摘 要:Solanum species have a wide geographic distribution and show a large range of ecological adaptation,and thus have developed strong resistances to a wide range of pests,diseases and abiotic *** represent unique material as a source of useful genes and allelic diversity for the tetraploid cultivated potato(Solanum tuberosum).Knowledge of the endosperm balance number(EBN) incompatibility system may be extremely useful for breeders in designing specific crosses schemes for potato *** has been experimentally assigned to Solanum species after crosses with standard species whose EBN was arbitrarily established,and assuming the 2 ∶ 1 ratio as a prerequisite for normal endosperm *** role of the EBN incompatibility system in potato breeding is strongly complemented by 2n *** 2n gametes can allow inter-EBN crosses and thus gene flow between sexually isolated *** complementary role of EBN and 2n gametes not only facilitates gene introgression between inter-EBN species,but also maintains the ploidy integrity of the two parental *** are given to illustrate how to use EBN in crossing schemes designed for 2x(2EBN) and 2x(1EBN) *** increasing in the interest in exploiting exotic germplasm for breeding purposes,it is strongly believed that an understanding of EBN can be used for interspecific gene transfer in any crop species where an EBN-like system operates.
