Early generation selection methods used in Polish potato breeding

Abstract

Polish potato breeding involves two stages: development of parental lines and their use in the development of new cultivars. In the breeding of new cultivars, early generation selection is based mainly on visual discrimination of superior genotypes. Careful evaluation of clones is done in later generations. In parental line breeding the whole selection procedure is completed in early generations. Experience gained in early generation selection for virus resistance, yield, and dry matter content has been summarized. Evidence has also been presented that evaluation of individual tubers makes possible an inexpensive selection of numerous genotypes for several important characters.

Resumen

El mejoramiento de papas en Polonia incluye dos etapas: el desarrollo de líneas parentales y su uso en la selección de cultivares nuevos. En el desarrollo de cultivares nuevos, la selección temprana se basa mayormente en la discriminación visual de genotipos superiores. Luego se hace la evaluación rígida de los clones engeneraciones posteriores. En el mejoramiento de líneas parentales, todo el proceso de selección es completado en generaciones tempranas.

Experiencia ganada en la selección en generaciones tempranas para resistencia a virus, rendimiento y contenido de materia seca ha sido sumarizada. Se ha presentado también evidencias de que la evaluación individual de tubérculos hace posible la reducción del costo del proceso de selección de numerosos genotipos para varios caracteres importantes.
