PVY resistance in Solanum chacoense CHC 39-7 Found in Argentina, has genetic resistance to all strains of PVY USDA-SCRI project objective: to develop molecular markers to be used for breeding cultivars with this resistance OUTCOMES: Two linked markers Two diploid germplasm releases One genome sequence
