    Notes: Summary A number of previously selected hydroxyproline (hyp) resistant cell lines of a diploid potato (Solanum tuberosum L., clone H2578, 2n=2x=24) could be regenerated into plants which were further analysed. Hyp resistance, although lower than in the originally selected calli, was still present in regenerated shoots and in callus initiated from these shoots and it was not lost upon (mini)tuber propagation. Regenerated shoots showed a wide range of phenotypic variation. The chromosome number, analysed in 4 clones, appeared to be hypotetraploid (44 or 45). Tuber-propagated regenerants generally showed increased frost tolerance both at the plant and the cell level. In leaves this seemed to be associated with increased levels of both proline and total amino acid content. However, in callus only the total amino acid content but not proline was still elevated. In the wild type the frost tolerance of the tubers appeared to be lower than that of the leaves. Between tubers of wild type and the hyp resistant regenerants no differences in frost tolerance were found, although proline and total amino acid content tended to be higher in tubers from the regenerants.

    Notes: Summary The amylose-free (amf) potato mutant 86.040 has been characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Not only storage starch in tubers and metabolic starch in leaves but also starch in cells with specific functions, such as columella cells in the root cap and guard cells of stomata, was amylose-free. Doubled amf-clones of 86.040 flowered well, but the percentage of stainable pollen was low (8.2%). Therefore, they were used as female parent in crosses with diploid amylose-containing plants. Over 400 pollinations gave 13 berries, all dropping off prematurely; they contained 78 ovules with embryos at different developmental stages. Twenty F1 plants were obtained by embryo rescue, all having amylose starch. Three of them were characterized more extensively. They flowered well and pollen stainabilitity as well as seed set were high. Analysis of the F1 plants and of F1 × F1 progeny plants showed that the amf-character is monogenic and recessive. The locus involved was designated amf +and the mutated allele amf.

    Notes: Summary Using an amylose-free (amf)mutant of diploid potato (Solanum tuberosum), diploid and tetraploid clones with different genotypes at the amf-locus were produced. In order to make use of the diploid material in analytic breeding of amf-potatoes, clones were selected that produced a considerable frequencies of 2n-pollen and 2n-eggs. Successful attempts were made to select normal synaptic as well as desynaptic clones producing 2n-gametes. Based on the phenotype of starch in the microspores, tetraploid clones with nulliplex, simplex and duplex genotypes at the amf-locus were selected. Prospects of using this material in conventional as well as in analytic breeding of potato are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Rate and extent of spontaneous and induced chromosome loss have been determined at the callus level of somatic hybrids of mutants of Solanum tuberosum and Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. AEC (amino ethyl cystein) resistance in potato and Nitrate-Reductase deficiency in N. plumbaginifolia have been used as genetic markers and chromosome morphology as a cytological marker. In this combination, development of hybrid callus was late and slow. Only a limited number of non-regenerable hybrid calli have become available. Chromosome loss could clearly be established in these hybrids from loss of markers and from chromosome cytology. Loss of markers occurred independantly. The best conditions to induce loss of chromosomal material in donor cells by irradiation were found by cytological investigations. A very drastic reduction in chromosome transfer by fusion could be effected by irradiation of plant tissue and subsequent preparation of protoplasts after a few days. Following fusion, hybrid callus was recovered with the potato genome drastically reduced. The amount of loss was deduced from the presence of a few fragments in metaphase cells or from interphase nuclei after in situ hybridization with a repetitive potato DNA probe.

    Notes: Abstract Three amylose-free genetically modified potato clones were used both as male and female parents in a breeding program with non-GMO potato clones. Segregation data on the expression of the inserted antisense gene construct in tubers of progeny plants were in agreement with previous molecular analysis of the transgenic clones. The inheritance of the inserted genes was according to Mendelian segregation. Therefore, these clones can be very useful in a breeding program for large scale introduction of amylose free potato cultivars into agriculture. Because of varying number and expression levels of inserts in the GMO-clones, but also because of the varying strength of the endogenous GBSS-alleles of the non-GMO-clones, a segregation into a range of amylose contents occurred. The segregation of the starch colour after iodine staining of pollen of transgenic clones did not follow the obtained segregation in the progeny and was, therefore, not useful in predicting the breeding result.

