DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Potato cultivar FL 2395 is an excellent chip processing variety out of 9-month storage at
50 degrees Celsius and good tolerance to bruising. Additionally, Potato cultivar FL 2395 is
resistant (few symptoms) to Globodera pallida, Pa2.
Potato cultivar FL 2395 originated from a private breeding program in Rhinelander,
Wisconsin. FL 2395 is the result of classical hybridization breeding. In 2002, parental lines FL
1867 (female parent) and FL 2101 (male parent) were crossed. FL 1867 was chosen as a
breeding parent for its uniform size, high dry matter content, and its potential for transmitting
Golden Nematode resistance to its progeny. FL 2101 was chosen for its high dry matter content,
high yield, excellent chip color fresh off the field through 7 months of storage, and tolerance to
both bruising and common scab. Seeds from the cross were sown in a greenhouse in
Rhinelander, Wisconsin in spring 2007. The resulting tubers were harvested in summer 2007
and planted in the field in the spring of 2008, where the selection criteria was smooth appearance
and good set. A single plant was chosen and given the experimental designation ‘2008 151.01’
and subsequently named FL 2395. From 2009 to 2014, FL 2395 was planted and tested in
greenhouses and fields in Rhinelander, Wisconsin and other locations in the United States, and
tested for uniformity and stability and also for good solids, chip color, good yield, good tuber
bulking, and excellent fry color.
Potato cultivar FL 2395 has shown uniformity and stability, as described in the following
variety description information. Potato cultivar FL 2395 was tested for uniformity via tuber
propagation for six generations in Rhinelander, Wisconsin and for two generations in eleven
locations around the United States in randomized block replicated trials. Potato cultivar FL 2395
was tested for uniformity and stability a sufficient number of generations with careful attention
to uniformity of plant type and has been increased with continued observation for uniformity.
Potato cultivar FL 2395 has the following morphologic and other characteristics based
primarily on data collected in Rhinelander, Wisconsin.

Breeding With Potato Cultivar FL 2395
The complexity of inheritance influences choice of the breeding method. Backcross
breeding is used to transfer one or a few favorable genes for a highly heritable trait into a
desirable cultivar. This approach has been used extensively for breeding disease-resistant
cultivars. Various recurrent selection techniques are used to improve quantitatively inherited
traits controlled by numerous genes. The use of recurrent selection in self-pollinating crops
depends on the ease of pollination, the frequency of successful hybrids from each pollination,
and the number of hybrid offspring from each successful cross.
Promising advanced breeding lines are thoroughly tested and compared to appropriate
standards in environments representative of the commercial target area(s) for three or more
years. The best lines are candidates for new commercial cultivars; those still deficient in a few
traits may be used as parents to produce new populations for further selection.
These processes, which lead to the final step of marketing and distribution, usually take
from eight to twelve years from the time the first cross is made. Therefore, development of new
cultivars is a time-consuming process that requires precise forward planning, efficient use of
resources, and a minimum of changes in direction.
A most difficult task is the identification of individuals that are genetically superior,
because for most traits the true genotypic value is masked by other confounding plant traits or
environmental factors. One method of identifying a superior plant is to observe its performance
relative to other experimental plants and to a widely grown standard cultivar. If a single
observation is inconclusive, replicated observations provide a better estimate of its genetic worth.
The goal of potato breeding is to develop new and superior potato cultivars and hybrids.
The breeder initially selects and crosses two or more parental lines, followed by repeated selfing
and selection, producing many new genetic combinations. The breeder can theoretically
generate billions of different genetic combinations via crossing, selection, selfing and mutations.
The development of new potato cultivars requires the development and selection of
potato varieties, the crossing of these varieties and selection of superior hybrid crosses. The
hybrid seed is produced by manual crosses between selected male-fertile parents or by using
male sterility systems. These hybrids are selected for certain single gene traits such as pod color,
flower color, pubescence color or herbicide resistance which indicate that the seed is truly a
hybrid. Additional data on parental lines, as well as the phenotype of the hybrid, influence the
breeder’s decision whether to continue with the specific hybrid cross.
Breeding programs combine desirable traits from two or more cultivars or various broad-
based sources into breeding pools from which cultivars are developed by selfing and selection of
desired phenotypes. Pedigree breeding is used commonly for the improvement of self-
pollinating crops. Two parents that possess favorable, complementary traits are crossed to
produce an F . An F population is produced by selfing one or several F plants. Selection of the
1 2 1
best individuals may begin in the F population; then, beginning in the F , the best individuals in
the best families are selected. Replicated testing of families can begin in the F generation to
improve the effectiveness of selection for traits with low heritability. At an advanced stage of
inbreeding (i.e., F and F ), the best lines or mixtures of phenotypically similar lines are tested
for potential release as new cultivars.
Using Potato Cultivar FL 2395 to Develop other Potato Varieties
Potato varieties such as potato cultivar FL 2395 are typically developed for use in seed
and tuber production. However, potato varieties such as potato cultivar FL 2395 also provide a
source of breeding material that may be used to develop new potato varieties. Plant breeding
techniques known in the art and used in a potato breeding program include, but are not limited
to, recurrent selection, mass selection, bulk selection, mass selection, backcrossing, pedigree
breeding, open pollination breeding, restriction fragment length polymorphism enhanced
selection, genetic marker enhanced selection, making double haploids, transformation, and gene
editing. These techniques can be used singularly or in combinations. The development of potato
varieties in a breeding program requires, in general, the development and evaluation of
homozygous varieties. There are many analytical methods available to evaluate a new variety.
The oldest and most traditional method of analysis is the observation of phenotypic traits, but
genotypic analysis may also be used.
Additional Breeding Methods
One embodiment is directed to methods for producing a potato plant by crossing a first
parent potato plant with a second parent potato plant, wherein the first or second potato plant is
the potato plant from potato cultivar FL 2395. Further, both first and second parent potato plants
may be from potato cultivar FL 2395. Any plants produced using potato cultivar FL 2395 as at
least one parent are also within the scope of the embodiments. These methods are well known in
the art and some of the more commonly used breeding methods are described herein.
Descriptions of breeding methods can be found in one of several reference books (e.g., Allard,
Principles of Plant Breeding (1960); Simmonds, Principles of Crop Improvement (1979); Sneep,
et al. (1979); Cooper, S. G., D.S. Douches and E. J. Grafius. 2004. Combining genetic
engineering and traditional breeding to provide elevated resistance in potatoes to Colorado potato
beetle. Entom. Exper. Applic. 112:37-46; Ross, H. 1986. Potato Breeding - Problems and
Perspectives. Advances in Plant Breeding. Suppl. 13. J. Plant Breed. Verlag. Paul Parey,
Berlin).
The following describes breeding methods that may be used with potato cultivar FL 2395
in the development of further potato plants. One such embodiment is a method for developing a
potato cultivar FL 2395 progeny plant in a potato breeding program comprising: obtaining the
potato plant, or a part thereof, of potato cultivar FL 2395, utilizing said plant, or plant part, as a
source of breeding material, and selecting a potato cultivar FL 2395 progeny plant with
molecular markers in common with potato cultivar FL 2395 and/or with morphological and/or
physiological characteristics selected from the characteristics listed in Tables 1 and/or 2.
Breeding steps that may be used in the potato plant breeding program include pedigree breeding,
backcrossing, mutation breeding, and recurrent selection. In conjunction with these steps,
techniques such as RFLP-enhanced selection, genetic marker enhanced selection (for example,
SSR markers), and the making of double haploids may be utilized.
Another method involves producing a population of potato cultivar FL 2395 progeny
potato plants, comprising crossing potato cultivar FL 2395 with another potato plant, thereby
producing a population of potato plants which derive 50% of their alleles from potato cultivar FL
2395. A plant of this population may be selected and repeatedly selfed or sibbed with a potato
cultivar resulting from these successive filial generations. One embodiment is the potato cultivar
produced by this method and that has obtained at least 50% of its alleles from potato cultivar FL
2395. See, Milbourne, D., et al. “Comparison of PCR-based marker systems for the analysis of
genetic relationships in cultivated potato” in Molecular Breeding. 3(2): 127-136 (April 1997);
Jacobs, J.M.E, et al., “genetic map of potato (Solanum tuberosum) integrating molecular
markers, including transposons, and classical markers” Theoretical and Applied Genetics. 91(2):
289-300 (July 1995).
One of ordinary skill in the art of plant breeding would know how to evaluate the traits
of two plant varieties to determine if there is no significant difference between the two traits
expressed by those varieties. For example, see, Fehr and Walt, Principles of Cultivar
Development, pp. 261-286 (1987). Thus, embodiments include potato cultivar FL 2395 progeny
potato plants comprising a combination of at least two potato cultivar FL 2395 traits selected
from the group consisting of those listed in Tables 1 and 2 and a combination of traits listed in
the Summary, so that said progeny potato plant is not significantly different for said traits than
potato cultivar FL 2395 as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same
environmental conditions. Using techniques described herein, molecular markers may be used to
identify said progeny plant as a potato cultivar FL 2395 progeny plant. Mean trait values may be
used to determine whether trait differences are significant, and preferably the traits are measured
on plants grown under the same environmental conditions. Once such a variety is developed, its
value is substantial since it is important to advance the germplasm base as a whole in order to
maintain or improve traits such as yield, disease resistance, pest resistance, and plant
performance in extreme environmental conditions.
