Objective:
Use conserved nematode effector genes as probes to identify wild potato species with resistance to Globodera rostochiensis.
Approach:
1. Analyze Globodera nematode genome sequences to identify conserved effector genes.
2. Use conserved effectors to screen a list of wild potato accessions for a hypersensitive response.
3. Test the candidate wild potato accessions for resistance to G. rostochiensis.
