Potato breeding requires a long and laborious study as a based on phenotypic and genotypic selection studies
due to its tetraploid and heterozygous plant structure. This research was made to show that the variety
development can be faster with molecular assisted breeding. In this research, a short breeding program was
applied in order to develop new varieties by taking high dry matter content and PVX resistance as the main
criterion. The research was carried out between 2014-2019 and 16.000 F1 potato seeds were used as a genetic
material. A hard and effective selection breeding, breeder field observation and PVX markers based on tuber
and plant characteristics were selected. In this research, fresh market, French fry and chips variety candidates
which have high dry matter content, PVX resistant and higher tuber yield compared to commercial varieties
have been developed. According to the results of the research; special breeding programs with two selection
criteria can be used to shorten the potato breeding time and commercial candidate varieties with superior
properties can be developed. Superior lines that showed to be carrying the markers are strongly recommended
to be used by breeders to develop new PVX extreme resistance potato varieties.
