Cultivated potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are the 4th most important crop feeding the world. Therefore, yield is a crucial trait for potato breeding and germplasm enhancement. The analysis of phenotype data of potato plants enables the extraction of crucial phenotypic characters for potato yield...

Drought tolerance in potato (S.Tuberosum L) Can we learn from drought tolerance research in cereals?
The search for plant traits associated with drought tolerance for genetic improvement is an important issue in breeding acceleration programs. However, plant traits expression depends on the drought scenario, thus the investigation of this dependence is crucial for drought tolerant related traits...

Potato cybrids result from the fusion between cytoplasm and nuclear gene donors. Such genetic materials are an alternative means to broaden the breeding pool by non-sexual gene transfer. Tetrad pollen sterility provides also another source of male sterility with some potential for true potato see...

In potatoes and many other crops, drought is one of the most important environmental constraints leading to yield loss. Development of drought-tolerant cultivars is therefore required for maintaining yields under climate change conditions and for the extension of agriculture to sub-optimal croppi...

A methodology of participatory research was used to select, adapt, and test seedbed management technologies, aimed at protection tomato seedlings from whitefly-borne geminiviruses. Growers compared in their farms several combinations of covering nets and trays, with direct planting, which were im...
