De Novo Domestication Concept for Potato Germplasm Enhancement

Wild potato germplasm serves as a natural pool of agronomically valuable traits for breeding, such resistance to pathogens and abiotic stresses, quality, consumer-oriented traits. The introgression these into cultivated is hampered by the different kinds incompatibility linkages between desirable undesirable features in hybrid progeny. trait donor improvement via correction negative characteristics prior hybridization domestic can be solution linkage drag problem. de novo domestication concept developing new crops using gene editing technologies was previously proposed performed tomato physalis. In this review, we collected information about properties wild species developed strategy enhancement approach. possible modifications several candidate genes responsible potato, including high steroidal glycoalkaloid content, self-incompatibility, tuberization under short day conditions, long stolons are proposed. current challenges future prospects implementing discussed.
