BROUGHT TO YOU BY - Tuber Talk
Scientists are taking steps to increase genetic diversity in potatoes, including by working with potato relatives that are tetraploid or diploid. Wild diploid potatoes have two copies of each chromosome in their DNA, making their genetics easy to work with. AAFC’s Bourlaye Fofana discusses the process, and how this can be used to create more drought-resistant varieties.

When crops are harvested, they can leave materials in the soil called crop residue. This residue, if incorporated into the soil, can increase the next crop’s yield, and can store more carbon in soil which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Some crops, such as potatoes, leave lower crop residue in soils after they are harvested. AAFC scientists are looking to use this concept to improve soil health.
