“…In potato four monogenic recessive traits have so far been localized by means of trisomic analysis : a (albinism), v (virescens), ym (yellow margin) and tp (topiary) marking the chromosomes 3 and 12 (Lam & Erickson, 1971 ;Hermsen et al ., 1973 ;Wagenvoort, 1982Wagenvoort, , 1988 . Linkage analyses have yielded eight small linkage groups : Nx(tbr), Nx (chc), Ny(chc), Na(tbr) and Nc(tbr), all dominant genes for hypersensitive resistance to potato viruses X, Y, A and C respectively (Cockerham, 1970) ; B, I, F, Ow and Pf, all dominant genes affecting anthocyanin distribution (Dodds & Long, 1956 ;De Jonge & Rowe, 1972 ;De Jong, 1987) ; dr (droopy) and S (gametophytic incompatibility) (Simmonds, 1966) ; v (virescens) and t (S-bearing translocation) ; Ld (pollen lobedness) and Tr (tetrad sterility) (Abdalla & Hermsen, 1971) ; Prx-2 and Prx-3 (Quiros & McHale, 1985) ; Idh-1 and Sdh-1 and 6Pgdh-3 and Dia-1 (Douches & Quiros, 1988b) .…”
