    Notes: Abstract The allele specificity of AFLP markers was assessed in five relatively unrelated potato genotypes. To this end, two diploid mapping populations of potato, F1SH × RH and F1AM × RH, were analysed using four and six AFLP primer combinations, respectively, recently applied to the analysis of the genetically well characterized backcross population BC_C × E. The AFLP profiles of the five parents revealed 733 AFLP markers and, when identical primer combinations were used, 131 comigrating AFLP markers were identified. After construction of five parental maps, the genomic positions of these comigrating AFLP markers were compared and 117 markers (89%) which targeted the same genomic region were assumed to be homologous. Of these putative homologues, 20 markers, each cloned from at least two genotypes, were sequenced and 19 sets of amplification products were shown to be nearly identical. The number of AFLP markers previously mapped in population BC_C × E ranged from three to eleven per chromosome, which allowed a reliable assessment of chromosome numbers from individual linkage groups obtained in populations F1SH × RH and F1AM × RH. The high incidence of corresponding AFLP alleles was confirmed by using an additional set of five primer combinations. The 733 AFLP markers localized provide a valuable reference collection for future mapping studies in potato. As a consequence AFLP analysis may replace more laborious locus-specific marker techniques.

    Notes: Summary In leek (Allium ampeloprasum L.) a cyclic system of somatic embryogenesis was developed. Somatic embryos used for cyclic embryogenesis were able to develop the same type of embryogenic callus as zygotic embryos in the primary cycle. For the first time a comparison of the efficiencies of both expiants was made. Ten families were investigated for somatic embryogenesis. There was a genetic relationship with respect to somatic embryo production between the reciprocal crosses. From each family one genotype was selected for investigating cyclic somatic embryogenesis. Different levels of somatic embryo production were found between the expiants of zygotic and somatic embryos. The two best genotypes, 92.001-03 and 92.002-33 produced twice as many somatic embryos as the overall average. On average, 56% of the somatic embryos finally developed into greenhouse plantlets.

    Notes: Abstract The utility of two pollen genetic markers for estimating the extent of meiotic recombination between the centromere and a marker gene was tested in 2n pollen of diploid potato clones. One of these markers was the distal locus amylose-free (amf) on chromosome 8 and the other was the isozyme locus alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh-1) on chromosome 4. In the case of the amf locus, the gene-centromere distance was estimated in a normal synaptic and a desynaptic genotype. In both cases the genetic analysis was confined to: (1) a direct estimation of the phenotypic (blue vs red) segregation ratios in FDR (first-division restitution) 2n pollen and (2) a classification of the 4x progeny from 4x (nulliplex amf) × 2x (Amf/amf) crosses into duplex, simplex and nulliplex classes. The recombination frequency between the centromere and the amf locus in the normal synaptic genotype B92-7015-4 corresponded to a gene-centromere distance of 48.8 cM, whereas this distance amounted to 13.3 cM in the desynaptic genotype RS93-8025–1. Hence desynapsis reduced crossing-over by 73%. The observed genetic distance of 48.8 cM in the normal synaptic clone, B92-7015–4, is the highest gene-centromere distance reported so far in potato and this could be explained on the assumption of absolute chiasma interference. For the Adh-1 locus, it was found that heterozygous 2n pollen grains could be detected in pollen samples of the diploid clones, because of the occurrence of a heterodimeric band of the isozyme. Unlike the amf locus, the gene-centromere distance for the Adh-1 locus was estimated only on the basis of the duplex, simplex and nulliplex classes in the progenies from 4x (nulliplex Adh-1 2 ) × B92-7015–4 (Adh-1 1 /Adh-1 2 ) crosses and was found to be 19.4 cM. Because the accurate positions of centromeres in relation to other loci are not available in the existing genetic maps of potato, which are saturated with molecular markers, half-tetrad analysis is a promising additional approach to the basic genetics of this crop.

    Notes: Summary Using different genotypes of tomato and diploid potato, possessing alien selectable markers as well as endogenous markers, very high frequencies of protoplast fusion hybrids were obtained. One endogenous genetic marker, the amylose-free (amf) mutant of potato, was helpful not only for the confirmation of fusion products but also for the study of genetic complementation and the segregation of amylose-free starch in microspores. Cytological analysis of the fusion hybrids indicated that except for one which was hexaploid, all of them had a perfectly balanced chromosome number of allotetraploid constitution (2n = 4x = 48). Despite normal chromosome pairing and a diploid behaviour, the microspores in some of the fusion hybrids segregated for the recessive amf-locus. This anomalous segregation of a recessive character in these hybrids was shown not to be due to chromosome elimination or to the absence of the wild-type tomato Amf gene. Although all fusion hybrids were totally sterile, the hexaploid produced stainable pollen and berries with badly developed seeds. Embryo rescue has so far failed to produce backcross progeny.

