Many of the wild species of Solanum possess high level of disease resistance to viruses, bacteria and pathogenic fungi that could be useful in potato breeding. Somatic hybridization technique enables introgression of those traits from related wild species into cultivated potato and appears to be very a useful means by which the sexual incompatibilities might be bypassed. The article discusses some aspects of potato somatic hybridization.
