Genetic variability in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).

The genetic variability analysis of twenty six genotypes of potato for seventeen yield and quality traits revealed that the characters namely tuber yield plant -1 , leaf area, average tuber weight, stolon length, total soluble solids (TSS), yield plot -1 and yield ha -1 , number of stolons and number of tubers plant -1 exhibited high heritability with high genetic gain indicating that these characters could be considered reliable tools for selection as they indicate dominance of additive gene effect.
