Genetic peculiarities of wild allotetraploid potato (Solanum) species as the object of breeding

Abstract

The available information about the peculiarities of genomes of wild allotetrapoloid potato species, their origin and evolution have been analysed in the review. There were examined the problems of hybridization between wild allotetraploid species and cultivated potato and methods of introgression into breeding of their valuable germplasm. Special attention was attended to the phenomenon of production of diploid hybrids in crosses between allotetraploid species and S. tuberosum diploid clones, its significance for potato genetics and breeding. The questions on the origin of allotetraploid species that need further investigation have been discussed.
