▪ Abstract Nineteen single dominant genes (R genes) for resistance to viruses, nematodes,
and fungi have been positioned on the molecular map of potato using DNA markers …

The commercialisation of GM crops in Europe is practically non-existent at the present time.
The European Commission has instigated changes to the regulatory process to address the …

Potato is produced on all continents except Antarctica and is the world's third most important
food crop. Potato production has increased dramatically in developing countries in the past …

Potato is the third most important staple food crop. To address challenges associated with
global food security, a hybrid potato breeding system, aimed at converting potato from a …

Inbreeding depression confers reduced fitness among the offspring of genetic relatives. As a
clonally propagated crop, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) suffers from severe inbreeding …

Cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a highly heterozygous autotetraploid that
presents challenges in genome analyses and breeding. Wild potato species serve as a …

Solanum tuberosum L. DNA sequences containing simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs
were extracted from the EMBL database, cDNA and selectively enriched small-insert DNA …

To facilitate genome-guided breeding in potato, we developed an 8303 Single Nucleotide
Polymorphism (SNP) marker array using potato genome and transcriptome resources. To …

Summarizing landmark research, Volume 2 of this essential series furnishes information on
the availability of germplasm resources that breeders can exploit for producing high-yielding …

An ultradense genetic linkage map with> 10,000 AFLP loci was constructed from a
heterozygous diploid potato population. To our knowledge, this is the densest meiotic …
