Tubers of the USDA potato accession PI 234015PI 234015 “Cabra Chuchuli”

Solanum tuberosum subsp. andigenum 2x

PI 234015 at Genesys

Accession Details

A stenotomum type diploid collected in Bolivia before 1958.  GRIN notes tolerance to Fusarium.  S type cytoplasm (Hosaka 1988).  Kozukue (2008) found a TGA of 5.9mg/100g for this accession.

Observations

TPS.  Poor seedling vigor.  Tubers elongate, occasionally obovate.  Reds and blues, some with contrasting eyes.  White or light yellow flesh.  Spindly plants.  Short day tuberization.  Short to mid stolons.

Commentary

I think “cabra chuchuli” is a mix of Spanish and Aymara that translates to “goat horn.”
