Potato genomics & breeding

Solanum tuberosum · China, India, Russia, Ukraine, USA

Potato breeding fights late blight, viruses, and tuber-quality variation across heterogeneous environments. Our MET module decomposes GxE so you can release varieties that hold up everywhere they're sold.

~375 million tonnes, the world's most-grown non-cereal food crop.

Typical breeding goals

  • Tuber yield and dry matter
  • Late blight resistance (R-gene stacks)
  • Virus resistance (PVY, PLRV)
  • Processing quality (frying color, sugar)

Common challenges

  • Late blight
  • PVY virus
  • Heat-induced tuber disorders
  • Drought

What you can run on potato data

Every module below works on your uploaded potato dataset. The math is crop-agnostic; the defaults are crop-aware.
