Our little wild potatoes (Solanum jamesii) have been used in breeding programs to increase drought resistance and cold hardiness of agricultural potatoes! I feel so blessed whenever I meet them in the wild :) Maybe I'll dig some tubers up one day and attempt a breeding program in my own garden! #Solanaceae #Solanum #SolanumJamesii #potato #wildpotato #edibleplants #ethnobotany #arizona #ponderosapineforest #nativeplants #botanize #botany #plants #nature #naturephotography #plantstagram #natureishappiness #blessed #gratitude #science #research #agriculture (at Arizona)
