摘要

True-seed potato has been the holy grail of potato breeding for decades;genetic improvement,notably resistance breeding,has lagged behind in this vegetatively propagated,polyploid staple crop.A recent study by Zhang et al.in Cell shows how genomics can greatly expedite the transition from tuber to seed crop and boost yields by growing F1 hybrids of custom-made inbred lines developed from plant genetic resources.
