Desynaptic mutants of diploid potato [Solanum phureja .times. Solanum tuberosum] (2n = 2x = 24) produced a fairly high frequency of fertile 2n pollen grains. Such 2n pollen grains may be expected to originate through an equational division of the entire chromosome complement, and therefore, of 1st division restitution (FDR) origin. Since 2nd division restitution (SDR) gametes in desynaptic mutants are expected to abort because of the imbalance of chromosome number, the fertile 2n gametes may constitute homogeneous populations of FDR gametes. Among a total of 306 progeny derived from 6 crosses, 76 desynaptic mutants were detected. Of these, 23 mutants had more than 20% pollen fertility. Some of these fertile mutants were successfully used as pollen parents. Almost all the fertile mutants derived from crosses involving parents both of which produced 2n pollen. In 2 crosses in which one of the parents was normal (producing only n pollen), with the other being 2n pollen producer, almost all the mutants were either male sterile or had below 20% pollen fertility. Desynapsis was controlled by a single recessive gene ds, but the inheritance of meiotic nuclear restitution appeared to be elusive. Despite certain drawbacks that may arise from the use of desynaptic gene in a breeding program, there are certain advantages as well.
