The team led by Huang Sanwen at Shenzhen Agricultural Genomics Research Institute of CAAS, collaborating with the researchers in Yunnan Normal University, overcame the self-incompatibility in diploid potato. They also deciphered the genetic basis of inbreeding depression, and proposed a method to overcome inbreeding depression. These studies open up a new way for potato breeding, and related results were published in Nature Plants and Nature Genetics.
