Long Description: The Mi gene of L. peruvianum can be represented as one page from one of the white books in the L. peruvianum genome. This gene can be inserted into the red bookstack representing the L. esculentum genome without unintentionally bringing along undesirable linked genes from L. peruvianum.

Transfer of the

nematode resistance

gene into elite cultivars

via transgenic plant

methods now can be

finished in 1 year.

Only 1 gene

from L. peruvianum

is transferred

into the elite cultivar.
