[29] [1] Using potato seeds, 25 grams of seeds can be utilized in place of 2500 kg of tubers as used in traditional potato planting. [30] This method of potato breeding received a U.S. patent in 2020. [31] Solynta has worked on developing on a late blight-resistant potato variety [32] using cross-breeding. [33] Scientists at the company have ...