    Notes: Summary A three step procedure for adventitious shoot regeneration on leaf explants of monoploid potato clone H7322 and a minituber induction procedure on stem segments have been described. Chromosome counts on 92 adventitious shoots showed that 85% of them had been polyploidized, i.e., 71% were diploid, 1% tetraploid, and 13% were mixoploid. Cytophotometric studies on nuclei of soil grown tubers of tetraploid cv Astarte, of 1x, 2x and 4x adventitious shoots of H7322, and of diploid H2578 showed in all cases polyploidization with prominent classes up to 8C and 16C. However, nuclei of pith cells of 5 weeks old minitubers which had developed on monoploid H7322 itself or on 1x adventitious shoots of H7322 showed predominantly 1C and 2C values. Pith cells of minitubers of monoploid H7322 were screened, after iodine staining, for the presence of variant cells containing reddish-brown staining (amylose-free) starch. In more than 75% of the investigated minitubers one or a few of such variant cells were found indicating that such a variation occurs in minitubers of monoploid potato and that this variant character is expressed in cells of vegetative storage organs like potato tubers.

    Notes: Summary Somatic hybrids of diploid amylose-free (amf) Solanum tuberosum and diploid S. brevidens were made by Poly-Ethylene-Glycol (PEG) or electrofusion methods. For the isolation of interspecific hybrids the use of selection markers (kanamycin and hygromycin resistance) was useful but not essential. In this 2x+2x interspecific combination 4x and 6x somatic hybrids were obtained. Seed set was the best in 4x×4x (S. tuberosum) backcrosses, but seed germination was the best in 6x×4x combinations, using in vitro germination of unripe seeds harvested 25 days after pollination. A high degree of pollen stainability (30–40%) was observed in 7 tetraploid hybrids and very low in all hexaploids. After iodine staining, the recessive amf marker was expressed by a red colour instead of blue, visible in starch-containing cells like columella cells of root tips, (micro)tubers or microspores. As expected, complementation was observed in starch-containing cells of the fusion hybrids. Segregation of the amf marker was clearly observed in microspores of 4x and 6x hybrids. Segregation ratios in the 4x hybrids showed variable recombination frequencies. In the backcross progeny of hexaploid F12-5 with a tetraploid amf mutant one amylose-free recombinant among 67 plants was found, indicating the occurrence of meiotic recombination in the megaspore mother cells.

    Notes: Abstract Fusion experiments were performed between diploid (2n = 2x = 24) or tetraploid (2n = 4x = 48) potato genotypes and four species of the Solanum nigrum complex, namely S. nigrum (2n = 6x = 72), S. villosum (2n = 4x = 48), S. chenopodioides (2n = 2x = 24) or S. americanum (2n = 2x = 24 and 2n = 6x = 72). All five accessions of the S. nigrum-species were successfully hybridized with at least one of the potato genotypes. Somatic combining abilities were influenced by the ploidy level as well as the genotype of the parental species. The use of kanamycin or hygromycin resistance as cell-selectable markersystem had no influence on somatic combining ability, but such markers can be useful to improve efficient selection of somatic hybrids in sufficient numbers. At least 20% of the hybrids of each successful combination performed well in vitro. However, only 60 genotypes out of 761 somatic hybrids were vigorous as well as flowering in the greenhouse. Analysis of the DNA content of somatic hybrids could be used as a criterion for the indirect selection in vitro of hybrids that were vigorous in the greenhouse. Flowering somatic hybrids of S. nigrum (+) 2x potato and S. americanum (+) 4x potato were selected with the aim of introgression of resistance traits after recurrent backcrossing with cultivated potato.

    Notes: Abstract For the selection of diploid (2n = 2x = 24) potato (Solanum tuberosum) genotypes that are useful for the molecular and genetic analysis of the phenomenon of gametophytic self-incompatibility, three different types of basic populations were investigated. These populations were derived from three primary dihaploid clones, G609, G254 and B16, which possessed the S-allele combinations S1S2, S1S3 and S3S4 respectively. In order to select highly vigorous, profusely flowering, fertile and tuberising progenies, three types of populations, derived from the above mentioned diploid genotypes, were screened for performance and classified for the expression of self-incompatibility. Although the selection for well defined S-genotypes was sometimes complicated due to the occurrence of pseudo-compatibility and of a self-compatibilising factor, the use of a combination of criteria, viz., Iso Electric Focusing (IEF), pollen tube growth in the styles and the extent of berry and seed set made the selection of sufficient representatives of all six types of S-heterozygotes (S1S2, S1S3, S1S4, S2S3, S2S4 and S3S4) possible. After evaluating the strength of the self-incompatibility reaction in these heterozygotes, those with high expression were selfed, and intercrossed within their S-allele incompatibility group through the method of counterfeit pollination. In these progenies, well-performing S-homozygotes (S1S1; S2S2; S3S3; S4S4) for all four S-alleles with high expression of self-incompatibility were selected. As a result, all possible S-homo- and heterozygous genotypes with a predictable type of self-incompatibility are available and maintained both vegetatively and as botanical seed. The development of this material has paved the way for more critical analysis of molecular factors involved in self-incompatibility in diploid potato.
