So you are growing one plant of a variety that supposedly has one or more ph genes for Late Blight and still that one plant got LB?
So you've decided that those LB tolerance genes are, shall we say "unknowing", aka agnostic?
Not a problem at all. Just notify the breeder of the the PL plant you have, no doubt a PL plant and a hybrid, and tell the breeder that he/she needs to devlop some gnostic genes for those toelrances.
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.
Carolyn, and if I've misinterprted what you said, please correct me.
