American Potato Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A joint Chilean, United States potato (Solanum sect.Petota) germplasm collecting expedition was conducted in Chile between January 21–March 30, 1989. The trip resulted in collections ofSolanum brevidens (50 accessions),S. etuberosum (28 accessions),S. maglia (3 accessions) and indigenous primitive landraces ofS. tuberosum (24 accessions). Comments are presented on the habitats, distribution, and potential and realized breeding value of these species.
