TL;DR: This paper proposes to convert potato into a diploid inbred line–based crop propagated by true seed and calls on leaders of public and private organizations to explore the feasibility of this radical and exciting new strategy in potato breeding.

TL;DR: The recent progress on the mechanism by which potato plants initially sense the changes in their surrounding CO2, temperature, water status, soil salinity and consequently respond to these changes at the molecular, biochemical and physiological levels is discussed.

TL;DR: The role of the stem as a potential water reservoir to adapt against drought stress should be further examined to identify key elements for drought stress survival and recovery at the level of the potato whole plant.

TL;DR: In this paper, physicochemical and nutritional properties of dry matter and starches were studied from 13 potato varieties grown in different locations in Canada. Pearson correlation and principal component analysis were employed to examine relationships amongst variables.

TL;DR: This study evaluated the digestible starch profile of 12 potato genotypes comprising elite breeding lines and commercial varieties in six environments, with the optimal profile defined as low RDS and high SDS.
