Abstract
Whole-genome sequencing was done for cultivated Solanum tuberosum L. know the genetic variation and to predict the impact of domestication of these species on the environment. Extensive diversity studies were conducted in S. tuberosum species for deletion of deleterious genes and addition of valuable alleles from outside of their geographical origin followed by polyploidization to stabilize the introduced loci in cultivated potato. Only 14–16% of genes shared by Andean and North American species in present cultivars show that early crop improvement programs concentrated on very few genes only. But the signature of selection of cell cycle, carbohydrate metabolism, the shikimate pathway, glycoalkaloid biosynthesis, circadian rhythm, and reduced sexual fertility unclear in improved potato cultivars. The goal of this review paper is to present a historical overview and update of Solanum section Petota evolution, which will serve as a reference for the future breeding activities.
