| Abstract: | Summary Experiments were carried out withSolanum phureja germplasm which had been selected for tuberization response under W. European growing conditions. Selected clones and seedling
(true potato seed; TPS) families ofS. phureja were raised in the field and tubers assessed for yield, tuber number, skin colour, size, shape and cooking characteristics.
Some families had low within-family variances for cooked flesh hardness and some appeared as uniform for tuber size and shape
as the selectedS. phureja clones. Skin colours of the tubers within TPS families were often assorted.
The commercial potential ofS. phureja as a possible TPS-derived crop is discussed, as its self-incompatibility makes possible the cheap production of true potato
seed. |
