6. Introduction:-
Potato was introduced into India by portugese in 17th century.
It was originated from wild diploid species solanum leptophytes.
It is the 4th most grown crop in INDIA.
WILD SPECIES:-
 Mainly there are 3 wild species :
solanum sparsipilum, solanum acaule, solanum megistacrolobum.
 The tetraploid species solanum acaule contributed to frost
resistance.

7. Distribution:-
 The global distribution is potato area is described using country level
statistics.
 The major peak is between 45 degree north and 57 degree north in
temperate climate where potato is a summer crop.
 The other peak is between 23 degree north and 34 degree north
where potato is a north crop.
 Around 25 % of the global potato area is in the high lands(above
1000m)

9.  Potato is a branched, erect, spreading herb .
 Growing 0.5-1m height .
 The stem is generally solid or hollow.
 Leaves are compound, pinnate, 10-20 cm long alternatively arranged.
 Inflorescence is a MONOCHASIAL CYME.
 Flower vary in color from white to creamy.
 Flowers are hermaphroditic, actinomorphic, regular, pedicel led,
bracteates.
 Fruit is globular or oval berry with numerous small seeds.
 Potato fruit is also called as potato ball or seed apple.
BOTANY

10. BREEDING METHODS
1. INTRODUCTION:-
Introduction of plants into a new area or region where they were not being grown before.
 Earlier varieties (i)Crigas Defence
(ii)Up-To-Date
 Secondary introduction-Hybrid DN 45
KATAHADIN×PRESIDENT
 Kufri-kisan is a multi-cross variety.
2. CLONAL SELECTION:-
It is a procedure of selection superior clones from the mixed population of asexually
propagated crops such as sugarcane , potato etc.
 kufri red from Darjeeling and red round K-1241 is selection from Phulwa.

11. 3. HYBRIDIZATION & SELECTION
 Crossing of two genetically dissimilar plants is known as hybridization.
" When genetic variability is not present in the crop , hybridization may be followed to generate the
variability which is required for improvement of any crop”
Example - Kufri kundan - selection from Ekishrazan× Katahdin
Kufrijyothi selection from A3069×A2814
4.HETEROSIS BREEDING
 Superior of F1 hybrid over either of the parent.
 It is observed for earliness tuber size & tuber weight
 Pollen sterility is common
 Inbreeding depression is more
 Seed set is poor
 Not exploited

5. BACKCROSS METHOD:-
 In this method hybridization is done between cultivated and wild or semicultivated
species with the aim of transferring specific characters like resistance to diseases and
pests.
 It is followed by repeated backcrossing keeping cultivated type as recurrent parent.
6.MUTATION BREEDING:-
 Mutation breeding is a resolute application of mutations to develop the desired
characteristics in crops to get increased yield.
 Since the first release of mutant potato cultivar in Belgium in 1968.
 Six mutated cultivars have been registered from all over the world.

16.  CPRI (Central potato research institute, Shimla)released & developed total 50
high yielding varieties.
 Out of these varieties 43 were table purpose 6 were for processing
purposes & 1 for heat tolerant .
 Transgenic potato developed for late blight resistance, reduced cold injury &
virus resistance
 A unique parental line having extreme resistance to PVY in Triplex state
was developed & registered with NBPGR.
 To extend potato cultivation in non-traditional areas there is need to develop
heat tolerant genotypes.
 Varieties for improved processing attributes.
