Potato (Solanum tuherosum L.) is one of the most important food crops in the world. Together late blight (Phytophthom infestans ) and Colorado potato beetle (CPB) cause the most disastrous losses of potato crops. The development of new potato cultivars with genetic resistance to these pests is a key component for the management of late bight and CPB. Several Mexican wild species, S. pinnatisectitm, S. bulbocasumum, S. cardiophyllum and S. chacoense have been identified as useful...
