The long history of potato breeding includes the numerous introgressions of resistance genes from many wild species of South and Central America as well as from cultivated species into the breeding genepool. Most R genes belong to the NLR family with nucleotide-binding site–leucine-rich repeat. The aim of this research concerns an evaluation of NLR genes expression in transcriptomes of three potato cultivars (Evraziya, Siverskij, Sudarynya), which combine genetic material from wild and cultivated potato species, and each bears intragenic markers of RB/Rpi-blb1/Rpi-sto1 genes conferring broad-range resistance to late blight. The transcriptomes of the cultivars were compared before and 24 h after the Phytophthora infestans inoculation. The induction of RB/Rpi-blb1/Rpi-sto1 transcript after 24 h of inoculation was detected in the resistant cultivars Siverskij and Sudarynya but not in susceptible cv. Evraziya. This demonstrates the importance of transcriptomic assay for understanding the results of marker-assisted selection and phenotyping. Interestingly, assembling the transcriptomes de novo and analysis with NLR-parser tool revealed significant fractions of novel NLR genes with no homology to the reference genome (from 103 (cv. Siverskij) to 160 (S. stoloniferum, 30514/15). Comparison of novel NLRs demonstrated a relatively small intersection between the genotypes that coincided with their complex pedigrees with several interspecific hybridization events. These novel NLRs may facilitate the discovery of new efficient R genes.

Do So

It has been proposed that maximizing heterosis for yield in potato may be achieved by maximizing heterozygosity and associated intra and interlocus interactions. Tetraploids offer more opportunities to create such interactions than diploids hence the general observations that tetraploids are higher yielding than diploids. Consequently, efforts have been made to increase heterozygosity in tetraploids by introgressing allelic diversity from other Solanum species into cultivated potato. However, conventional potato breeding is difficult because the cultivated potato is an autotetraploid with tetrasomic inheritance and it comprises highly heterozygous individuals which suffer inbreeding depression upon selfing; breeding at the tetraploid level is slow and less efficient than at diploid level. At the diploid level, it is possible to breed for and fix traits under recessive genetic control; it is nearly impossible to do so at the tetraploid level. There is also rapid response to selection due to greater variation in diploids than tetraploids. Consequently, there have been efforts to convert potato from an asexually propagated tetraploid crop into an inbred seed-propagated diploid; this is by production of inbred lines through selfing of the tetraploids to assemble desirable combinations of genes in the inbreds. These efforts are at the experimental stages and a lot of research needs to be done before they are confirmed. Because currently there is little experimental evidence to support superiority of the inbred seed-propagated diploid strategy, it appears the theory that heterosis for yield in potato may be achieved by maximizing heterozygosity and associated intra and interlocus interactions remain unchallenged; these interactions are more in tetraplods than in diploids. This paper therefore looks at genetic basis of yield heterosis in cultivated potato and the role of heterozygosity and ploidy level in production of hybrid potatoes.

AbstractThe breadth of resistance to populations of the potato cyst nematodes, Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis, which differed both in virulence level and country of origin, was investigated in 15 wild Solanum species. A range of responses to the populations was noted, with significant interactions observed between the potato genotypes and Globodera populations assayed. Of the 15 wild Solanum species, seven appeared to be potentially valuable sources of wide spectrum resistance with low multiplication rates with all populations recorded. The inclusion of these species into a potato breeding programme is justified by this study.

Specific Influence

For tuber-bearing Solanum species, six monogenic recessive synaptic mutants, designated sy-1, sy-2, sy-3, sy-4, ds, and dsc have been reported in the literature. In the present investigation no indication for the existence of the mutant sy-1, affecting megasporogenesis only, was found. The mutant ds was confirmed to display typical desynaptic behaviour in microsporogenesis and shown to similarly affect megasporogenesis. It furthermore proved to be allelic to the mutants sy-3 and dsc. It is proposed that the mutants sy-3, ds, and dsc be uniformly designated ds-1, whereas the remaining mutants sy-2 and sy-4 (possibly identical) may be designated simply as synaptic mutant until their actual identity has been established. The observed F1 segregations generally support monogenic recessive inheritance of ds-1. However, in one cross progeny the expected mutant phenotype was not clearly expressed in contrast with its reciprocal, which might indicate cross-specific influence of the cytoplasm on ds-1 expression. The potential value and limitations of desynaptic (ds-1ds-1) mutants for potato breeding and true potato seed production are discussed.Key words: Solanum, (de)synaptic mutants, microsporogenesis, megasporogenesis, 2n gametes.
