ABSTRACT:
Solanum stenotomum, Solanum phureja and Solanum goniocalyx, which are diploid potatoes native to the Andes, are crossed by open pollination, thereby forming a hybrid population rich in genetic variation. The hybrid population is raised while screening the hybrid population on the basis of selection criteria including a yield thereof, thereby reconstituting the hybrid population. The reconstituted hybrid population is raised for seedlings under short-day light conditions while limiting a rhizosphere thereof and controlling the growth at a slightly lower temperature during a potato-tuber growing period. A mini-potato edible whole (including skin) in one bite can be thus obtained.
