Analytical Breeding in Potato
In a crop like potato, the genetic improvement through crosses and selection may be achieved at the dihaploids level and improved dihaploids may then be used for chromosome doubling to get increased tuber size.

This has been described as analytical breeding (Chase, 1963), which has the following advantages: (i) disomic inheritance in the dihaploids provides simpler inheritance rations, ease of selection and smaller population size required to recover the recombinants; (ii) dihaploids can be crossed with wild diploid species for introducting new genes; (iii) the dihaploids, represent a level of homozygosity equivalent to three generations of self pollination in an autotetraploid.
