✦ Synopsis

Out of 720 field-grown potato first year seedlings plants with best tuber apearance and large and medium size tubers with best shape were respectively selected. The tuber progeny of each group was evaluated in field experiments. It was demonstrated that the selection of individual tubers was very effective in the elimination of clones with irregular tuber shape and deep eyes. The tuber progeny of selected tubers was not inferior to the tuber progeny of selected plants. Possible applications of the results to practical potato breeding are discussed.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber buds normally remain dormant through the growing season until several weeks after harvest. In the cultivar Majestic, this innate dormancy persisted for 9 to 12 weeks in storage at 10 ~ C, but only 3 to 4 weeks when the tubers were stored at 2~ At certain stages,
