Solanum tuberosum (SolTub_3.0)

About Solanum tuberosum

Solanum tuberosum (potato) is the worlds fourth most important food crop after rice, wheat and maize. Potatoes were first introduced outside the Andes four centuries ago, and it is estimated that by the year 2020 over two billion people will depend on it for food, feed, or income. It belongs to the Solanaceae, a diverse family of agriculturally important species, including tomato, eggplant, pepper, tobacco, and petunia. The potato genome consists of 12 chromosomes and has a (haploid) length of approximately 840 Mb, making it a medium-sized plant genome. While many potato lines are tetraploid, this sequenced accession corresponds to homozygous diploid line (double haploid) S. tuberosum phureja DM1-3 516 R44.
