Pemanfaatan gen RB dalam pengenbangan tanaman kentang tahan penyakit hawar daun (phytophthora infestans)

Abstract

Potato late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans is one of the most devastating plant disease. Potato yield losses due to this disease ranged from 47-100%. Frequent intervals and high rates of fungicide spray, currently practiced by potato growers to control the disease are expensive. Host resistance is an alternative control measure that is more economically and environmentally sustainable.
