mapped to potato chromosome IX, 6.4 cM proximal to the marker GP94. Rpi-phu1 was highly effective in detached leaflet, tuber slice and whole tuber tests during 5 years of quantitative phenotypic assessment. The resistance did not show significant correlation with vegetation period length. Our findings provide a well-characterized new source of resistance for breeding early and resistant-to-P. infestans potatoes.

Abstract
Two new loci for resistance to potato virus M (PVM), Gm and Rm, have been mapped in potato. The gene Gm was derived from Solanum gourlayi, whereas, Solanum megistacrolobum is the source of the gene Rm. Gm confers resistance to PVM infection after mechanical inoculation. Rm induces a hypersensitive response in potato plants. Two diploid populations segregating for Gm and Rm, bulked segregant analysis (BSA) using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR), and available potato molecular maps were instrumental for mapping the resistance loci. The novel locus Gm was mapped to a central region on potato chromosome IX. The locus Rm was placed on the short arm of chromosome XI, close to the marker loci GP250 and GP283, where a hotspot for monogenic and polygenic resistance to diverse pathogens is located in the potato and tomato genome.

Abstract
A novel locus for potato resistance to potato leafroll virus (PLRV) was characterized by inheritance studies and molecular mapping. The diploid parental clone DW 91-1187 was resistant to PLRV accumulation in both inoculated plants and their tuber progeny. The resistance to PLRV accumulation present in DW 91-1187 was not transmitted to any F1 offspring when crossed with a PLRV susceptible clone. Instead, one half of the F1 individuals exhibited undetectable amounts of PLRV as determined by ELISA during the primary infection assay, but accumulated PLRV in their tuber progeny plants. The other half was clearly infected both in the inoculated and tuber-born plants. The inheritance of resistance to PLRV accumulation may be explained by a model of two complementary alleles of a single gene ( PLRV.4) or by two complementary genes that are closely linked in repulsion phase. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers linked to the PLRV.4 locus were selected. The two complementary factors were closely linked in coupling phase to the alternative alleles UBC864(600) and UBC864(800) of DNA marker UBC864. These markers may be used for marker-assisted selection of genotypes having both factors for resistance to PLRV accumulation. The PLRV.4 locus was mapped to a central position on linkage group XI of the potato molecular map, where no resistance locus has been mapped previously.

Abstract
The dominant allele Ns confers in potato resistance to Potato virus S (PVS). To identify the chromosomal location of Ns, we mapped the Ns-linked marker SCG17(448) and the ISSR marker UBC811(600) to linkage group VIII of the RFLP map of a population that did not segregate for Ns. The map position of the Ns locus on chromosome VIII was confirmed with the detection of linkage between Ns and three RFLP markers, GP126, GP189 and CP16, known to be located in a corresponding region on potato chromosome VIII. PCR-based assays were developed for these RFLP markers. The PCR primers specific for GP126 generated polymorphic products (STS marker). In the case of markers GP189 and CP16, informative polymorphism was revealed in the Ns population after digestion with the restriction enzymes HaeIII and HindIII, respectively. The genetic distance between Ns and the closest CP16 locus was 4.2 cM.

Abstract
The genetic relationship between twenty-six strains of Agaricus bisporus were analysed by the RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) method. DNA amplification was performed with the use of twelve arbitrary 10-mer primers. Four primers, which gave polymorphic band patterns were chosen for RAPD analysis. In total, they gave 24 distinguishable bands, of which nine were polymorphic. The conducted research showed that there is a great genetic similarity among the examined strains. Low polymorphism of the strains may be a proof of a limited genetic pool used in the cultivation of those strains.

Abstract
Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) causes one of the most widespread and important virus diseases in potato. Resistance to PLRV is controlled by genetic factors that limit plant infection by viruliferous aphids or virus multiplication and accumulation. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of resistance to virus accumulation revealed one major and two minor QTL. The major QTL, PLRV.1, mapped to potato chromosome XI in a resistance hotspot containing several genes for qualitative and quantitative resistance to viruses and other potato pathogens. This QTL explained between 50 and 60% of the phenotypic variance. The two minor QTL mapped to chromosomes V and VI. Genes with sequence similarity to the tobacco N gene for resistance to Tobacco mosaic virus were tightly linked to PLRV.1. The cDNA sequence of an N-like gene was used to develop the sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker N127(1164) that can assist in the selection of potatoes with resistance to PLRV.

Abstract
Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) polymorphism was used for finding markers linked to the Ns gene, responsible for a resistance of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to potato virus S (PVS). The ISSR markers UBC811(660) and UBC811(950) were found to be linked to Ns. Linkage distances were estimated to be 2.6 cM and 6.6 cM, respectively. UBC811(660) showed high accuracy for detection of PVS resistance in diploid potato clones. In tetraploids, among seventeen studied genotypes containing the resistance gene, this marker was revealed in eleven. UBC811(660) can be a powerful tool for detection of genotypes carrying the Ns gene in diploid potato breeding programmes.
