Abstract
Five diploid hybrid families derived from crosses between haploids of three Argentinian cultivars and three diploid wild species,Solanum gourlayi, S. chacoense andS. spegazzinii, were evaluated in a field experiment in Balcarce. All plants were androsterile and, thus, could not be screened for 2n pollen production. Data on agronomic tuber traits were statistically analyzed. Differences among families were non-significant for tuber number/plant, but were significant for tuber weight/plant and dry matter content (with values above 21.0% in two of them). The relative frequencies of tubers in the categories established for size, skin texture, and eye depth were family dependent, but they were familiy independent in the categories established for tuber shape and skin color. Great morphological variability was detected for all the traits studied, and plants with high yield and high dry matter content were identified. These families can be used as sources of germplasm in breeding and to explore heterotic responses in 2x × 4x crosses, given the capacity of some plants to produce 2n eggs, as found in a related investigation.
Resumen
Cinco familias híbridas diploides derivadas de cruzamientos entre tres haploides de cultivares argentinos y las especies silvestresS. gourlayi, S. chacoense yS. spegazzinii, fueron evaluadas en un ensayo de campo en Balcarce. Todas las plantas fueron androestériles, y no pudieron ser tamizadas por producción de polen 2n. Los datos sobre características agronómicas de los tubérculos se analizaron estadísticamente. Las diferencias entre familias no fueron significativas para número de tubérculos/planta, pero fueron significativas para peso de tubérculos/planta y para contenido de materia seca (con valores superiores a 21.0% en dos familias). Las frecuencias relativas de tubérculos en las clases que se establecieron para tamaño, textura de piel y profundidad de ojos fueron dependientes de las familias, pero fueron independientes de las familias para forma de tubérculo y color de piel. Se detectó gran variabilidad morfológica para todos los caracteres estudiados y se identificaron plantas de altos rendimientos y contenido de materia seca. Estas familias pueden ser usadas como fuentes de germoplasma en el mejoramiento genético y para explorar respuestas heteróticas en cruzamientos 2x × 4x, dada la capacidad de algunas plantas para producir oósferas 2n, como se detectó en un experimento relacionado.
