Application of molecular markers to characterize potato plants derived from anther culture and protoplast fusion
Cultivated potato is an autotetraploid (2n=4x=48), i.e., it has four complete sets of chromosomes. Tetraploids can harbor considerable heterozygosity (Jacobs, 1985) since there are potentially four possible alleles per locus. Reducing the ploidy level of potato from the tetraploid to the dihaploid l...
