In variety development studies through hybridization, it is necessary to make hybridization with the parents suitable for the purpose, to obtain the tubers in seedling generation from the hybrid seeds obtained, and then to proceed to the clonal selection process. In this study, it was aimed to select clones suitable for tuber shape, earliness, table and industrial use in different locations in the first clonal generation stage from the variation created by hybridization between some commercially registered potato varieties, local potato varieties and some clones with superior characteristics. The study was conducted with 3316 clones in Artova and Kazova districts in Tokat province in Turkey. In this year, which was the first clonal selection stage, besides phenotypic characteristics such as breeder's preference, maturity group, tuber defects, skin roughness, skin and tuber flesh color, characteristics such as the number of tubers per hill, tuber yield per hill, average tuber weight, depth of lateral (eye) and apical buds were examined and data on clones belonging to each hybrid family were obtained. Thus, it was decided to proceed to the next selection stage with 918 clones selected due to their compliance with the criteria determined in the first clonal generation stage.
One of the most important problems in the cultivation of potato plants is their susceptibility to diseases. There are many disease agents that cause significant loss in yield and limit cultivation. One of these agents is Alternaria solani (Ell. and G. Martin) Sor., a facultative saprophytic fungus. The pathogen fungus causes early blight disease in potatoes. In this study, which was carried out in the field and laboratory of the Central Black Sea Transition Zone Agricultural Research Institute in 2019, the reactions of 594 clones created by crosses between some commercially registered potato varieties, local potato varieties, and some clones with superior characteristics against A. solani were identified using the detached leaf method. In order to determine the disease reactions, 5 mm diameter fungus discs taken from the actively growing tips of the cultures of A. solani isolate under sterile conditions were placed on the leaflets in five replications, and only the PDA medium was placed on the leaflets used for control purposes. As a result of the research, of the clones belonging to the A3/15 x Bafana combination, 70 were immune, 2 were tolerant, 9 were susceptible, 18 were highly susceptible. 168 of the clones belonging to the Başçiftlik Beyazı x Lady Olympia combination were immune, 1 was resistant, 4 were tolerant, 5 were susceptible, 23 were highly susceptible. 209 of the clones belonging to T5/4 x Bafana combination were immune, 2 were tolerant, 7 were sensitive and 46 were highly susceptible. Thus, in order to contribute to the development of resistant varieties, the conditions of the breeding material were revealed and evaluated as selection criteria.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
