Mobilization, conservation and study of cultivated and wild potato genetic resources by S. D. Kiru, E. V. Rogozina

“…A great leap forward today is the use of molecular genetic methods for genotyping collection material in gene banks to identify and itemize collection samples, as well as for using this material in basic and applied research, including breeding programs. Coordination of efforts for the collection of wild species that are not in the collections or are represented by a small number of samples, as well as the exchange of material and information about it, will help expand genetic diversity in genebanks and knowledge of the biological features of the potato.…”
