Group Phureja "'is a hybridization with " Solanum tuberosum " by the Scottish Crop Research Institute, varieties were obtained who are adapted to the European climate.

The tuberous species within the genus ( those related to Solanum tuberosum, the potato, and therefore often called wild potatoes ) have been indicated with the letter "'T " '.

The sweet potato is only distantly related to the potato ( " Solanum tuberosum " ) and does not belong to the nightshade family Solanaceae, but that family is part of the same taxonomic order as sweet potatoes, the Solanales.

Quinoa and potatoes ( " Solanum tuberosum " ) were cultivated on the highest altitudes, maize and coca in the temperate regions and yuca, arracacha, pineapples, tobacco and cotton in the low-lying valleys with a warmer climate.

It also feeds on other solanaceous plants, such as species of ground cherry or husk tomato, " Physalis " spp ., and bittersweet, " Solanum dulcamara ", but no growth and reproduction occurs when feeding on the potato, " Solanum tuberosum ".

Evidence ranging from historical records, local agriculturalists, and DNA analyses strongly supports the hypothesis that the most widely cultivated variety of potato worldwide, " Solanum tuberosum tuberosum ", is indigenous to Chilo?Island and has been cultivated by the local indigenous people since before the coming of the Spanish.

For example, in a study to test whether plants can distinguish mechanical damage from insect herbivory attack, Korth and Dixon ( 1997 ) discovered that the accumulation of induce defence transcription products occurred more rapidly in potato ( " Solanum tuberosum L . " ) leaves chewed on by caterpillars than in leaves damaged mechanically.

"Acremonium strictum " is generally known as a mycoparasite, as shown in its antagonistic relationship with " Helminthosporium solani " . " H . solani " is a potato ( " Solanum tuberosum " ) associated fungus, that has caused extreme and widespread losses in all market classes of potatoes since emerging in the United States.
19.
A 13, 000-yr-old specimen of the wild potato, " Solanum maglia ", was also found at the site; these remains, the oldest on record for any species of potato, wild or cultivated, suggest that southern Chile was one of the two main centres for the evolution of " Solanum tuberosum tuberosum ", the common potato.
20.
"Solanum rostratum " is the ancestral host plant of the Colorado potato beetle, " Leptinotarsa decemlineata ", but this pest adopted the potato, " Solanum tuberosum " as a new ( and more succulent ) host, a fact first reported in eastern Nebraska in 1859 . It then expanded its range rapidly eastward on potato crops in the next two decades.
