Diploid parthenogenesis and androgenesis in diploid Solanum

Euphytica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Diploid parthenogenetic and androgenetic plants were found in certain interspecific hybrid combinations in diploid Solanum. Self progenies of parthenotes of S. verrucosum appeared highly uniform and 100% homozygous for resistance to Race 1.2.3.4 of Phytophthora infestans. They can be of prime importance for breeding if homozygous lines are needed.

Diploid androgenetic plants occur among interspecific hybrid progenies in Solanum. They could be used to investigate the effect of different plasmons on several characters.
