Selection of Variants by Dual Culture of Potato and Phytophthora infestans

  • Chapter
Potato

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 3))

Abstract

With the exception of sugarcane, no world crop rivals with potato as a model for improvement via somaclonal variation (Orton 1984). Low fertility of most currently grown cultivars, usual vegetative propagation of this crop, high level of heterozygosity together with an autotetraploid origin and good performances of several old varieties difficult to match by normal hybridization procedures are major reasons to extend breeding methods in potato to somaclonal technology. Encouraging results obtained by applying conventional evaluation schemes to potato somaclones have been recently discussed by Thomson et al. (1986).
