Improving the yield, processing quality and disease and pest resistance of potatoes by genotypic recurrent selection
2009-11-01
Abstract excerpt
A potato (Solanum tuberosum Gp Tuberosum) breeding programme is described and analysed in which resistances to late blight [Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary] and the white potato cyst nematode (Globodera pallida) have been combined with a modest increase in yield and acceptable fry colour for processing. It began in 1991 and has involved cycles of crossing, selection between from 120 to 145 progenies (full-s...