Progeny of potato cultivar FL 2395 may also be characterized through their filial
relationship with potato cultivar FL 2395, as for example, being within a certain number of
breeding crosses of potato cultivar FL 2395. A breeding cross is a cross made to introduce new
genetics into the progeny, and is distinguished from a self or a sib cross, which is made to select
among existing genetic alleles. The lower the number of breeding crosses in the pedigree, the
closer the relationship between potato cultivar FL 2395 and its progeny. For example, progeny
produced by the methods described herein may be within 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 breeding crosses of
potato cultivar FL 2395.
Pedigree Breeding
Pedigree breeding starts with the crossing of two genotypes, such as potato cultivar FL
2395 and another potato variety having one or more desirable characteristics that is lacking or
which complements potato cultivar FL 2395. If the two original parents do not provide all the
desired characteristics, other sources can be included in the breeding population. In the pedigree
method, superior plants are selfed and selected in successive filial generations. In the succeeding
filial generations, the heterozygous condition gives way to homogeneous varieties as a result of
self-pollination and selection. Typically in the pedigree method of breeding, five or more
successive filial generations of selfing and selection is practiced: F to F ; F to F ; F to F ; F
1 2 2 3 3 4 4
to F ; etc. After a sufficient amount of inbreeding, successive filial generations will serve to
increase seed of the developed variety. Preferably, the developed variety comprises homozygous
alleles at about 95% or more of its loci.
Backcross Breeding
Backcross breeding has been used to transfer genes for a simply inherited, highly
heritable trait into a desirable homozygous cultivar or inbred line which is the recurrent parent.
The source of the trait to be transferred is called the donor parent. After the initial cross,
individuals possessing the phenotype of the donor parent are selected and repeatedly crossed
(backcrossed) to the recurrent parent. The resulting plant is expected to have the attributes of the
recurrent parent (e.g., cultivar) and the desirable trait transferred from the donor parent. This is
also known as single gene conversion.
The selection of a suitable recurrent parent is an important step for a successful
backcrossing procedure. The goal of a backcross protocol is to alter or substitute a single trait or
characteristic in the original variety. To accomplish this, a single gene of the recurrent variety is
modified or substituted with the desired gene from the nonrecurrent parent, while retaining
essentially all of the rest of the desired genetic, and therefore the desired physiological and
morphological constitution of the original variety. The choice of the particular nonrecurrent
parent will depend on the purpose of the backcross; one of the major purposes is to add some
agronomically important trait to the plant. The exact backcrossing protocol will depend on the
characteristic or trait being altered to determine an appropriate testing protocol. Although
backcrossing methods are simplified when the characteristic being transferred is a dominant
allele, a recessive allele may also be transferred. In this instance it may be necessary to
introduce a test of the progeny to determine if the desired characteristic has been successfully
transferred.
Many single gene traits have been identified that are not regularly selected for in the
development of a new variety but that can be improved by backcrossing techniques well-known
in the art. Single gene traits may or may not be transgenic. Examples of these traits include, but
are not limited to, herbicide resistance, insect resistance, resistance for bacterial, fungal, or viral
disease, male fertility, male sterility, enhanced nutritional quality, modified fatty acid
metabolism, modified carbohydrate metabolism, modified yield, modified glycoalkaloid content,
and industrial usage
In addition to being used to create a backcross conversion, backcrossing can also be used
in combination with pedigree breeding. As discussed previously, backcrossing can be used to
transfer one or more specifically desirable traits from one variety, the donor parent, to a
developed variety called the recurrent parent, which has overall good agronomic characteristics
yet lacks that desirable trait or traits. However, the same procedure can be used to move the
progeny toward the genotype of the recurrent parent, but at the same time retain many
components of the nonrecurrent parent by stopping the backcrossing at an early stage and
proceeding with selfing and selection. For example, a potato variety may be crossed with
another variety to produce a first generation progeny plant. The first generation progeny plant
may then be backcrossed to one of its parent varieties to create a BC or BC . Progeny are selfed
and selected so that the newly developed variety has many of the attributes of the recurrent
parent and yet several of the desired attributes of the nonrecurrent parent. This approach
leverages the value and strengths of the recurrent parent for use in new potato varieties.
Therefore, an embodiment of the present disclosure is a method of making a backcross
conversion potato cultivar FL 2395, comprising the steps of crossing a plant of potato cultivar FL
2395 with a donor plant comprising a desired trait, selecting an F progeny plant comprising the
desired trait, and backcrossing the selected F progeny plant to a plant of potato cultivar FL 2395
to produce BC , BC , BC , etc. This method may further comprise the step of obtaining a
1 2 3
molecular marker profile of potato cultivar FL 2395 and using the molecular marker profile to
select for a progeny plant with the desired trait and the molecular marker profile of potato
cultivar FL 2395. In one embodiment, the desired trait is a mutant gene, gene, or transgene
present in the donor parent.
Recurrent Selection and Mass Selection
Recurrent selection is a method used in a plant breeding program to improve a
population of plants. Potato cultivar FL 2395 is suitable for use in a recurrent selection program.
The method entails individual plants cross pollinating with each other to form progeny. The
progeny are grown and the superior progeny selected by any number of selection methods, which
include individual plant, half-sib progeny, full-sib progeny, and selfed progeny. The selected
progeny are cross pollinated with each other to form progeny for another population. This
population is planted and again superior plants are selected to cross pollinate with each other.
Recurrent selection is a cyclical process and therefore can be repeated as many times as desired.
The objective of recurrent selection is to improve the traits of a population. The improved
population can then be used as a source of breeding material to obtain new varieties for
commercial or breeding use, including the production of a synthetic cultivar. A synthetic
cultivar is the resultant progeny formed by the intercrossing of several selected varieties.
Mass selection is a useful technique when used in conjunction with molecular marker
enhanced selection. In mass selection, seeds from individuals are selected based on phenotype or
genotype. These selected seeds are then bulked and used to grow the next generation. Bulk
selection requires growing a population of plants in a bulk plot, allowing the plants to self-
pollinate, harvesting the seed in bulk, and then using a sample of the seed harvested in bulk to
plant the next generation. Also, instead of self-pollination, directed pollination could be used as
part of the breeding program.
Mass and recurrent selections can be used to improve populations of either self- or cross-
pollinating crops. A genetically variable population of heterozygous individuals is either
identified, or created, by intercrossing several different parents. The plants are selected based on
individual superiority, outstanding progeny, or excellent combining ability. The selected plants
are intercrossed to produce a new population in which further cycles of selection are continued.
Single-Seed Descent
The single-seed descent procedure in the strict sense refers to planting a segregating
population, harvesting a sample of one seed per plant, and using the one-seed sample to plant the
next generation. When the population has been advanced from the F to the desired level of
inbreeding, the plants from which lines are derived will each trace to different F individuals.
The number of plants in a population declines each generation due to failure of some seeds to
germinate or some plants to produce at least one seed. As a result, not all of the F plants
originally sampled in the population will be represented by a progeny when generation advance
is completed.
Mutation Breeding
Mutation breeding is another method of introducing new traits into potato cultivar FL
2395. Mutations that occur spontaneously or are artificially induced can be useful sources of
variability for a plant breeder. The goal of artificial mutagenesis is to increase the rate of
mutation for a desired characteristic. Mutation rates can be increased by many different means
including temperature, long-term seed storage, tissue culture conditions, radiation; such as X-
rays, Gamma rays (e.g., cobalt 60 or cesium 137), neutrons, (product of nuclear fission by
uranium 235 in an atomic reactor), Beta radiation (emitted from radioisotopes such as
phosphorus 32 or carbon 14), or ultraviolet radiation (preferably from 2500 to 2900 nm), or
chemical mutagens (such as base analogues (5-bromo-uracil)), related compounds (8-ethoxy
caffeine), antibiotics (streptonigrin), alkylating agents (sulfur mustards, nitrogen mustards,
epoxides, ethylenamines, sulfates, sulfonates, sulfones, lactones), azide, hydroxylamine, nitrous
acid, or acridines. Once a desired trait is observed through mutagenesis the trait may then be
incorporated into existing germplasm by traditional breeding techniques. Details of mutation
breeding can be found in Fehr, “Principles of Cultivar Development,” Macmillan Publishing
Company (1993). In addition, mutations created in other potato plants may be used to produce a
backcross conversion of potato cultivar FL 2395 that comprises such mutation.
Additional methods include, but are not limited to, expression vectors introduced into
plant tissues using a direct gene transfer method, such as microprojectile-mediated delivery,
DNA injection, electroporation, and the like. More preferably, expression vectors are introduced
into plant tissues by using either microprojectile-mediated delivery with a biolistic device or by
using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Transformant plants obtained with the
protoplasm of the embodiments are intended to be within the scope of the embodiments.
