Abstract
This article overviewed important topics related to the importance of potatoes, potato taxonomy and its origin and domestication. It also provided participatory research approach in potato breeding, and farmers’ trait preferences in potato breeding in Rwanda. Moreover, it went over potato genetics, conventional potato breeding for high yield, and molecular breeding applied to potato breeding such as maker-assisted breeding (MAB). In addition, gene action, and combining ability of potato yield were reviewed. Integration of MAB into conventional potato breeding program is promising for further research for crop improvement. This review may serve as a general frame work and important background information for potato breeders.
