N2 - Potato breeding is a slow and costly affair, primarily done as a classical "mate and phenotype" approach using relatively small populations. In contrast, Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) allows cost-effective screening of much larger effective populations sizes because most of the offspring is discarded based on the absence of desired molecular marker already at the seed or seedling stage. However, the number of molecular markers known in potato with appropriate linkage to agronomical traits is presently insufficient to establish a comprehensive MAS breeding platform for potato.
