Cooperation of the Inter-Regional Potato Introduction Project (IR-1) in providing Solanum materials is acknowledged. This investigation is supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

The frequency of haploids in maize is affected by the choice of both the pistillate and the "pollen" parents (2). Previous work with the potato indicated the possibility of similar results (5). This report is thus concerned with:
