Abstract
Viruses and cyst nematodes cause many diseases in potato, and therefore, one of the major breeding aims in potato research is to increase the level of resistance. Success in this field may be obtained efficiently by the combined application of classical and cell culture approaches. For Solarium tuberosum, an analytical synthetic breeding scheme has been proposed using the different ploidy levels (Wenzel et al. 1979). This paper concentrates on experiments for a rapid incorporation and acceleration of resistance into breeding clones using the lx, 2x and 4x ploidy levels, which are either obtained partheno- or androgenetically. Microspore culture within the anther as well as in isolation from the anther is used, furthermore, procedures are described to increase genetically the frequency of the in vitro response, particularly the frequency of the regeneration from microspores.
