It is shown that it is possible to obtain an indication of the parental value of heterozygous cultivars of potatoes for the characters breeders' preference, total tuber weight, mean tuber weight and number of tubers. Three methods of predicting the characteristics of progeny produced from particular
Most previous studies on cross prediction methods have examined relatively few crosses, particularly in relation to the numbers involved in most breeding programmes. In this paper the feasibility of using cross prediction methods was examined in a practical potato (Solanum tuberosum) breeding scheme
Eleven isozyme markers were utilized for quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis in diploid potato. These markers are distributed among 7 of the 12 chromosomes and therefore give a representative, though sparse, survey of the potato genome. Tuber specific gravity and tuder dormancy were studied. Two
