“…Our phenotyping approach, based on pollen microscopy, heavily relies on the premise that pollen size correlates with pollen ploidy. This correlation has been consistently reported across various species (Ramsey and Schemske 1998 ), including in potato (Mok and Peloquin 1975a , b ; Ramanna 1979 ; Iwanaga and Peloquin 1982 ; Dongyu et al 1995 ) where it is routinely used by breeders for designing interploidy crosses (Zimnoch-Guzowska and Flis 2021 ). However, it is essential to acknowledge that factors beyond ploidy may influence pollen size.…”

“…Unreduced gametes have been successfully used in potato breeding program to introduce genes conferring resistance to various pathogens from diploid wild relatives of potato to tetraploid landraces and cultivars (Ortiz et al 1994 ; Capo et al 2002 ; Zimnoch-Guzowska and Flis 2021 ). An interploidy breeding scheme combining the ease of diploid breeding and the heterozygosity of tetraploids was proposed 60 years ago (Chase 1963 ; Hutten et al 1994 ).…”

“…Likewise, analysis of the genetic control of unreduced pollen formation during cycles of recurrent selection and in diallel crosses suggested a more complex polygenic inheritance (Ortiz and Peloquin 1992 ; Dongyu et al 1995 ). While unreduced gametes have been successfully used to introgress resistance genes from diploid wild relatives of potato to tetraploid cultivars (Ortiz et al 1994 ; Capo et al 2002 ; Zimnoch-Guzowska and Flis 2021 ), genetic loci involved in their production have never been identified. Meanwhile, the study of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants uncovered several meiotic pathways regulating unreduced gamete formation (De Storme and Geelen 2013 ).…”

Key message Multiple QTLs control unreduced pollen production in potato. Two major-effect QTLs co-locate with mutant alleles of genes with homology to AtJAS, a known regulator of meiotic spindle orientation. Abstract In diploid potato the production of unreduced gametes with a diploid (2n) rather than a haploid (n) number of chromosomes has been widely reported. Besides their evolutionary important role in sexual polyploidisation, unreduced gametes also have a practical value for potato breeding as a bridge between diploid and tetraploid germplasm. Although early articles argued for a monogenic recessive inheritance, the genetic basis of unreduced pollen production in potato has remained elusive. Here, three diploid full-sib populations were genotyped with an amplicon sequencing approach and phenotyped for unreduced pollen production across two growing seasons. We identified two minor-effect and three major-effect QTLs regulating this trait. The two QTLs with the largest effect displayed a recessive inheritance and an additive interaction. Both QTLs co-localised with genes encoding for putative AtJAS homologs, a key regulator of meiosis II spindle orientation in Arabidopsis thaliana. The function of these candidate genes is consistent with the cytological phenotype of mis-oriented metaphase II plates observed in the parental clones. The alleles associated with elevated levels of unreduced pollen showed deleterious mutation events: an exonic transposon insert causing a premature stop, and an amino acid change within a highly conserved domain. Taken together, our findings shed light on the natural variation underlying unreduced pollen production in potato and will facilitate interploidy breeding by enabling marker-assisted selection for this trait.

“…In addition to late blight research and control of the disease using fungicides, potato breeding programs continuously developed new potato cultivars with high resistance to late blight [ 4 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Plant resistance is divided into two types: vertical resistance (race-specific) and horizontal (race-non-specific, partial resistance) [ 20 ].…”

Potato production worldwide is threatened by late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary. Highly resistant potato cultivars were developed in breeding programs, using resistance gene pyramiding methods. In Sárpo Mira potatoes, five resistance genes (R3a, R3b, R4, Rpi-Smira1, and Rpi-Smira2/R8) are reported, with the latter gene assumed to be the major contributor. To study the level of late blight resistance conferred by the Rpi-Smira2/R8 gene, potato genotypes with only the Rpi-Smira2/R8 gene were selected from progeny population in which susceptible cultivars were crossed with Sárpo Mira. Ten R8 potato genotypes were obtained using stepwise marker-assisted selection, and agroinfiltration of the avirulence effector gene Avr4. Nine of these R8 genotypes were infected with both Slovenian P. infestans isolates and aggressive foreign isolates. All the progeny R8 genotypes are resistant to the Slovenian P. infestans isolate 02_07, and several show milder late blight symptoms than the corresponding susceptible parent after inoculation with other isolates. When inoculated with foreign P. infestans isolates, the genotype C571 shows intermediate resistance, similar to that of Sárpo Mira. These results suggest that Rpi-Smira2/R8 contributes to late blight resistance, although this resistance is not guaranteed solely by the presence of the R8 in the genome.

Background. Late blight (agent: Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary) is one of the most destructive diseases for potato. The climate conditions in the northwest of Russia are very favorable for annual late blight infestation. Spreading of the pathogen leads to significant harvest losses. A promising breeding strategy is to expand the genetic diversity of resistance sources.Materials and methods. Resistance of experimental hybrid clones to late blight, their ability to form tubers under long daylight conditions, and a number of agronomic traits were studied using standard methods.Results. Long-term evaluation data were obtained for original interspecies potato hybrids concerning their resistance to late blight. The hybrids were also assessed for their yield and agronomic tuber characteristics. Some of the produced interspecies hybrids demonstrated field resistance to late blight, high tuber yield, and good agronomic traits. Clones derived from some cross combinations significantly exceeded both parents in tuber yield per plant and tuber size.Conclusions. Crosses between potato cultivars and various late blight resistance sources made it possible to combine in hybrid clones the genes of wild and cultivated Andean species and Solanum tuberosum L. with different pedigrees. Productive hybrid clones with resistance to late blight and good agronomic characteristics promise to become useful material for potato breeding programs.
