“…Since both major and minor late blight resistance sources (e.g., genes or QTL) were observed from diverse wild potato species, such as Solanum demissum, S. bulbocastanum, S. polyadenium, S. stoloniferum, S. vernei , and S. verrucosum , ( Graham, 1963 ; Toxopeus, 1964 ; Black, 1970 ; Khiutti et al., 2015 ; Karki et al., 2021 ), various mapping populations were first developed with them, and then analyzed by researchers to localize new resistance genes or QTL. Major and minor late blight resistance QTL were detected across all the 12 fundamental potato chromosomes after inspecting ten different genetic studies conducted with multiple diploid (or di-haploid) bi-parental mapping populations having various wild potato species’ genetic backgrounds ( Leonards-Schippers et al., 1992 ; Leonards-Schippers et al., 1994 ; van Eck and Jacobsen, 1996 ; Collins et al., 1999 ; Visker et al., 2003 ; Simko et al., 2006 ; Śliwka et al., 2007 ; Wickramasinghe et al., 2009 ; Li et al., 2012 ; Chakrabarti et al., 2014 ). Chromosome 5 was most frequently identified as a hotspot for significant QTL relating to P. infestans ( Leonards-Schippers et al., 1992 ; Leonards-Schippers et al., 1994 ; Collins et al., 1999 ; Visker et al., 2003 ; Śliwka et al., 2007 ).…”
