Reinventing potato from a clonally propagated tetraploid into a seed-propagated diploid,
hybrid potato, is an important innovation in agriculture. Due to deleterious mutations, it has …

Research on diploid hybrid potato has made fast advances in recent years. In this review we
give an overview of the most recent and relevant research outcomes. We define different …

The introduction of hybrid breeding in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) requires novel and
efficient crop** systems for potato production based on true potato seed (TPS). Such …

The third most important food crop worldwide, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a tetraploid
outcrossing species propagated from tubers. Breeders have long been challenged by …

Compared to other major food crops, progress in potato yield as the result of breeding efforts
is very slow. Genetic gains cannot be fixed in potato due to obligatory out-breeding …

The breeding of crop plants is a highly effective means of increasing agricultural productivity
in a sustainable and environmentally safe way. Prebreeding and population improvement …

In response to increasing interest in diploid potato (Solanum tuberosum) breeding and the
production of diploid inbred hybrid potato varieties, the Breeding and Genetics section of the …

Potato production in the develo** countries in Asia now accounts for a greater share of
global output than all the industrialized countries combined. This paper examines the …

Introduction Potato is considered to be complete food that will not only ensure food security
but also alleviate poverty. Seed production of potato requires specific temperatures and …

Root and tuber crop breeding is at the front and center of CIP's science program, which
seeks to develop and disseminate sustainable agri-food technologies, information and …
