Phytophthora infestans is the most important fungal pathogen in the cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum). Dominant, race-specific resistance alleles and quantitative resistance-the latter being more important for potato breeding- are found in the germplasm of cultivated and wild potato species. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to two races of P. infestans have been mapped in an F(1) progeny of a cross between non-inbred diploid potato parents with multiple alleles. Interval mapping methods based on highly informative restriction fragment length polymorphism markers revealed 11 chromosome segments on 9 potato chromosomes showing significant contrasts between marker genotypic classes. Whereas phenotypically no difference in quantitative resistance response was observed between the two fungal races, QTL mapping identified at least one race specific QT locus. Two QT regions coincided with two small segments on chromosomes V and XII to which the dominant alleles R1, conferring race specific resistance to P. infestans, Rx1 and Rx2, both inducing extreme resistance to potato virus X, have been allocated in independent mapping experiments. Some minor QTLs were correlated with genetic loci for specific proteins related to pathogenesis, the expression of which is induced after infection with P. infestans.
