| Abstract: | Summary To study the joint effects of homozygotization and polyploidization in potato, the performance has been examined of five potato genotypes at three (x, 2x, 4x) and two genotypes at two (x, 2x) ploidy levels. Six out of the seven genotypes studied were compared with their heterozygous diploid parental clone. In this way comparisons could be made between i) the heterozygous diploid and its monohaploid derivatives, ii) three or two ploidy levels per genotye and iii) homozygous di- and tetreploids and their heterozygous diploid source.Large variation could be detected between monohaploids obtained from one diploid source. A striking increase in vigour was observed with somatic chromosome doubling from x to 2x, but less clearly from 2x to 4x. The relatively vigorous diploids showed a weaker response to tetraploidization than the less vigorous ones. The heterozygous diploid exceeded all homozygous di- and tetraploid derivatives in performance. The results of this study suggest positive gene dosage effects for tuber production more than for leaf area and plant height. The observations on plant vigour in homo- and heterozygotes suggest that dominance effects are stronger than additive gene effects. Owing to sterility problems, homozygous potato clones will presumably be of little importance for practical breeding. |
