advances at the World Potato Congress 🥔

On 28 October, Aska Goverse the project coordinator (Wageningen University & Research) participated in the World Potato Congress 2026, held in , 📍A special session was organised on potato cyst nematodes, in which Aska presented the research carried out in to manage these nematodes that have overcome current host plant resistances due to genetic selection🧬🪱

🤝 The session included presentations of projects with which has previously collaborated and with which it maintains a good partnership. These included PAPAS - Potatoes and Pests, Actionable Science Against Nematodes and Action Scotland, together with , extending the network among projects addressing similar challenges with potato cyst nematodes.

100% of nematodes are polyandrous 🔬

📑 A recent study published in Ecology and Evolution by partners from INRAE and has demonstrated for the first time that polyandry occurs in the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida.

🧬 By analysing the DNA of young nematodes, researchers from found that each female had offspring fathered by an average of seven different males.

🪱 However, multiple paternity remained stable throughout the adaptation process and was detected in all the cysts analysed. These findings provide new insights into the reproductive biology and adaptation of G. pallida, with implications for understanding how this important potato pest responds to resistant cultivars.

has launched a survey which seeks the views of farmers, advisers, plant breeders, researchers, agricultural and food-industry representatives, variety-testing and registration bodies, policymakers, civil-society organisations and consumers 🔛

As they say, "We want to understand the needs, priorities and challenges of these groups. The findings will inform the development of practical information, guidance and other resources".

📋 Following the initial introduction to the project, individual stakeholder categories contain between 10-15 questions, many of which have pre-defined response options. The questionnaire is anonymous and is available in multiple European languages 🌍
