Abstract  `Gladiator' is a new maincrop potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivar with resistance to both potato cyst nematode species (Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida) and powdery scab (Spongospora subterranea). It has long oval, block-shaped tubers suitable for french fry manufacture when mature and for fresh market when still immature.
