Abstract EN
Potato is an indispensable part of human food.
Many wild and cultivated potato relatives have been screened to find the best germplasm to improve productivity and quality, but only a small sample of the available biodiversity has been exploited.
Most wild relatives are self-incompatible diploids.
Genetic variability exists within and among populations, even within a species.
Therefore, it is necessary to carry out fine screening to identify individuals carrying traits of interest.
This study was carried out to quantify phenotypic variability for resistance to cold-induced sweetening, an important processing trait.
Five families were evaluated for potato chip (crisp) color following cold storage of tubers harvested from four greenhouse trials and one field trial.
The families were generated by crossing a single diploid clone to five plants from one accession of the wild potato relative Solanum raphanifolium.
Analysis of variance revealed that resistance against cold-induced sweetening was dependent on family and trial.
This study underscores the importance of fine screening to select individuals in potato accessions for use in potato improvement.
