New clonal selections with increased vine vigor and stress resistance have been identified
for the potato cultivar 'Russet Norkotah'. However, the importance of clonal variation in …

In recent years, heat stress has affected potato production more frequently, resulting in lower
marketable yields and reduced tuber quality. In order to develop heat-tolerant potatoes, it is …

The low vine vigor and high N requirement of Russet Norkotah may lead to N loss and
groundwater contamination on coarse-textured soils. Recent clonal selections from Texas …
