Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect The RB transgene significantly increased late blight resistance in all RB-containing lines, especially younger plants.
- Observation RB transgene transcripts were detected at all plant ages.
- Association RB transcript levels correlated weakly with disease resistance.
- Mechanism Age-associated changes in resistance could not be attributed to R-gene transcript abundance.
