The host: Potato
- 3-most important food crop –food security
- Tetraploid and relative heterozygot
– In Sweden approximately 20-30% of the fungicides are used on potato (only 1% of land). Treatments 7-15 times. – Almost irreplacable part of Nordic cuisine
- Loss of approximately 7 billion/year in control effort and
lost production.
– Very high yield potential, high protein and vitamin content – Easy to transform – Gene flow very low risk (easy GM fields) – 4-5000 SEK/ha extra income if late blight problem solved (Eriksson et al 2016, Potato Research)

- Oomyceet-”algsvamp”
- Phytophthora –plant destroyer
- Irish Potato Famine 1845
Start of Plant Pathology
- 100% crop loss in one week
- The major fungicide target in Sweden
- Major resistance genes isolated
Phytophthora infestans causing Late blight disease (bladmögel) and tuber blight
Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences www.slu.se
Alternaria solani causing Early Blight
- No major resistance gene so far
indentifed
- Limited number of fungicides
- Increasing problems with fungicide
resistance
- Large variations between years in
Sweden

Some methods
- Gene technology
- Gene editing
- Induced resistance (IR) by
exogenous compounds
- Biological control ?
- Combinations
- Background check on IR
