Horizontal (field) resistance to late blight and common scab that is controlled by numerous genes proved to be quite durable in certain potato varieties in Hungarian trials. Although it is difficult to breed for this type of resistance, it has become the preferable strategy in today's breeding programmes, providing longlasting and less vulnerable protection. Potato breeding in Hungary has produced some promising cultivars such as White Lady, Százszorszép and Rebeka with multiple disease resistance that may play an important role in the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) of near future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
