The wild potato species Solanum acaule (acl) was used as a model of a disomic tetraploid Solanum species to develop systematic methods of germplasm enhancement for disomic tetraploid species. The objective was to develop a genetically efficient method to overcome the inherent technical problems encountered in the utilization of disomic tetraploid wild species. Accessions of acl were selected from CIP's wild germplasm collection and from the collection of University of Birmingham, with emphasis on genetic attributes such as PLRV resistance and (or) PSTV resistance. Four methods were tested: (i) triploids from crosses between 4x acl × 2x potato were selected for 2n gametes production and were crossed to tetraploids or to diploids with 2n egg production; (ii) axillary buds of triploid hybrids were treated with colchicine to double chromosome numbers to generate hexaploids; (iii) in vitro chromosome doubling to obtain hexaploids from triploid hybrids; and furthermore (iv) the selected acl clones were directly crossed to tetraploid potatoes followed by a combination of second compatible pollinations with IvP 35 and subsequent embryo rescue. The combination of second compatible pollination and embryo rescue was found to be the most genetically efficient method for the utilization of the valuable genetic attributes of acl.Key words: inter-EBN crosses, ploidy manipulation, polyploid, potato breeding, wild species

Species of the genus Solanum usually possess pedicels with a floral abscission zone, which is designated the "articulation" or "joint." A distinct group of tuber-bearing wild potatoes, series Acaulia, is characterized by an indistinct or completely absent articulation. The anatomy of pedicels without articulation is compared with that of articulated pedicels. No abscission zone is observed in pedicels without an articulation, a situation found in the tetraploids Solanum acaule Bitter ssp. acaule and S. acaule ssp. punae (Juz.) Hawkes & Hjert. The hexaploids Solanum albicans (Ochoa) Ochoa and S. acaule ssp. palmirense Kardolus of series Acaulia have an anatomically incompletely differentiated abscission zone. Solanum acaule ssp. aemulans (Bitter & Wittm.) Hawkes & Hjert. (2n = 48) has articulated pedicels and a floral abscission zone. The absence of a floral abscission zone is presumably a recessive trait. The special features of pedicel articulation in series Acaulia are discussed in relation to the "jointless" mutations in tomato. The position of the articulation on the pedicel is concluded to be less significant for taxonomy than generally considered.Key words: Solanaceae, Solanum acaule, anatomy, "jointless" mutation, pedicel articulation, taxonomy.

Se evaluó la reacción de plántulas de 67 entradas de especies silvestres de Solanum a los virus: enrollamiento de la hoja (PLRV), virus Y de la Papa (PVY), virus X de la Papa (PVX), virus S de la Papa (PVS), virus Latente de los Andes (APLV), virus Moteado Andino (APMV) y al viroide del Tubérculo Ahusado (PSTVd). Se probaron: 33 entradas de Solanum acaule, 9 de S. bukasovii, 5 de S. colombianum, 2 de S. chomatofilum, 1 de S. coelestispetalum, 2 de S. marinasense, 2 de S. raphanifolium, 1 de S. tundalomense y 12 entradas no identificadas. Los estudios se realizaron entre 1980-1984 en las instalaciones del Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP), La Molina, Lima-Perú. Por las reacciones observadas se establecieron tres categorías o tipos de reacción: susceptibilidad, tolerancia y alta resistencia. S. acaule resultó ser altamente resistente para PLRV, PVY (inoculación mecánica de jugo infeccioso), PVX y PVS. Para APLV, la entrada OCH-13389 (espécimen no identificado) se mostró con alta resistencia.

To investigate the molecular bases of postzygotic hybridization barriers in tuber-bearing Solanums, the wild species Solanum commersonii Dunal ex Poir. (cmm, 2n = 2x = 24, 1EBN) and Solanum acaule Bitter (acl, 2n = 4x = 48, 2EBN) were crossed in intra- and interspecific genotypic combinations, and the transcriptome of immature seeds was analyzed by using the cDNA-AFLP technique. From a total of 423 analyzed cDNA fragments, 107 (25.3%) were differentially regulated in the compatible (acl × acl and cmm × cmm) versus incompatible (acl × cmm) crosses. DNA sequence data were obtained from 21 fragments and RT–PCR analyses were carried out with five fragments to validate the cDNA-AFLP differential pattern. Sequence analysis suggested a possible role for the differentially expressed sequences in cytokinesis, cell cycle, secondary and hormonal metabolism, biodegradation, and transport. In situ hybridization experiments with fragments encoding an ubiquitin-fold modifier 1 precursor and a possible vesicle transport protein revealed expression of these genes in the embryo and endosperm. The results suggest that the collapse of the embryo and endosperm in incompatible crosses may be related to alterations in cell cycle and cytokinesis.
