Potato cultivar development by traditional methods is a slow process            requiring a number of years.  In this proposal experiments are designed         to rapidly transfer commercially important traits into Solanum                  tuberosum cv. Russet Burbank using protoplast fusion.  The donor line           contains superior resistance to net necrosis, Golden nematode, wilt and         bruising, as well as containing higher solids and displaying earlier            tuber set.  In phase 1 conditions will be defined to fuse protoplasts of        this line with Russet Burbank and to regenerate fusion derivatives.                                                                                             If this approach is feasible it could be used to bring a broad range of         useful traits into potato in a much shorter period of time, thereby             decreasing farming costs and increasing production.
