| Abstract: | Summary A joint Chilean, Italian, and United States potato (Solanum tuberosum) germplasm collecting expedition was conducted in the Guaitecas and Chonos Archipelagos, south of Chiloé Island, between
March 4 – March 21, 1990. The expedition resulted in 30 collections ofSolanum tuberosum and 1 collection ofFragaria chiloensis L. Twenty-three of the potato collections were along the salt-water-swept shores of the islands. These beach populations,
unlike the indigenous landraces in southern Chile, are self-perpetuating populations and provide useful new germplasm for
researchers interested in the origin of cultivated potatoes and in the origin ofSolanum tuberosum in Chile. |
