dc.description.abstractPotato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an essential ingredient of the human diet in many countries. It is considered one of the top promising crops to reduce human hunger and poverty in the world. As a staple, it is the third most-produced food crop in the world. First domesticated in the mountains of South America, nowadays potato is cultivated worldwide in 159 countries. Cultivated potato (S. tuberosum L.) and its wild relatives belong to the Solanum sect. Petota (Solanaceae), which includes approximately 110 Solanum species. The large genetic diversity in the Solanaceae can be used in potato breeding for the development of new elite varieties that are more yielding, nutritious, and resilient to environmental stresses. Many studies have investigated the germplasm diversity of wild potato relatives in the center of origin. This chapter summarizes the studies done on potato germplasm diversity in terms of agro-morphological, molecular characterization, and preservation. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
