Publication number: 20220267386Abstract: The invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein having the amino acid sequence as depicted in SEQ ID NO:10, and sequences having at least 70% sequence identity with said amino acid sequence and conferring self-compatibility to a potato plant. The invention further relates to a transformed plant that comprises the nucleic acid sequence, and parts thereof. The invention further related to methods for the selection and methods for the production of a plant comprising the nucleic acid sequence, and to a plant that is obtainable by these methods.

Publication number: 20210137041Abstract: Processes for the production of large quantities of diploid F1 Solanum potato tubers that are uniform in shape are provided. Diploid F1 hybrid plants are produced from true seeds. The tubers produced by the diploid F1 hybrid plants are either harvested for consumption, processing or extraction, or for production of seedling tubers which are then planted to produce tubers for consumption, processing or extraction. Also provided are diploid F1 hybrid seeds and plants that produce large quantities of tubers that are uniform in shape and produce large quantities of sprouts per tuber when used as seedling tubers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2020Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Michiel Erik DE VRIES, Julia Elisabeth STOCKEM, Willem Hendrik LINDHOUT, Edwin VAN NIEUWENHUIZEN, Menno TER MAAT

Publication number: 20210029956Abstract: The present invention relates to a diploid, fertile, self-compatible and highly homozygous tuber-bearing Solanum species potato line designated Solyntus. The potato line Solyntus produces 15 to 20 tubers per plant. The tubers have a yellow flesh. The phenotype of the plant and tuber is stable through both sexual and asexual reproduction. The potato line Solyntus is produced from seeds or by asexual reproduction of tubers or other plant parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2020Publication date: February 4, 2021Inventors: Willem Hendrik Lindhout, Adriaan Willem van Heusden, Ate van der Burgt, Michiel Erik de Vries, Su Ying, Menno ter Maat
