Introduction
As part of the Solanaceae Coordinated Agricultural Project (SolCAP), a germplasm panel of over 200 potato cultivars and breeding clones was assembled and evaluated in multi-location trials. A tetraploid potato population with 192 progeny was also evaluated. Data for specific traits was collected for the germplasm panel in four locations in 2010. The tetraploid population was evaluated in two locations in 2010. Plant characteristics including vine maturity and plant habit were evaluated, as were numerous tuber size, shape, and quality characteristics. Yield was also measured. This trait evaluation provides a foundation for estimates of heritability and marker-trait linkage analysis.
