What is it about?
The cultivated potato is an autotetraploid (4 EBN) with probably four interchangeable alleles at a given locus with the possibility of intralocus interactions (heterozygozity) and interlocus interactions (epistasis) occurring which are important in breeding to improve certain traits

Why is it important?
The number of ploidy level distribution was decreasing in diploids and triploids and were increasing in tetraploids from M1V1, M1V2 to M1V3 in all the three potato mutant populations.
Perspectives
The article will help in understanding the relationship between ploidy levels and chloroplast numbers in potatoes.