Gene Editing
Targeted gene editing can be done using CRISPR/Cas9 technology (Saunders & Joung,
Nature Biotechnology, 32, 347-355, 2014), and more generally crRNA-guided surveillance
systems for gene editing. Additional information about crRNA-guided surveillance complex
systems for gene editing can be found in the following documents, which are incorporated by

Introduction of a New Trait or Locus into Potato Cultivar FL 2395
Potato cultivar FL 2395 represents a new variety into which a new locus or trait may be
introgressed. Direct transformation and backcrossing represent two important methods that can
be used to accomplish such an introgression. The term backcross conversion and single locus
conversion are used interchangeably to designate the product of a backcrossing program.
Backcross Conversions of Potato Cultivar FL 2395
A backcross conversion of potato cultivar FL 2395 occurs when DNA sequences are
introduced through backcrossing (The Potato Genome Sequencing Consortium, “Genome
sequence and analysis of the tuber crop potato” Nature. 475: 189–195. (14 July 2011); Hallauer,
et al., “Corn Breeding,” Corn and Corn Improvements, No. 18, pp. 463-481 (1988)), with potato
cultivar FL 2395 utilized as the recurrent parent. Both naturally occurring and transgenic DNA
sequences may be introduced through backcrossing techniques. A backcross conversion may
produce a plant with a trait or locus conversion in at least two or more backcrosses, including at
least 2 crosses, at least 3 crosses, at least 4 crosses, at least 5 crosses, and the like. Molecular
marker assisted breeding or selection may be utilized to reduce the number of backcrosses
necessary to achieve the backcross conversion. For example, see, Barone, Amalia, “Molecular
marker-assisted selection for potato breeding” American Journal of Potato Research. 81(2):111-
117 (March 2004), and Openshaw, S. J., et al., Marker-assisted Selection in Backcross Breeding,
Proceedings Symposium of the Analysis of Molecular Data, Crop Science Society of America,
Corvallis, Oreg. (August 1994), where it is demonstrated that a backcross conversion can be
made in as few as two backcrosses.
The complexity of the backcross conversion method depends on the type of trait being
transferred (single genes or closely linked genes as compared to unlinked genes), the level of
expression of the trait, the type of inheritance (cytoplasmic or nuclear), and the types of parents
included in the cross. It is understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that for single gene
traits that are relatively easy to classify, the backcross method is effective and relatively easy to
manage. Desired traits that may be transferred through backcross conversion include, but are not
limited to, sterility (nuclear and cytoplasmic), fertility restoration, nutritional enhancements,
drought tolerance, nitrogen utilization, altered fatty acid profile, low phytate, industrial
enhancements, disease resistance (bacterial, fungal, or viral), insect resistance, and herbicide
resistance. In addition, an introgression site itself, such as an FRT site, Lox site, or other site
specific integration site, may be inserted by backcrossing and utilized for direct insertion of one
or more genes of interest into a specific plant variety. In some embodiments, the number of loci
that may be backcrossed into potato cultivar FL 2395 is at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, and/or no more
than 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2. A single locus may contain several transgenes, such as a transgene for
disease resistance that, in the same expression vector, also contains a transgene for herbicide
resistance. The gene for herbicide resistance may be used as a selectable marker and/or as a
phenotypic trait. A single locus conversion of site specific integration system allows for the
integration of multiple genes at the converted loci.
The backcross conversion may result from either the transfer of a dominant allele or a
recessive allele. Selection of progeny containing the trait of interest is accomplished by direct
selection for a trait associated with a dominant allele. Transgenes transferred via backcrossing
typically function as a dominant single gene trait and are relatively easy to classify. Selection of
progeny for a trait that is transferred via a recessive allele requires growing and selfing the first
backcross generation to determine which plants carry the recessive alleles. Recessive traits may
require additional progeny testing in successive backcross generations to determine the presence
of the locus of interest. The last backcross generation is usually selfed to give pure breeding
progeny for the gene(s) being transferred, although a backcross conversion with a stably
introgressed trait may also be maintained by further backcrossing to the recurrent parent with
selection for the converted trait.
Along with selection for the trait of interest, progeny are selected for the phenotype of
the recurrent parent. The backcross is a form of inbreeding, and the features of the recurrent
parent are automatically recovered after successive backcrosses. Poehlman, Breeding Field
Crops, p. 204 (1987). Poehlman suggests from one to four or more backcrosses, but as noted
above, the number of backcrosses necessary can be reduced with the use of molecular markers.
Other factors, such as a genetically similar donor parent, may also reduce the number of
backcrosses necessary. As noted by Poehlman, backcrossing is easiest for simply inherited,
dominant, and easily recognized traits.
One process for adding or modifying a trait or locus in potato cultivar FL 2395
comprises crossing potato cultivar FL 2395 plants grown from potato cultivar FL 2395 seed with
plants of another potato variety that comprise the desired trait or locus, selecting F progeny
plants that comprise the desired trait or locus to produce selected F progeny plants, crossing the
selected progeny plants with the potato cultivar FL 2395 plants to produce backcross progeny
plants, selecting for backcross progeny plants that have the desired trait or locus and the
morphological characteristics of potato cultivar FL 2395 to produce selected backcross progeny
plants, and backcrossing to potato cultivar FL 2395 three or more times in succession to produce
selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plants that comprise said trait or locus. The
modified potato cultivar FL 2395 may be further characterized as having the physiological and
morphological characteristics of potato cultivar FL 2395 listed in Tables 1 and 2 and the
Summary as determined at the 5% significance level when grown in the same environmental
conditions and/or may be characterized by percent similarity or identity to potato cultivar FL
2395 as determined by SSR markers. The above method may be utilized with fewer backcrosses
in appropriate situations, such as when the donor parent is highly related or markers are used in
the selection step. Desired traits that may be used include those nucleic acids known in the art,
some of which are listed herein, that will affect traits through nucleic acid expression or
inhibition. Desired loci include the introgression of FRT, Lox, and other sites for site specific
integration, which may also affect a desired trait if a functional nucleic acid is inserted at the
integration site.
In addition, the above process and other similar processes described herein may be used
to produce first generation progeny potato seed by adding a step at the end of the process that
comprises crossing potato cultivar FL 2395 with the introgressed trait or locus with a different
potato plant and harvesting the resultant first generation progeny potato seed.
Molecular Techniques Using Potato Cultivar FL 2395
The advent of new molecular biological techniques has allowed the isolation and
characterization of genetic elements with specific functions, such as encoding specific protein
products. Scientists in the field of plant biology developed a strong interest in engineering the
genome of plants to contain and express foreign genetic elements, or additional, or modified
versions of native or endogenous genetic elements in order to “alter” (the utilization of up-
regulation, down-regulation, or gene silencing) the traits of a plant in a specific manner. Any
DNA sequences, whether from a different species or from the same species, which are
introduced into the genome using transformation or various breeding methods are referred to
herein collectively as “transgenes.” In some embodiments, a transgenic variant of potato cultivar
FL 2395 may contain at least one transgene. Over the last fifteen to twenty years several
methods for producing transgenic plants have been developed, and another embodiment also
relates to transgenic variants of the claimed potato cultivar FL 2395.
Nucleic acids or polynucleotides refer to RNA or DNA that is linear or branched, single
or double stranded, or a hybrid thereof. The term also encompasses RNA/DNA hybrids. These
terms also encompass untranslated sequence located at both the 3' and 5' ends of the coding
region of the gene: at least about 1000 nucleotides of sequence upstream from the 5' end of the
coding region and at least about 200 nucleotides of sequence downstream from the 3' end of the
coding region of the gene. Less common bases, such as inosine, 5-methylcytosine, 6-
methyladenine, hypoxanthine and others can also be used for antisense, dsRNA and ribozyme
pairing. For example, polynucleotides that contain C-5 propyne analogues of uridine and
cytidine have been shown to bind RNA with high affinity and to be potent antisense inhibitors of
gene expression. Other modifications, such as modification to the phosphodiester backbone, or
the 2'-hydroxy in the ribose sugar group of the RNA can also be made. The antisense
polynucleotides and ribozymes can consist entirely of ribonucleotides, or can contain mixed
ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides. The polynucleotides of the embodiments may be
produced by any means, including genomic preparations, cDNA preparations, in-vitro synthesis,
RT-PCR, and in vitro or in vivo transcription.
One embodiment is a process for producing potato cultivar FL 2395 further comprising a
desired trait, said process comprising introducing a transgene that confers a desired trait to a
potato plant of potato cultivar FL 2395. Another embodiment is the product produced by this
process. In one embodiment, the desired trait may be one or more of herbicide resistance, insect
resistance, disease resistance, decreased phytate, or modified fatty acid or carbohydrate
metabolism. The specific gene may be any known in the art or listed herein, including: a
polynucleotide conferring resistance to imidazolinone, dicamba, sulfonylurea, glyphosate,
glufosinate, triazine, PPO-inhibitor herbicides, benzonitrile, cyclohexanedione, phenoxy
proprionic acid, and L-phosphinothricin; a polynucleotide encoding a Bacillus thuringiensis
polypeptide; a polynucleotide encoding phytase, FAD-2, FAD-3, galactinol synthase, or a
raffinose synthetic enzyme; or a polynucleotide conferring resistance to Phytophthora late blight,
Alternaria early blight, Erwinia soft rot, Streptomyces common scab, Spongospora powdery
scab, Fusarium dry rot, Potato Leaf Roll Virus (PLRV), Globodera rostochiensis, or Globodera
pallida.
