Noncommercial varieties of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) harbor genetic potential for
improvements of disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance in commercial potato …

The integration of molecular markers in the realm of potato genetics has opened new
avenues for accelerating genotype analysis and developing improved varieties. Many …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an annual dicotyledonous tuber crop originating from the
Americas and now distributed all over the world. A member of the Solanaceae family, potato …

The use of molecular markers in potato breeding offers new opportunities for the selection of
genotypes. To date, many markers linked to useful traits have been found. Indeed, the potato …

Because most commercial potato cultivars were developed in temperate regions, they are
adapted, therefore producing the greatest yield under long photoperiods and moderate …

Climate change triggers increases in temperature, drought, and/or salinity that threaten
potato production, because they necessitate specific amounts and quality of water …

Late blight is the most devastating disease of the potato crop that can be effectively
managed by growing resistant cultivars. Introgression of resistance (R) genes/quantitative …

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L. subsp. tuberosum and andigena) and seven other related
species, which are cultivated today, have become the most important non-cereal crop in the …

World potato productivity including India was almost stagnant during the last two decades
largely due to yield losses by biotic and abiotic stresses. Among biotic stresses, late blight …

Efficiency and precision in plant breeding can be enhanced by using diagnostic DNA-based
markers for the selection of superior cultivars. This technique has been applied to many …
