Abstract
Large reciprocal differences were observed inSolanum tuberosum, when a mixed population of Group Phureja and Gp. Stenotomum was reciprocally crossed with a population of Gp. Tuberosum haploids. In the progeny reciprocal differences were observed for tuber initiation, tuber set, vine senescence, tuber yield, flowering, and male fertility. These differences were large in the F1 generation, but were less dramatic when the populations were inter-mated to form F2 generations. It is proposed that most of the reciprocal differences were due to a difference in photoperiod response in the reciprocal populations. Cytoplasmic inheritance or dauermodification are considered the most likely explanations for this difference in photoperiod reaction.
Resumen
Grandes diferencias recíprocas se observaron dentro deSolanum tuberosum, cuando poblaciones mistas del Grupo Phureja y del Grupo Stenotomum se cruzaron en for recíproca con una población de haploides del Grupo Tuberosum. Diferencias recíprocas en la progenie, se observaron para tuberización, senecencia del follaje, rendimiento de tubérculo, floración y fertilidad masculina. Estas diferencias fueron grandes en la generación F1, pero menos dramáticas cuando la generación F2 fue creada. Se propone que la mayoría de las diferencias recíprocas dentro de las poblaciones sea debido a diferencias en la reacción al fotoperíodo. Herencia cytoplásmica o “dauermodification” son consideradas como la explicación más probable para la diferencia en reacción al fotoperíodo.
