Abstract
The genetic diversity of 34 species of the genus Solanum was studied using chloroplast (cp) DNA and mitochondrial (mt) DNA specific PCR primers. 11 cpDNA haplotypes and 16 mtDNA haplotypes were discovered. Traditional botanical taxonomy of potato species was not supported by cpDNA data. Cladistic relationships of 34 species support their geographical and genome differentiation. A derived clades contains E-, B- and A-genome species of the section Petota suggesting a coevolution of chloroplast and nuclear genomes.
