Accomplishments
Accomplishments
Breeding: Tools for phenotyping tuber shape have been developed; Scab resistance and PVY resistance is being introgressed into advanced breeding lines. Software for genomic selection has been released, using potato as a case study.
Genome sequencing: research has been conducted to create a pan genome based upon 6 cultivars from the US and Europe; genome sequencing was used to look at relationships and diversity of the cultivated potato species. Publication is expected in January 2022.
Diploid potato breeding: the genetics of self-compatibility is being studied; EBN1 wild species are being accessed using bridge crossing; dihaploids are being extracted by all the breeding programs to establish a diploid cultivated gene pool.
Gene editing: potatoes have been gene edited to create self-compatible lines, PPO silenced lines as well as late blight resistance.
Multi-institution grants have been obtained as well as publications.
Outreach
The Northern Plains Potato Growers Association Research Reporting Conference was held virtually February 16, 2021. Susie Thompson presented ‘Potato Improvement and Cultivar Development for North Dakota and the Northern Plains‘and Laura Shannon ‘Program Through Breeding for Resistance and Cultural Practices’.

The Northern Plains Potato Growers Association held its annual Field Day on August 26, 2021, in person at Larimore, Inkster and Hoople, ND. Laura Shannon (UMN) and Susie Thompson (NDSU) provided presentations ‘U of M Update‘and ‘NDSU Potato Breeding Trials‘, respectively. Posters were exhibited by Xiaoxi Meng and graduate students from both programs at the Hoople site.
The Minnesota Area II Research Meeting was held as a hybrid on November 18, 2021. Breeding program updates were provided by Laura Shannon (UMN) and Susie Thompson (NDSU).
