National Potato Germplasm Evaluation and Enhancement Report, 1995. Sixty-SixthAnnual Report by Cooperators

摘要

The USDA potato breeding program at Beltsville has four main objectives: (1) todevelop improved pest-resistant germplasm; (2) to develop improved germplasm for processing; (3) to enhance germplasm for specific characteristics relating to yield, environmental stress, human nutrition, and consumer acceptance; and (4) to develop statistical genetic models for some of the new breeding strategies.
