These parental accessions and their respective hybrid offspring were screened using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests to detect alleles conferring resistance to P. infestans (R1 and R3) and to PVY (Rysto). Screenings were made in detached leaflet tests (P. infestans), and with the aid of ELISA tests (PVY). The resistance of two hybrids derived from grr was rated as high, mostly due to a hypersensitivity reaction. The allele R3 was detected in only one grr plant among 20 plant populations for each grr and nan accession. R1 and R3 alleles were more frequently detected in one hybrid of grr (grr × B.d.R5.). The resistance allele Rysto was found in nan and provided host plant resistance to three strains of PVY, including PVYNTN.
