Crossing Over First Large Scale Hybrid Seed Potatoes Showing Promise Solynta, a dutch potato breeding company, started the development of a hybrid potato about 10 years ago. in 2015, the first parental lines were crossed in such a way that a hybrid potato was created. in cooperation with the royal wilhelmina polder company (kmwp), the first large plot was planted in 2016. Only 25 grams of seed is required for one hectare of potatoes (as opposed to 2000 kilos of seed potatoes), and the hybrid seed does not carry diseases and can be stored for a long period. “hybrid potatoes could revolutionise the potato sector, particularly in low and middle income countries,” says paul struik, project leader of potarei and.

Crossing Over First Large Scale Hybrid Seed Potatoes Showing Promise Hybrid potato seeds aren't a panacea. young plants grow more quickly and vigorously from tubers than from seeds, putting seeds at a disadvantage in some climates. and depending on how complete the inbreeding, hybrid potatoes could have less uniformly shaped tubers than those of traditional plants, a problem for farmers who supply food. In the potato crop. researchers from solynta and wageningen university and research (wur) recently published a scientific review in the journal plants titled “converting hybrid potato breeding science into practice“. the research team provides an overview of the latest and most relevant research on diploid hybrid potatoes. Figure 1. main components of a hybrid breeding potato breeding program. from development of inbred lines to the release of a commercial product. in the first step inbred lines are developed, then hybrids are created, to arrive at a markable hybrid. these products are registered as varieties. The canon of potato science: 29. true potato seed (tps) – potato research; hilling of transplanted seedlings from novel hybrid true potato seeds… – springer; genetic and environmental factors contributing to… – springer; true potato seed: achievements and opportunities – researchgate; true potato seed – taylor & francis online.

Conversion of potato from a tetraploid, heterozygous, vegetatively propagated crop to a diploid f1 hybrid, propagated via botanical seed, would constitute a considerable advance for global agriculture, but faces multiple challenges. one such challenge is the difficulty in inbreeding potato, which involves purging deleterious alleles from its genome. this commentary discusses possible reasons. Pipeline for genome design in potato hybrid breeding. we developed a pipeline to carry out potato hybrid breeding by genome design (figure 1). this pipeline involved four steps, with the first being to select or create, as starting materials, self compatible diploid clones with low genomic heterozygosity.
