Abstract
‘Golden Wonder’ is a russet tuber, periclinal chimeral sport of ‘Langworthy’, a variety with pale non-russet tuber skin. Approximately 94% of 1 000 adventitious regenerants from complex expiants and single cell derived calli of ‘Golden Wonder’ had non-russet tuber skins. The remainder were russets (c. 1%) or chimeras (splashed), average c. 5%. Observation of haulm morphology and tuber skin character of regenerants, vegetatively propagated from tubers for two generations, revealed chimeral breakdown of the splashed progeny and indications of further cryptic chimeras.
It is suggested that procedures be sought which would result in regeneration from single cells to facilitate the evaluation of somaclonal variation in potato improvement.
