Abstract
The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the world’s most valuable basic food crops. It is a tetraploid (2n = 48), highly heterozygous, and vegetatively propagated crop. Polyploidy and sterility are a serious constraint in potato breeding through sexual crossing. The outcome of crosses between tetraploid parental lines is often unpredictable. Genotypes superior for a sufficient number of desired characters are extremely rare in such progenies. Spontaneous somatic mutations occur in potatoes with quite a low frequency (Ross 1986).
