PROCESSES FOR PRODUCTION OF LARGE QUANTITIES OF UNIFORM POTATO TUBERS FROM TRUE SEEDS

摘要

Processes for the production of large quantities of diploid F1 Solanum potato tubers that are uniform in shape are provided. Diploid F1 hybrid plants are produced from true seeds. The tubers produced by the diploid F1 hybrid plants are either harvested for consumption, processing or extraction, or for production of seedling tubers which are then planted to produce tubers for consumption, processing or extraction. Also provided are diploid F1 hybrid seeds and plants that produce large quantities of tubers that are uniform in shape and produce large quantities of sprouts per tuber when used as seedling tubers.
