Abstract The nuclear genome composition of five asymmetric somatic hybrids, obtained by fusion of leaf protoplasts from Solanum tuberosum and gamma-irradiated leaf protoplasts from S. brevidens, have been analyzed at the molecular level. An analysis of 21 loci using linkage group-specific restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was included in the study. All five hybrids contained a complete set of the loci studied from S. tuberosum. The degree of elimination of alleles from the irradiated S. brevidens donor genome ranged from 10–65% in the five asymmetric hybrids analyzed. The detection of incomplete chromosomes, as well as non-parental bands in Southern hybridizations with RFLP markers, revealed extensive chromosome rearrangements in the asymmetric hybrids.