Numerous methods for plant transformation have been developed, including biological
and physical plant transformation protocols. See, for example, Miki et al., “Procedures for
Introducing Foreign DNA into Plants,” in Methods in Plant Molecular Biology and
Biotechnology, Glick and Thompson Eds., CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, pp. 67-88 (1993), and
Armstrong, “The First Decade of Maize Transformation: A Review and Future Perspective,”
Maydica, 44:101-109 (1999). In addition, expression vectors and in vitro culture methods for
plant cell or tissue transformation and regeneration of plants are available. See, for example,
Gruber, et al., “Vectors for Plant Transformation,” in Methods in Plant Molecular Biology and
Biotechnology, Glick and Thompson Eds., CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, pp. 89-119 (1993).
A genetic trait which has been engineered into the genome of a particular potato plant
may then be moved into the genome of another variety using traditional breeding techniques that
are well known in the plant breeding arts. For example, a backcrossing approach is commonly
used to move a transgene from a transformed potato variety into an already developed potato
variety, and the resulting backcross conversion plant would then comprise the transgene(s).
Various genetic elements can be introduced into the plant genome using transformation.
These elements include, but are not limited to, genes, coding sequences, inducible, constitutive
and tissue specific promoters, enhancing sequences, and signal and targeting sequences. For
example, see the traits, genes, and transformation methods listed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,118,055.
Breeding with Molecular Markers
Molecular markers, which includes markers identified through the use of techniques such
as Isozyme Electrophoresis, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs), Randomly
Amplified Polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs), Arbitrarily Primed Polymerase Chain Reaction (AP-
PCR), DNA Amplification Fingerprinting (DAF), Sequence Characterized Amplified Regions
(SCARs), Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs), Simple Sequence Repeats
(SSRs), and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) may be used in plant breeding methods
utilizing potato cultivar FL 2395.
Isozyme Electrophoresis and RFLPs have been widely used to determine genetic
composition. See Kennedy, L.S., et al, “Identification of Sweet potato Cultivars Using Isozyme
Analysis” HortScience 26(3):300-302. (1991).
SSR technology can be routinely used. See Gebhardt, C., et al. “RFLP Map of the
Potato” in R.L. Philipps and I.K. Vasil (eds.), DNA-Based Markers in Plants, 319-336, Kluwer
Academic Publishers (2001).
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) may also be used to identify the unique
genetic composition of the embodiment(s) and progeny varieties retaining that unique genetic
composition. See Vos, Peter G., et al. “Development and analysis of a 20K SNP array for potato
(Solanum tuberosum): an insight into the breeding history” Theor. Appl. Genet. 128(12):2387-
2401 (2015).
One use of molecular markers is Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping. QTL mapping
is the use of markers, which are known to be closely linked to alleles that have measurable
effects on a quantitative trait. Selection in the breeding process is based upon the accumulation
of markers linked to the positive effecting alleles and/or the elimination of the markers linked to
the negative effecting alleles from the plant’s genome. See Danan, S., et al, “Construction of a
potato consensus map and QTL meta-analysis offer new insights into the genetic architecture of
late blight resistance and plant maturity traits” BMC Plant Biol. 2011 Jan 19;11:16; and
Manrique-Carpintero, N. C., et al., “Genetic Map and QTL Analysis of Agronomic Traits in a
Diploid Potato Population using Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers Molecular” Crop Sci.
55:2566–2579 (2015). QTL markers can also be used during the breeding process for the
selection of qualitative traits. For example, markers closely linked to alleles or markers
containing sequences within the actual alleles of interest can be used to select plants that contain
the alleles of interest during a backcrossing breeding program. The markers can also be used to
select for the genome of the recurrent parent and against the genome of the donor parent. See,
Milbourne, D., et al. “Comparison of PCR-based marker systems for the analysis of genetic
relationships in cultivated potato” in Molecular Breeding. 3(2): 127-136 (April 1997); Jacobs,
J.M.E, et al., “genetic map of potato (Solanum tuberosum) integrating molecular markers,
including transposons, and classical markers” Theoretical and Applied Genetics. 91(2): 289-300
(July 1995). Using this procedure can minimize the amount of genome from the donor parent
that remains in the selected plants. It can also be used to reduce the number of crosses back to
the recurrent parent needed in a backcrossing program. The use of molecular markers in the
selection process is often called genetic marker enhanced selection. Molecular markers may also
be used to identify and exclude certain sources of germplasm as parental varieties or ancestors of
a plant by providing a means of tracking genetic profiles through crosses.
Production of Double Haploids
The production of double haploids can also be used for the development of plants with a
homozygous phenotype in the breeding program. For example, a potato plant for which potato
cultivar FL 2395 is a parent can be used to produce double haploid plants. Double haploids are
produced by the doubling of a set of chromosomes (1N) from a heterozygous plant to produce a
completely homozygous individual. For example, see, Rokka, V.N. “Potato haploids in
Breeding” in A. Touraev et al. (eds.) Advances in Haploid Production in Higher Plants, Spring
Science + Business Media B.V. (2009), Chapter 17; and De Maine, M.J. “Potato Haploid
Technologies” in M. Maluszynski et al. (eds), Doubled Haploid Production in Crop Plants, pp
241-247 (2003). This can be advantageous because the process omits the generations of selfing
needed to obtain a homozygous plant from a heterozygous source.
Thus, an embodiment is a process for making a substantially homozygous potato cultivar
FL 2395 progeny plant by producing or obtaining a seed from the cross of potato cultivar FL
2395 and another potato plant and applying double haploid methods to the F seed or F plant or
to any successive filial generation.
In particular, a process of making seed retaining the molecular marker profile of potato
variety FL 2395 is contemplated, such process comprising obtaining or producing F seed for
which potato variety FL 2395 is a parent, inducing doubled haploids to create progeny without
the occurrence of meiotic segregation, obtaining the molecular marker profile of potato variety
FL 2395, and selecting progeny that retain the molecular marker profile of potato variety FL
2395.
Expression Vectors for Potato Transformation: Marker Genes
Plant transformation involves the construction of an expression vector which will
function in plant cells. Such a vector comprises DNA comprising a gene under control of, or
operatively linked to, a regulatory element (for example, a promoter). Expression vectors
include at least one genetic marker operably linked to a regulatory element (for example, a
promoter) that allows transformed cells containing the marker to be either recovered by negative
selection, i.e., inhibiting growth of cells that do not contain the selectable marker gene, or by
positive selection, i.e., screening for the product encoded by the genetic marker. Many
commonly used selectable marker genes for plant transformation are well-known in the
transformation arts, and include, for example, genes that code for enzymes that metabolically
detoxify a selective chemical agent which may be an antibiotic or an herbicide, or genes that
encode an altered target which is insensitive to the inhibitor. A few positive selection methods
are also known in the art.
One commonly used selectable marker gene for plant transformation is the neomycin
phosphotransferase II (nptII) gene which, when under the control of plant regulatory signals,
confers resistance to kanamycin. Lecardonnel, Anne, et al., “Genetic transformation of potato
with nptII-gus marker genes enhances foliage consumption by Colorado potato beetle larvae” in
Molecular Breeding October 1999, Volume 5, Issue 5, pp 441–451.
Another commonly used selectable marker gene is the hygromycin phosphotransferase
gene which confers resistance to the antibiotic hygromycin. Kim, Hyun-Soon, et al. “The UDP-
N-acetylglucosamine:Dolichol Phosphate-N-acetylglucosamine-phosphotransferase Gene as a
New Selection Marker for Potato Transformation” Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem., 77(7), 1589-
1592 (2013).
Additional selectable marker genes include Pain1-9a and Pain1-8c which both
correspond to the group a alleles of the vacuolar acid invertase gene; Pain1prom-d/e; Stp23-8b,
StpL-3b, and StpL-3e which originate from two plastid starch phosphorylase genes; AGPsS-9a
which is positively associated an increase in tuber starch content, starch yield and chip quality,
and AGPsS-10a which is associated with a decrease in the average tuber starch content, starch
yield and chip quality; GP171-a which corresponds to allele 1a of ribulose bisphosphate
carboxylase activase; and Rca-1a. See Li, Li, et al, “Validation of candidate gene markers for
marker-assisted selection of potato cultivars with improved tuber quality” Theor Appl Genet.
2013 Apr; 126(4): 1039-1052.
Selectable marker genes for plant transformation not of bacterial origin include, for
example, mouse dihydrofolate reductase, plant 5-enolpyruvylshikimatephosphate synthase,
and plant acetolactate synthase (Eichholtz, et al., Somatic Cell Mol. Genet., 13:67 (1987); Shah,
et al., Science, 233:478 (1986); Charest, et al., Plant Cell Rep., 8:643 (1990)).
Another class of marker genes for plant transformation requires screening of
presumptively transformed plant cells, rather than direct genetic selection of transformed cells,
for resistance to a toxic substance such as an antibiotic. These genes are particularly useful to
quantify or visualize the spatial pattern of expression of a gene in specific tissues and are
frequently referred to as reporter genes because they can be fused to a gene or gene regulatory
sequence for the investigation of gene expression. Commonly used marker genes for screening
presumptively transformed cells include β-glucuronidase (GUS), β-galactosidase, luciferase, and
chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (Jefferson, R. A., Plant Mol. Biol. Rep., 5:387 (1987); Teeri,
et al., EMBO J., 8:343 (1989); Koncz, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 84:131 (1987);
DeBlock, et al., EMBO J., 3:1681 (1984)).
