Abstract
Large reciprocal differences were observed inSolanum tuberosum, when a mixed population of Group Phureja and Gp. Stenotomum was reciprocally crossed with a population of Gp. Tuberosum haploids. In the progeny reciprocal differences were observed for tuber initiation, tuber set, vine senescence, tuber yield, flowering, and male fertility. These differences were large in the F1 generation, but were less dramatic when the populations were inter-mated to form F2 generations. It is proposed that most of the reciprocal differences were due to a difference in photoperiod response in the reciprocal populations. Cytoplasmic inheritance or dauermodification are considered the most likely explanations for this difference in photoperiod reaction.
