CRISPR technology might have progressed enough for designer potato. Alter a seed potato, and use it to propogate more seed potatoes before distribution to commercial farmers.
There's a mass of sea weed off Western Australia, that has been kicking around for a looong time, and is known to be polypoloidal. Maybe the lessons investigators got from studying this world's "largest living" organism (as of 2021ce) could help with potato breeding. Australia is the ideal place for potato-breeding programs. Vast diversity of climates and enviroments, and as a land girt by sea has the World's strictest biosecurity measures (2nd only to New Zealand), so would be much harder for diseases to randomly spread from international crops and contaminate the program crops.

which is a more difficult stage for breeders , the seed multiplication stage or the trialing stage and which stage do plant breeders outsource more work of?
Iv gathered these from my crop people are telling me not to plant them. Once I pick out seeds and dispose of everything else I dry out seeds and I'm good to go Right
I have found seed apples on my potato plants 🪴!! I think to grow potato seedlings next year!! What should I do whit the seed apples?? Can you tell me, give me a advice about what I should do??
I don't have time to watch the entire video, but if you have potatoes you think might be worth breeding, why can't you use tissue culture to increase the amount you want to trial? If you can use tissue culture to produce disease free seedlings, why can't you increase interesting clones and plant them?
There is good info on growing potatoes from true potato seeds, TPS facebook.com/groups/KenoshaPotatoProject/ it has a lot of good info on varieties that will grow berries on your plants.