Expression Vectors for Potato Transformation: Promoters
Genes included in expression vectors must be driven by a nucleotide sequence
comprising a regulatory element (for example, a promoter). Several types of promoters are well
known in the transformation arts as are other regulatory elements that can be used alone or in
combination with promoters.
As used herein, “promoter” includes reference to a region of DNA upstream from the
start of transcription and involved in recognition and binding of RNA polymerase and other
proteins to initiate transcription. A “plant promoter” is a promoter capable of initiating
transcription in plant cells. Examples of promoters under developmental control include
promoters that preferentially initiate transcription in certain tissues, such as leaves, roots, seeds,
fibers, xylem vessels, tracheids, or sclerenchyma. Such promoters are referred to as “tissue-
preferred.” Promoters that initiate transcription only in a certain tissue are referred to as “tissue-
specific.” A “cell-type” specific promoter primarily drives expression in certain cell types in one
or more organs, for example, vascular cells in roots or leaves. An “inducible” promoter is a
promoter which is under environmental control. Examples of environmental conditions that may
effect transcription by inducible promoters include anaerobic conditions or the presence of light.
Tissue-specific, tissue-preferred, cell-type specific, and inducible promoters constitute the class
of “non-constitutive” promoters. A “constitutive” promoter is a promoter that is active under
most environmental conditions.
A. Inducible Promoters: An inducible promoter is operably linked to a gene for
expression in potatoes. Optionally, the inducible promoter is operably linked to a nucleotide
sequence encoding a signal sequence which is operably linked to a gene for expression in
potatoes. With an inducible promoter, the rate of transcription increases in response to an
inducing agent.
Any inducible promoter can be used in one or more embodiments. See, Ward, et al.,
Plant Mol. Biol., 22:361-366 (1993). Exemplary inducible promoters include, but are not limited
to a stress-inducible Arabidopsis rd29A promoter, Pino, M.T., et al., “Use of a stress inducible
promoter to drive ectopic AtCBF expression improves potato freezing tolerance while
minimizing negative effects on tuber yield” Plant Biotechnol. J. 2007 Sep;5(5):591-604; a light-
inducible promoter Lhca3, Meiyalaghan, S., et al., “Expression of cry1Ac9 and cry9Aa2 genes
under a potato light-inducible Lhca3 promoter in transgenic potatoes for tuber moth resistance”
Euphytica 147(3) · April 2006.
B. Constitutive Promoters: A constitutive promoter is operably linked to a gene for
expression in potatoes or the constitutive promoter is operably linked to a nucleotide sequence
encoding a signal sequence which is operably linked to a gene for expression in potatoes.
Many different constitutive promoters can be utilized in one or more embodiments.
Exemplary constitutive promoters include, but are not limited to, the promoters from plant
viruses such as the 35S promoter from CaMV (Odell, et al., Nature, 313:810-812 (1985)) and the
promoters from such genes as rice actin (McElroy, et al., Plant Cell, 2:163-171 (1990));
ubiquitin (Christensen, et al., Plant Mol. Biol., 12:619-632 (1989); Christensen, et al., Plant Mol.
Biol., 18:675-689 (1992)); pEMU (Last, et al., Theor. Appl. Genet., 81:581-588 (1991)); MAS
(Velten, et al., EMBO J., 3:2723-2730 (1984)); and maize H3 histone (Lepetit, et al., Mol. Gen.
Genetics, 231:276-285 (1992); Atanassova, et al., Plant Journal, 2 (3):291-300 (1992)). The
ALS promoter, Xbal/NcoI fragment 5' to the Brassica napus ALS3 structural gene (or a
nucleotide sequence similarity to said XbaI/NcoI fragment), represents another useful
constitutive promoter. See also, U.S. Pat. No. 5,659,026.
C. Tissue-Specific or Tissue-Preferred Promoters: A tissue-specific promoter is operably
linked to a gene for expression in potato. Optionally, the tissue-specific promoter is operably
linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a signal sequence which is operably linked to a gene
for expression in potato. Plants transformed with a gene of interest operably linked to a tissue-
specific promoter produce the protein product of the transgene exclusively, or preferentially, in a
specific tissue.
Any tissue-specific or tissue-preferred promoter can be utilized in an embodiment(s).
Exemplary tissue-specific or tissue-preferred promoters include, but are not limited to the C(4)-
PEPC promoter, see Ghasimi, H., et al., “Green-tissue-specific, C(4)-PEPC-promoter-driven
expression of Cry1Ab makes transgenic potato plants resistant to tuber moth (Phthorimaea
operculella, Zeller), Plant Cell Rep. 2009 Dec 28, (12):1869-79; and see Lim, C.J., et al..,

Expression Profiles of Arabidopsis Orthologues”, Mol Cells. 2012 Jul 31; 34(1): 53–59.
Signal Sequences for Targeting Proteins to Subcellular Compartments
Transport of a protein produced by transgenes to a subcellular compartment, such as the
chloroplast, vacuole, peroxisome, glyoxysome, cell wall, or mitochondrion, or for secretion into
the apoplast, is accomplished by means of operably linking the nucleotide sequence encoding a
signal sequence to the 5' and/or 3' region of a gene encoding the protein of interest. Targeting
sequences at the 5' and/or 3' end of the structural gene may determine during protein synthesis
and processing where the encoded protein is ultimately compartmentalized.
The presence of a signal sequence directs a polypeptide to either an intracellular
organelle or subcellular compartment or for secretion to the apoplast. Many signal sequences are
well-known in the art. See, for example, Becker, et al., Plant Mol. Biol., 20:49 (1992); Knox, C.,
et al., Plant Mol. Biol., 9:3-17 (1987); Lerner, et al., Plant Physiol., 91:124-129 (1989); Frontes,
et al., Plant Cell, 3:483-496 (1991); Matsuoka, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 88:834 (1991);
Gould, et al., J. Cell. Biol., 108:1657 (1989); Creissen, et al., Plant J., 2:129 (1991); Kalderon, et
al., Cell, 39:499-509 (1984); Steifel, et al., Plant Cell, 2:785-793 (1990).
Foreign Protein Genes and Agronomic Genes: Transformation
With transgenic plants according to one embodiment, a foreign protein can be produced
in commercial quantities. Thus, techniques for the selection and propagation of transformed
plants, which are well understood in the art, yield a plurality of transgenic plants which are
harvested in a conventional manner, and a foreign protein can then be extracted from a tissue of
interest or from total biomass. Protein extraction from plant biomass can be accomplished by
known methods which are discussed, for example, by Heney and Orr, Anal. Biochem., 114:92-6
(1981).
According to an embodiment, the transgenic plant provided for commercial production
of foreign protein is a potato plant. In another embodiment, the biomass of interest is potato
tubers and potato seed. For the relatively small number of transgenic plants that show higher
levels of expression, a genetic map can be generated, primarily via conventional RFLP, PCR,
and SSR analysis, which identifies the approximate chromosomal location of the integrated DNA
molecule. For exemplary methodologies in this regard, see, Glick and Thompson, Methods in
Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, 269:284 (1993).
Map information concerning chromosomal location is useful for proprietary protection of a
subject transgenic plant.
Likewise, by means of one embodiment, plants can be genetically engineered to express
various phenotypes of agronomic interest. Through the transformation of potato, the expression
of genes can be altered to enhance disease resistance, insect resistance, herbicide resistance,
agronomic, tuber quality, and other traits. Transformation can also be used to insert DNA
sequences which control or help control male-sterility. DNA sequences native to potatoes, as
well as non-native DNA sequences, can be transformed into potatoes and used to alter levels of
native or non-native proteins. Various promoters, targeting sequences, enhancing sequences, and
other DNA sequences can be inserted into the genome for the purpose of altering the expression
of proteins. The interruption or suppression of the expression of a gene at the level of
transcription or translation (also known as gene silencing or gene suppression) is desirable for
several aspects of genetic engineering in plants.
Many techniques for gene silencing are well-known to one of skill in the art, including,
but not limited to, knock-outs (such as by insertion of a transposable element such as Mu (Vicki
Chandler, The Maize Handbook, Ch. 118 (Springer-Verlag 1994)) or other genetic elements such
as a FRT, Lox, or other site specific integration sites; antisense technology (see, e.g., Sheehy, et
al., PNAS USA, 85:8805-8809 (1988) and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,107,065, 5,453,566, and 5,759,829);
co-suppression (e.g., Taylor, Plant Cell, 9:1245 (1997); Jorgensen, Trends Biotech., 8(12):340-
344 (1990); Flavell, PNAS USA, 91:3490-3496 (1994); Finnegan, et al., Bio/Technology, 12:883-
888 (1994); Neuhuber, et al., Mol. Gen. Genet., 244:230-241 (1994)); RNA interference (Napoli,
et al., Plant Cell, 2:279-289 (1990); U.S. Pat. No. 5,034,323; Sharp, Genes Dev., 13:139-141
(1999); Zamore, et al., Cell, 101:25-33 (2000); Montgomery, et al., PNAS USA, 95:15502-15507
(1998)), virus-induced gene silencing (Burton, et al., Plant Cell, 12:691-705 (2000); Baulcombe,
Curr. Op. Plant Bio., 2:109-113 (1999)); target-RNA-specific ribozymes (Haseloff, et al.,
Nature, 334:585-591 (1988)); hairpin structures (Smith, et al., Nature, 407:319-320 (2000); U.S.
