Abstract:
Tubers of 23 potato cultivars and breeding lines were assessed for susceptibility to infection by Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica (Eca) over five main crop seasons between 1984 and 1989. Susceptibility to Eca-induced soft rot was determined by measuring the weight of rotted tissue in anaerobically whole tubers 6 days after inoculation with Eca. Potato lines differed in susceptibility to soft rot. Lines "1463.1", "Bison", and "Rua" were consistently very susceptible, and "Kaipara", "064/18", and "065/27" were least susceptible to Eca-induced soft rot.
