Abstract

The possibility to obtain diploid hybrids by pollination of allotetraploid wild potato species Solanum acaule and S. stoloniferum plants with fertile pollen of S. tuberosum dihaploids was demonstrated for the first time. Dihaploid hybrids have arisen with comparatively high frequency (from 12.5 to 33.3%). They were characterized by high regularity of meiosis and high fertility. They easily crossed with S. tuberosum dihaploids, forming viable progeny. This seems prospective for effective introgression of valuable genetic gene pool of wild allotetraploid potato species in breeding material of S. tuberosum on the diploid level.
