Responsible Innovation in Plant Breeding: The Case of Hybrid Potato Breeding Open
As an emerging innovation, hybrid potato breeding raises high expectations about faster variety development and clean true potato seed as a new source of planting material. Hybrid breeding could, therefore, substantially contribute to glob…

Introduction Open
Potato is an important crop for food security. However, it is very vulnerable to diseases and pests and these are partly seed-borne and therefore transmitted from one generation to the next. Breeding is cumbersome while multiplication is s…
