Abstract

Potato breeding selections A66107-51 and A68113-4 (Solanum tuberosum gptuberosum) are being released as germplasm that is highly resistant to Verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae Kleb.) These selections have been extensively evaluated for resistance to Verticillium as measured by symptom severity and degree of colonization byV. dahliae. They combine outstanding wilt resistance with good tuber maturity characteristics, high yield, and french fry processing tuber type. A66107-51 has long-oblong, russeted tubers, with high yield and variable processing quality. A68113-4 has long-oblong, partially russeted tubers with high yield and good processing quality. Both selections are fertile as female parents, and A66107-51 is occasionally pollen fertile. The Verticillium resistance of these two clones has been transmitted to progeny. These selections were developed by USDA-ARS in cooperation with the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station. Seed is available from USDA-ARS, Aberdeen, Idaho.

Compendio

Las selecciones mejoradas de papa A66170-51 y A68113-4 (Solanum tuberosum gptuberosum) están siendo liberadas como germoplasma altamente resistente a la marchitez porVerticillium (Verticillium dahliae Kleb.). Estas selecciones han sido evaluadas extensivamente para resistencia aVerticillium determinada por la severidad de los sintomas y el grado de colonización porV. dahliae. Ellas conbinan una gran resistencia a la marchitez, con buenas características de maduración, alto rendimiento y un tipo de tubérculo apto para el procesamiento como papa frita a la francesa. A66107-51 tiene tubérculos largos y oblangos, rojizos, con alto rendimiento y calidad variable de procesamiento. A68113-4 posee tubérculos largos y oblongos, parcialmente rojizos, con alto rendimiento y buena calidad de procesamiento. Ambas selecciones son fértiles como plantas madres y A66107-51 es ocasionalmente de polen fértil. La resistencia de estos dos clones aVerticillium ha sido transferida a la progenie. Estas selecciones fueron desarrolladas por el Servicio de Investigación Agrícola del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA-ARS) en cooperación con la Estación Experimental Agrícola de Idaho. Los tubérculos-semillas se encuentran disponibles en el USDA-ARS, Aberdeen, Idaho.