Pat. Nos. 6,423,885, 7,138,565, 6,753,139, and 7,713,715); MicroRNA (Aukerman & Sakai,
Plant Cell, 15:2730-2741 (2003)); ribozymes (Steinecke, et al., EMBO J., 11:1525 (1992);
Perriman, et al., Antisense Res. Dev., 3:253 (1993)); oligonucleotide mediated targeted
modification (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,528,700 and 6,911,575); Zn-finger targeted molecules (e.g.,
U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,151,201, 6,453,242, 6,785,613, 7,177,766 and 7,788,044); and other methods or
combinations of the above methods known to those of skill in the art.
Additional Methods for Potato Transformation
Numerous methods for plant transformation have been developed including biological
and physical plant transformation protocols. See, for example, Chakaravarty, B., et al., “Genetic
transformation in potato: Approaches and strategies” American Journal of Potato Research
84(4):301-311.
A. Agrobacterium-mediated Transformation: One method for introducing an expression
vector into plants is based on the natural transformation system of Agrobacterium. See, for
example, Orozco-Cárdenas, M.L., et al., (2014). Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Methods in
Molecular biology, Agrobacterium Protocols edited by Kan Wang. Third Edition Volume 2,
Humana Press. Totowa, New Jersey, (2014).
B. Direct Gene Transfer: Several methods of plant transformation, collectively referred
to as direct gene transfer, have been developed as an alternative to Agrobacterium-mediated
transformation. A generally applicable method of plant transformation is microprojectile-
mediated transformation where DNA is carried on the surface of microprojectiles measuring 1 to
4 μm. The expression vector is introduced into plant tissues with a biolistic device that
accelerates the microprojectiles to speeds of 300 to 600 m/s which is sufficient to penetrate plant
cell walls and membranes. Sanford, et al., Part. Sci. Technol., 5:27 (1987); Sanford, J. C.,
Trends Biotech., 6:299 (1988); Klein, et al., Bio/Tech., 6:559-563 (1988); Sanford, J. C., Physiol
Plant, 7:206 (1990); Klein, et al., Biotechnology, 10:268 (1992). See also, U.S. Pat. No.
,015,580 (Christou, et al.), issued May 14, 1991 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,322,783.
Another method for physical delivery of DNA to plants is sonication of target cells.
Zhang, et al., Bio/Technology, 9:996 (1991). Alternatively, liposome and spheroplast fusion
have been used to introduce expression vectors into plants. Deshayes, et al., EMBO J., 4:2731
(1985); Christou, et al., Proc Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 84:3962 (1987). Direct uptake of DNA into
protoplasts using CaCl precipitation, polyvinyl alcohol or poly-L-ornithine have also been
reported. Hain, et al., Mol. Gen. Genet., 199:161 (1985) and Draper, et al., Plant Cell Physiol.,
23:451 (1982). Electroporation of protoplasts and whole cells and tissues has also been
described (D'Halluin, et al., Plant Cell, 4:1495-1505 (1992); and Spencer, et al., Plant Mol. Biol.,
24:51-61 (1994)).
Following transformation of potato target tissues, expression of the above-described
selectable marker genes allows for preferential selection of transformed cells, tissues, and/or
plants, using regeneration and selection methods well known in the art.
The foregoing methods for transformation may be used for producing a transgenic
variety. The transgenic variety could then be crossed with another (non-transformed or
transformed) variety in order to produce a new transgenic variety. Alternatively, a genetic trait
that has been engineered into a particular potato line using the foregoing transformation
techniques could be moved into another line using traditional backcrossing techniques that are
well known in the plant breeding arts. For example, a backcrossing approach could be used to
move an engineered trait from a public, non-elite variety into an elite variety, or from a variety
containing a foreign gene in its genome into a variety or varieties that do not contain that gene.
As used herein, “crossing” can refer to a simple x by y cross or the process of backcrossing
depending on the context.
Likewise, by means of one embodiment, agronomic genes can be expressed in
transformed plants. More particularly, plants can be genetically engineered to express various
phenotypes of agronomic interest. Exemplary genes implicated in this regard include, but are not
limited to, those categorized below:
1. Genes That Confer Resistance to Pests or Disease and That Encode:
A. Plant disease resistance genes. Plant defenses are often activated by specific
interaction between the product of a disease resistance gene (R) in the plant and the product of a
corresponding avirulence (Avr) gene in the pathogen. A plant variety can be transformed with
one or more cloned resistance genes to engineer plants that are resistant to specific pathogen
strains. See, for example, Jones, et al., Science, 266:789 (1994) (cloning of the tomato Cf-9 gene
for resistance to Cladosporium fulvum); Martin, et al., Science, 262:1432 (1993) (tomato Pto
gene for resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato encodes a protein kinase); Mindrinos, et
al., Cell, 78:1089 (1994) (Arabidopsis RSP2 gene for resistance to Pseudomonas syringae);
McDowell & Woffenden, Trends Biotechnol., 21(4):178-83 (2003); and Toyoda, et al.,
Transgenic Res., 11 (6):567-82 (2002).
B. A gene conferring resistance to a pest, such as the Colorado potato beetle. See, for
example, Mi, X., et al., “Transgenic potato plants expressing cry3A gene confer resistance to
Colorado potato beetle” C. R. Biol. 2015 Jul, 338(7):443-50; and the potato tuber moth,
Davidson, M.M., et al., “Development and Evaluation of Potatoes Transgenic for a cryAc1 Gene
Conferring Resistance to Potato Tuber Moth” J. Amer. Soc. Hort. Sci. 127(4):590-596.
C. A Bacillus thuringiensis protein, a derivative thereof or a synthetic polypeptide
modeled thereon. See, for example, Geiser, et al., Gene, 48:109 (1986), who disclose the cloning
and nucleotide sequence of a Bt δ-endotoxin gene. Moreover, DNA molecules encoding δ-
endotoxin genes can be purchased from American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, Va., for
example, under ATCC Accession Nos. 40098, 67136, 31995, and 31998.

disclose the nucleotide sequences of several Clivia miniata mannose-binding lectin genes.
E. A vitamin-binding protein such as avidin. See, International Application No.
, which teaches the use of avidin and avidin homologues as larvicides
against insect pests.
F. An enzyme inhibitor, for example, a protease or proteinase inhibitor or an amylase
inhibitor. See, for example, Abe, et al., J. Biol. Chem., 262:16793 (1987) (nucleotide sequence
of rice cysteine proteinase inhibitor); Huub, et al., Plant Molec. Biol., 21:985 (1993) (nucleotide
sequence of cDNA encoding tobacco proteinase inhibitor I); Sumitani, et al., Biosci. Biotech.
Biochem., 57:1243 (1993) (nucleotide sequence of Streptomyces nitrosporeus α-amylase
inhibitor); and U.S. Pat. No. 5,494,813.
G. An insect-specific hormone or pheromone, such as an ecdysteroid or juvenile
hormone, a variant thereof, a mimetic based thereon, or an antagonist or agonist thereof. See, for
example, the disclosure by Hammock, et al., Nature, 344:458 (1990), of baculovirus expression
of cloned juvenile hormone esterase, an inactivator of juvenile hormone.
H. An insect-specific peptide or neuropeptide which, upon expression, disrupts the
physiology of the affected pest. For example, see the disclosures of Regan, J. Biol. Chem., 269:9
(1994) (expression cloning yields DNA coding for insect diuretic hormone receptor); Pratt, et al.,
Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., 163:1243 (1989) (an allostatin is identified in Diploptera
puntata); Chattopadhyay, et al., Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 30(1):33-54 (2004);
Zjawiony, J. Nat. Prod., 67(2):300-310 (2004); Carlini & Grossi-de-Sa, Toxicon, 40(11):1515-
1539 (2002); Ussuf, et al., Curr Sci., 80(7):847-853 (2001); Vasconcelos & Oliveira, Toxicon,
44(4):385-403 (2004). See also, U.S. Pat. No. 5,266,317 which discloses genes encoding insect-
specific, paralytic neurotoxins.
I. An insect-specific venom produced in nature by a snake, a wasp, etc. For example,
see, Pang, et al., Gene, 116:165 (1992), for disclosure of heterologous expression in plants of a
gene coding for a scorpion insectotoxic peptide.
J. An enzyme responsible for a hyperaccumulation of a monoterpene, a sesquiterpene, a
steroid, hydroxamic acid, a phenylpropanoid derivative, or another non-protein molecule with
insecticidal activity.
