Somatic Hybrids of Solanum Tuberosum and Related Species

  • Chapter
Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Biology in the 21st Century

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 36))

Abstract

Wild species related to potato have many interesting disease resistances and other characters that could be useful in potato breeding. Often, however, these species are difficult or impossible to cross with potato. For this reason the asexual combining of genomes by somatic hybridization appears to many workers to be one means by which the sexual incompatibilities might be bypassed. Somatic hybrids of Solanum tuberosum and related species have been sought for over 20 years with various degrees of success. Hybrids that have been produced between S. tuberosum and other Solanum spp.include:S. tuberosum + S. acauli (38), S. tuberosum+ S. berthaulti (31), S. tuberosum+S. brevidens (1,6,29), S. tuberosum+S. bulbocastanum (5,13,15,35), S. tuberosum +S. chacoense (21), S. tuberosum +S. circaeifollium (26), S. tuberosum +S. commersonii(8,20), S. tuberosum + S. etuberosum (27), S. tuberosum + S. nigrum (7), S. tuberosum+S. papita (19), S. tuberosum + S. phureja (30), S. tuberosum +S. pinnatisectum(33), S. tuberosum polyadenium (Hunt and Helgeson, unpublished), S. tuberosum+ S. torvum(18).
