The goal of germplasm enhancement is to introgress traits from wild crop relatives into
cultivated material and eventually cultivars. It seeks to restore genetic diversity that has been …

Several recent national and international projects have focused on large-scale genotyping
of plant genetic resources in vegetatively propagated crops like fruit and berries, potatoes …

The Neotropics are the most species-rich area of the planet. Understanding the origin and
maintenance of this diversity is an important goal of ecology and evolutionary biology …

Our paper analyzes full plastid DNA sequence data of 202 wild and cultivated diploid
potatoes, Solanum section Petota, to explore its phylogenetic utility compared to prior …

Tuber quality is the subject of great interest among the processing industry and consumers
worldwide. Being a polygenic trait, its enhancement requires a systematic understanding of …

Late blight remains the most devastating disease in potato cultivation. The best protection
against this disease could be achieved by durably resistant cultivars, but these do not exist …

Common potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and its wild relatives belong to Solanum section
Petota. This section's phylogeny and species delimitation are complicated due to various …

In potato, a classification system known as the endosperm balance number (EBN)
hypothesis has been employed as a measure of effective ploidy. This classification system …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a staple food worldwide, but modern potato cultivation relies
heavily on the use of pesticides to control pests and diseases. However, many wild Solanum …

Inbred‐hybrid breeding of diploid potatoes necessitates breeding lines that are self‐
compatible. One way of incorporating self‐compatibility into incompatible cultivated potato …
