Advantages of Wild Diploid Solanum Species Over Cultivated Diploid Relatives in Potato Breeding Programs

2006-06-01

Abstract excerpt

For breeding programs of the tetraploid potato (Solanum tuberosum), both wild and cultivated diploid relatives are valuable sources of genetic diversity. While both types of germplasm are used in breeding programs, there are several advantages to using wild relatives. Diploid relatives are typically crossed with haploids (2n = 2x = 24) from tetraploid S. tuberosum to improve daylength adaptation. Most haploids are...
