Rcb. Hutten et al., ANALYSIS OF DIHAPLOID INDUCTION AND PRODUCTION ABILITY AND SEED PARENT X POLLINATOR INTERACTION IN POTATO, Euphytica, 72(1-2), 1993, pp. 61-64
The production of dihaploids is the first step in a potato breeding pr
ogram at the diploid level. Dihaploid induction ability, dihaploid pro
duction ability and seed parent x pollinator interaction were analyzed
for 28 x 3, seed parent x pollinator combinations. This is the first
report on significant interaction between seed parents and pollinators
. Despite this interaction, IVP 101 had a significantly higher dihaplo
id induction ability than the widely used pollinators IVP 35 and IVP 4
8. Previous findings on significant differences in dihaploid productio
n ability between seed parents were clearly confirmed.