    Notes: Abstract A gene-dosage population was obtained by crossing two genotypes that were duplex for the GBSS allele. Nulliplex, simplex, duplex or triplex/quadruplex plants could be identified by monitoring the segregation of red and blue microspores after staining with iodine. GBSS activity was significantly different for all groups and showed an almost linear dosage effect for the wildtype GBSS gene. A dosage effect was found for amylose content that was not linear. The amylose content was similar for both the duplex and triplex/quadruplex group. Within the simplex group, differences in amylose content were found, which might be due to a different genetic background. There was no linear correlation between GBSS activity and amylose content. A certain level of GBSS activity led to a maximum amount of amylose, and further increase in GBSS activity did not result in a further increase in amylose content. The presence of one or more wildtype GBSS allele(s), and therefore the presence of amylose in the starch granules, had a great influence on the physico-chemical properties of the starch suspensions.

    Notes: Abstract In the course of improving diploid potato genotypes for transformation ability, selection for specific components affecting regeneration and transformation was carried out. From a segregating population between two good regenerating clones a selection was made to yield an optimal well-transforming and fertile genotype J92-6400-A16. This plant yielded predominantly diploid transformants and was heterozygous for the gene R1, conferring resistance to Phytophthora infestans. The speed of, and competence for, regeneration and transformation on both sides of the stem explant were improved. A competence factor for tranformation was found to be linked with the R1 locus and a molecular marker on chromosome 5. The male fertility of transformants was frequently decreased to a great extent, whereas female fertility was not so markedly affected.

    Notes: Abstract  Due to the complexity of tetrasomic inheritance, mapping studies in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) are generally conducted at the diploid level. In the present study we tested the feasibility of Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA) using a tetraploid offspring for the identification of AFLP markers linked to the R2 allele, which confers race-specific resistance to Phytophthora infestans. Eleven bulk-specific AFLP markers, detected in fingerprints of 205 AFLP primer combinations, could be mapped in a linkage group encompassing the R2 locus. The efficiency of BSA at the tetraploid level, determined by the frequency of single-dose restriction fragments (SDRF), was much higher than expected on the basis of overall genetic dissimilarity between the parental clones. The fortuitous detection of AFLPs with linkage to the R2 allele is explained on the basis of specific genetic dissimilarity between cultivated potato and the chromosomal segment introgressed from S. demissum carrying the resistant R2 allele. AFLP markers common to those with linkage to R2 were visually recognized by their electrophoretic mobility in the AFLP fingerprint in a parental clone of a reference mapping population. Using these common AFLP markers we anchored the linkage group comprising the R2 allele to potato chromosome 4.

    Notes: Abstract In potato, 11 resistance alleles (R1–R11) are known which confer race-specific resistance to the fungus Phytophthora infestans. R1 has been mapped previously to potato chromosome V and R3 to chromosome XI. Here we report on the localization of the R6 and R7 alleles on the genetic map of potato. Differential resistant strains of tetraploid Solanum tuberosum, clones MaR6 and MaR7, were used as parental plants for the parthenogenetic induction and selection of diploid genotypes containing the R6 or the R7 resistance allele to P. infestans. One resistant dihaploid from MaR7 could be used directly as a parent to produce diploid F1 progeny suitable for phenotypic and RFLP analysis. MaR6 did not produce useful dihaploids directly. After crossing MaR6 with a tetraploid susceptible genotype, resistant F1 clones were selected. The resistant genotypes were then used as parents for the induction of dihaploids. Six dihaploids bearing R6 were identified that could be crossed with a diploid susceptible genotype. Two diploid F1 populations, segregating for R6 and R7, respectively, were analysed with RFLP markers known to be linked with previously identified R genes. Markers linked with R3 were found also to be linked with R6 and R7. The resistance alleles R6 and R7 mapped to a similar distal position on chromosome XI as the R3 allele.

    Notes: Summary We transformed three potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes by using A. rhizogenes or a mixture of A. rhizogenes and A. tumefaciens. Inoculations of potato stem segments were performed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes AM8703 containing two independent plasmids: the wild-type Ri-plasmid, pRI1855, and the binary vector plasmid, pBI121. In mixed inoculation experiments, Agrobacterium rhizogenes LBA1334 (pRI1855) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens AM8706 containing the disarmed Ti-plasmid (pAL4404) and the binary vector plasmid (pBI121) were mixed in a 1∶1 ratio. The T-DNA of the binary vector plasmid pBI121 contained two marker genes encoding neomycin phosphotransferase, which confers resistance to kanamycin, and β-glucuronidase. Both transformation procedures gave rise to hairy roots on potato stem segments within 2 weeks. With both procedures it was possible to obtain transformed hairy roots, able to grow on kanamycin and possessing β-glucuronidase activity, without selection pressure. The efficiency of the A. rhizogenes AM8703 transformation, however, was much higher than that of the “mixed” transformation. Up to 60% of the hairy roots resulting from the former transformation method were kanamycin resistant and possessed β-glucuronidase activity. There was no correlation between the height of the kanamycin resistance and that of the β-glucuronidase activity in a root clone. Hairy roots obtained from a diploid potato genotype turned out to be diploid in 80% of the cases. Transformed potato plants were recovered from Agrobacterium rhizogenes AM8703-induced hairy roots.
