Abstract excerpt
Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred-hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands. With the goal of preserving haplotypes developed over 200 years of selection, diploid potato breeding in the United States started with the creation of...
