Abstract
Tuber is the main planting material for commercial potato production. Besides, true potato seed (TPS), i.e. true botanical seed is another technology of potato. The TPS-raised crop has several advantages over the tuber-raised crops but due to the certain limitations of the conventional TPS technology, it could not be popularized, as expected the world over. The major drawbacks are non-uniformity of crop and tuber characters, lengthy crop duration, and labour-intensive farming due to seedling raising and transplanting. To address these issues, this chapter highlights a brief overview of the production of hybrid TPS, applying genomics approaches to engineer cloning through apomixis seeds, and offers the prospect of F1 hybrid potato technology.