K. An enzyme involved in the modification, including the post-translational
modification, of a biologically active molecule; for example, a glycolytic enzyme, a proteolytic
enzyme, a lipolytic enzyme, a nuclease, a cyclase, a transaminase, an esterase, a hydrolase, a
phosphatase, a kinase, a phosphorylase, a polymerase, an elastase, a chitinase, and a glucanase,
whether natural or synthetic. See, U.S. Pat. No. 5,955,653 which discloses the nucleotide
sequence of a callase gene. DNA molecules which contain chitinase-encoding sequences can be
obtained, for example, from the ATCC under Accession Nos. 39637 and 67152. See also,
Kramer, et al., Insect Biochem. Molec. Biol., 23:691 (1993), who teach the nucleotide sequence
of a cDNA encoding tobacco hornworm chitinase, and Kawalleck, et al., Plant Molec. Biol.,
21:673 (1993), who provide the nucleotide sequence of the parsley ubi4-2 polyubiquitin gene,
U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,145,060, 7,087,810, and 6,563,020.
L. A hydrophobic moment peptide. See, U.S. Pat. No. 5,580,852, which discloses
peptide derivatives of tachyplesin which inhibit fungal plant pathogens, and U.S. Pat. No.
,607,914 which teaches synthetic antimicrobial peptides that confer disease resistance.
M. A membrane permease, a channel former or a channel blocker. For example, see the
disclosure of Jaynes, et al., Plant Sci, 89:43 (1993), of heterologous expression of a cecropin-13
lytic peptide analog to render transgenic tobacco plants resistant to Pseudomonas solanacearum.
N. A viral-invasive protein or a complex toxin derived therefrom. For example, the
accumulation of viral coat proteins in transformed plant cells imparts resistance to viral infection
and/or disease development effected by the virus from which the coat protein gene is derived, as
well as by related viruses. See, Beachy, et al., Ann. Rev. Phytopathol., 28:451 (1990). Coat
protein-mediated resistance has been conferred upon transformed plants against alfalfa mosaic
virus, cucumber mosaic virus, and tobacco mosaic virus.
O. An insect-specific antibody or an immunotoxin derived therefrom. Thus, an antibody
targeted to a critical metabolic function in the insect gut would inactivate an affected enzyme,
killing the insect.
P. A virus-specific antibody. See, for example, Tavladoraki, et al., Nature, 366:469
(1993), who show that transgenic plants expressing recombinant antibody genes are protected
from virus attack.
Q. A developmental-arrestive protein produced in nature by a pathogen or a parasite.
Thus, fungal endo-α-1,4-D-polygalacturonases facilitate fungal colonization and plant nutrient
release by solubilizing plant cell wall homo-α-1,4-D-galacturonase. See, Lamb, et al.,
Bio/Technology, 10:1436 (1992). The cloning and characterization of a gene which encodes a
bean endopolygalacturonase-inhibiting protein is described by Toubart, et al., Plant J., 2:367
(1992).
R. A developmental-arrestive protein produced in nature by a plant. For example,
Logemann, et al., Bio/Technology, 10:305 (1992), have shown that transgenic plants expressing
the barley ribosome-inactivating gene have an increased resistance to fungal disease.
S. Genes involved in the Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) Response and/or the
pathogenesis-related genes. Briggs, S., Current Biology, 5(2) (1995); Pieterse & Van Loon,
Curr. Opin. Plant Bio., 7(4):456-64 (2004); and Somssich, Cell, 113(7):815-6 (2003).
T. Antifungal genes. See, Cornelissen and Melchers, Plant Physiol., 101:709-712
(1993); Parijs, et al., Planta, 183:258-264 (1991); and Bushnell, et al., Can. J of Plant Path.,
(2):137-149 (1998). See also, U.S. Pat. No. 6,875,907.

W. Defensin genes. See, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,911,577, 7,855,327, 7855,328, 7,897,847,
7,910,806, 7,919,686, and 8,026,415.
X. Genes conferring resistance to nematodes. See, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,994,627 and
6,294,712; Urwin, et al., Planta, 204:472-479 (1998); Williamson, Curr Opin Plant Bio.,
2(4):327-31 (1999).
Y. Genes conferring resistance to potato late blight, such as Rpi-Vnt1, which is well-
known in art.
Z. Genes conferring resistance to potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) through gene silencing
mechanism, such as plrv orf1 and 2, which is well-known in art.
AA. Genes conferring resistance to potato virus Y (PVY) through “pathogen-derived
resistance” mechanism, such as pvy cp, which is well-known in art. Please see Song, Ye-Su,
“Genetic marker analysis in potato for extreme resistance (Rysto) to PVY and for chip quality
after long term storage at 4°C” Dissertation, Tecnhical University of Munchen, dated July 26,
2004.
Any of the above-listed disease or pest resistance genes (A-AA) can be introduced into
the claimed potato cultivar through a variety of means including, but not limited to,
transformation and crossing.
2. Genes That Confer Resistance to an Herbicide, for Example:
A. An herbicide that inhibits the growing point or meristem, such as an imidazolinone or
a sulfonylurea. Exemplary genes in this category code for mutant ALS and AHAS enzyme as
described, for example, by Lee, et al., EMBO J., 7:1241 (1988) and Mild, et al., Theor. Appl.
Genet., 80:449 (1990), respectively.
B. Glyphosate (resistance conferred by mutant 5-enolpyruvlshikimatephosphate
synthase (EPSPS) and aroA genes, respectively) and other phosphono compounds, such as
glufosinate (phosphinothricin acetyl transferase (PAT) and Streptomyces hygroscopicus PAT bar
genes), pyridinoxy or phenoxy proprionic acids, and cyclohexanediones (ACCase inhibitor-
encoding genes). See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,940,835 which discloses the nucleotide
sequence of a form of EPSPS which can confer glyphosate resistance. U.S. Pat. No. 5,627,061
which describes genes encoding EPSPS enzymes. See also, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,566,587, 6,338,961,
6,248,876, 6,040,497, 5,804,425, 5,633,435, 5,145,783, 4,971,908, 5,312,910, 5,188,642,
4,940,835, 5,866,775, 6,225,114, 6,130,366, 5,310,667, 4,535,060, 4,769,061, 5,633,448,
,510,471, 6,803,501, RE 36,449, RE 37,287, and 5,491,288, which are incorporated herein by
reference for this purpose. Glyphosate resistance is also imparted to plants that express a gene
that encodes a glyphosate oxido-reductase enzyme, as described more fully in U.S. Pat. Nos.
,776,760 and 5,463,175, which are incorporated herein by reference for this purpose. In
addition, glyphosate resistance can be imparted to plants by the over expression of genes
encoding glyphosate N-acetyltransferase. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,462,481. A DNA
molecule encoding a mutant aroA gene can be obtained under ATCC Accession No. 39256, and
the nucleotide sequence of the mutant gene is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,061. European
Patent Appl. No. 0333033 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,975,374 disclose nucleotide sequences of
glutamine synthetase genes which confer resistance to herbicides such as L-phosphinothricin.
The nucleotide sequence of a PAT gene is provided in European Patent No. 0242246 to
Leemans, et al. DeGreef, et al., Bio/Technology, 7:61 (1989) describe the production of
transgenic plants that express chimeric bar genes coding for phosphinothricin acetyl transferase
activity. Exemplary of genes conferring resistance to phenoxy proprionic acids and
cyclohexones, such as sethoxydim and haloxyfop are the Acc1-S1, Acc1-S2, and Acc2-S3 genes
described by Marshall, et al., Theor. Appl. Genet., 83:435 (1992).
C. An herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis, such as a triazine (psbA and gs+ genes) and
a benzonitrile (nitrilase gene). Przibila, et al., Plant Cell, 3:169 (1991), describe the
transformation of Chlamydomonas with plasmids encoding mutant psbA genes. Nucleotide
sequences for nitrilase genes are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,810,648 to Stalker and DNA
molecules containing these genes are available under ATCC Accession Nos. 53435, 67441, and
67442. Cloning and expression of DNA coding for a glutathione S-transferase is described by
Hayes, et al., Biochem. J., 285:173 (1992). Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) is the target of
the PPO-inhibitor class of herbicides; a PPO-inhibitor resistant PPO gene was recently identified
in Amaranthus tuberculatus (Patzoldt et al., PNAS, 103(33):12329-2334, 2006). The herbicide
methyl viologen inhibits CO assimilation. Foyer et al. (Plant Physiol., 109:1047-1057, 1995)
describe a plant overexpressing glutathione reductase (GR) which is resistant to methyl viologen
treatment. Bromoxynil resistance by introducing a chimeric gene containing the bxn gene
(Science, 242(4877): 419-23, 1988).
D. Acetohydroxy acid synthase, which has been found to make plants that express this
enzyme resistant to multiple types of herbicides, has been introduced into a variety of plants.
See, Hattori, et al., Mol. Gen. Genet., 246:419 (1995). Other genes that confer tolerance to
herbicides include a gene encoding a chimeric protein of rat cytochrome P4507A1 and yeast
NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (Shiota, et al., Plant Physiol., 106:17 (1994)); genes
for glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase (Aono, et al., Plant Cell Physiol., 36:1687
(1995)); and genes for various phosphotransferases (Datta, et al., Plant Mol. Biol., 20:619
(1992)).
E. Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (protox) is necessary for the production of chlorophyll,
which is necessary for all plant survival. The protox enzyme serves as the target for a variety of
herbicidal compounds. These herbicides also inhibit growth of all the different species of plants
present, causing their total destruction. The development of plants containing altered protox
activity which are resistant to these herbicides are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,288,306,
6,282,837, 5,767,373, and 6,084,155.
Any of the above listed herbicide genes (A-E) can be introduced into the claimed potato
cultivar through a variety of means including but not limited to transformation and crossing.
3. Genes That Confer or Contribute to a Value-Added Trait, such as:
A. Modified fatty acid metabolism, for example, by transforming a plant with an
antisense gene of stearyl-ACP desaturase to increase stearic acid content of the plant. See,
Knultzon, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89:2625 (1992).
B. Decreased phytate content: 1) Introduction of a phytase-encoding gene enhances
breakdown of phytate, adding more free phosphate to the transformed plant. For example, see,
Van Hartingsveldt, et al., Gene, 127:87 (1993), for a disclosure of the nucleotide sequence of an
Aspergillus niger phytase gene. 2) Up-regulation of a gene that reduces phytate content. In
maize, this, for example, could be accomplished by cloning and then re-introducing DNA
associated with one or more of the alleles, such as the LPA alleles, identified in maize mutants
characterized by low levels of phytic acid, such as in Raboy, et al., Maydica, 35:383 (1990),
and/or by altering inositol kinase activity as in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,425,442, 7,714,187,
6,197,561, 6,2191,224, 6,855,869, 6,391,348, 6,197,561, and 6,291,224; U.S. Publ. Nos.

WO 01/04147.
C. Modified carbohydrate composition effected, for example, by transforming plants
with a gene coding for an enzyme that alters the branching pattern of starch, or a gene altering
thioredoxin, such as NTR and/or TRX (See, U.S. Pat. No. 6,531,648, which is incorporated by
reference for this purpose), and/or a gamma zein knock out or mutant, such as cs27 or TUSC27
or en27 (See, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,858,778, 7,741,533 and U.S. Publ. No. 2005/0160488, which are

also be used to affect starch content and/or composition through the interrelationship of the
starch and oil pathways.
D. Elevated oleic acid via FAD-2 gene modification and/or decreased linolenic acid via
FAD-3 gene modification. See, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,952,544, 6,063,947, and 6,323,392.
E. Altering conjugated linolenic or linoleic acid content, such as in U.S. Pat. No.

4. Genes that Control Male Sterility:
There are several methods of conferring genetic male sterility in potatoes. For example,
male sterility occurs more often in tetraploid cultivars and related taxa. Please see Grun P., et al.,
“Multiple differentiation of plasmons of diploid species of Solanum.” Genetics 47: 1321–1333
(1962). The male sterility is a consequence of nuclear-cytoplasm interactions, where the
dominant Ms gene interacts with the cytoplasm of S. tuberosum to cause male sterility and the
dominant Rt gene restores fertility. Please see Iwanaga M., et al., “A restorer gene for genetic-
cytoplasmic male sterility in cultivated potatoes”. Am. Potato J. 68: 19–28 (1991a).
. Genes that Create a Site for Site Specific DNA Integration:
This includes the introduction of FRT sites that may be used in the FLP/FRT system
and/or Lox sites that may be used in the Cre/Loxp system. See, for example, Lyznik, et al., Site-
Specific Recombination for Genetic Engineering in Plants, Plant Cell Rep, 21:925-932 (2003)
and U.S. Pat. No. 6,187,994, which are hereby incorporated by reference. Other systems that
may be used include the Gin recombinase of phage Mu (Maeser, et al. (1991); Vicki Chandler,
The Maize Handbook, Ch. 118 (Springer-Verlag 1994)); the Pin recombinase of E. coli
(Enomoto, et al. (1983)); and the R/RS system of the pSRi plasmid (Araki, et al. (1992)).
6. Genes that Affect Abiotic Stress Resistance:
Genes that affect abiotic stress resistance (including but not limited to flowering,
enhancement of nitrogen utilization efficiency, altered nitrogen responsiveness, drought
resistance or tolerance, cold resistance or tolerance, and salt resistance or tolerance) and
increased yield under stress. For example, see U.S. Pat. No. 6,653,535 where water use
efficiency is altered through alteration of malate; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,892,009, 5,965,705, 5,929,305,

7,635,800, 7,135,616, 7,193,129, and 7,601,893; and International Publ. Nos. ,
, , , , ,
, and , describing genes, including CBF genes and
transcription factors effective in mitigating the negative effects of freezing, high salinity, and
drought on plants, as well as conferring other positive effects on plant phenotype; U.S. Publ. No.
2004/0148654, where abscisic acid is altered in plants resulting in improved plant phenotype,
such as increased yield and/or increased tolerance to abiotic stress; U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,992,237,
6,429,003, 7,049,115, and 7,262,038, where cytokinin expression is modified resulting in plants
with increased stress tolerance, such as drought tolerance, and/or increased yield. See also, WO
02/02776, , JP 2002281975, U.S. Pat. No. 6,084,153, WO 01/64898, and U.S.
Pat. Nos. 6,177,275 and 6,107,547 (enhancement of nitrogen utilization and altered nitrogen
responsiveness). For ethylene alteration, see, U.S. Publ. Nos. 2004/0128719, 2003/0166197, and
U.S. Application No. 09/856,834. For plant transcription factors or transcriptional regulators of
abiotic stress, see, e.g., U.S. Publ. Nos. 2004/0098764 or 2004/0078852.
Other genes and transcription factors that affect plant growth and agronomic traits, such
as yield, flowering, plant growth, and/or plant structure, can be introduced or introgressed into
plants. See for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,140,085, and 6,265,637 (CO); U.S. Pat. No. 6,670,526
(ESD4); U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,573,430 and 7,157,279 (TFL); U.S. Pat. No. 6,713,663 (FT); U.S. Pat.

7,345,217, 7,511,190, 7,659,446, and 7,825,296 (transcription factors).
Gene Editing Using CRISPR
CRISPR is a type of genome editing system that stands for Clustered Regularly
Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. This system and CRISPR-associated (Cas) genes enable
organisms, such as select bacteria and archaea, to respond to and eliminate invading genetic
material. Ishino, Y., et al. J. Bacteriol. 169, 5429–5433 (1987). These repeats were known as
early as the 1980s in E. coli, but Barrangou and colleagues demonstrated that S. thermophilus
can acquire resistance against a bacteriophage by integrating a fragment of a genome of an
infectious virus into its CRISPR locus. Barrangou, R., et al. Science 315, 1709–1712 (2007).
Potatoes have been modified using the CRISPR system. Please see Wang, S., et al., “Efficient
targeted mutagenesis in potato by the CRISPR/Cas9 system” Plant Cell Reports 34(9): pp 1473–
1476 (September 2015). Therefore is another embodiment to use the CRISPR system on potato
variety FL 2395 to modify traits and resistances to pests, herbicides, and viruses.
Tissue Culture
Further reproduction of the variety can occur by tissue culture and regeneration. Tissue
culture of various tissues of potatoes and regeneration of plants therefrom is well-known and
widely published. See, Ahloowalia, B.S., “Plant regeneration from callus culture in potato”
Euphytica. 31(3): pp 755–759 (December 1982); and Wang, P.J., “Regeneration of Virus-free
Potato from Tissue Culture” in Plant Tissue Culture and Its Bio-technological Application,
Bartz, et al. (eds). Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. pp 386-391 (1977). Thus, another aspect
or embodiment is to provide cells which upon growth and differentiation produce potato plants
having the physiological and morphological characteristics of potato cultivar FL 2395.
Regeneration refers to the development of a plant from tissue culture. The term “tissue
culture” indicates a composition comprising isolated cells of the same or a different type or a
collection of such cells organized into parts of a plant. Exemplary types of tissue cultures are
protoplasts, calli, plant clumps, and plant cells that can generate tissue culture that are intact in
plants or parts of plants, such as embryos, pollen, flowers, seeds, pods, petioles, leaves, stems,
roots, root tips, anthers, pistils, and the like. Means for preparing and maintaining plant tissue
culture are well known in the art. By way of example, a tissue culture comprising organs has
been used to produce regenerated plants. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,959,185, 5,973,234, and 5,977,445
describe certain techniques, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Industrial Uses
Potato has a wide variety of uses in the commodity area. For example, fresh potatoes can
cooked (fried, baked, boiled, etc). Potatoes can be used to make potato chips, frozen potato items
such as hash/home fries/French fries, dehydrated potato flakes, potato granules, ingredients in
food snacks, potato flour, potato starch, and alcoholic beverages, as well as non-food uses such
as potato starch used by the pharmaceutical, textile, wood, and paper industries as an adhesive,
binder, texture agent, and filler, and by oil drilling firms to wash boreholes. Potato starch can
also be used in place of polystyrene and other plastics disposable dishes and utensils. Potato peel
and other wastes from potato processing can be liquefied and fermented to produce fuel-grade
ethanol. Thus, a further embodiment provides for a food product or non-food product made from
a part of the potato plant variety FL 2395. The food product may be a French fry, potato chip,
dehydrated potato material, potato flakes, or potato granules.
