Accomplishments

Impacts

1. The North Central (NC) Regional Potato Variety Trial, with a focus of freshmarket (tablestock) materials, evaluated 29 selections and industry standards across five locations, providing adaptation and production information for NC breeders, other researchers, and producers.
2. A diploid potato breeding initiative coordinated by NC researchers, as a concerted effort between public and private research community memebers in North America, has been initiated with outcomes to include genetic gain from inbred lines, ease of seed propagation versus constraints with vegetative propagation, and the opportunity to breed for and fix traits under recessive genetic control.
