Popis: The response of diploid potatoes to growing seasons of high temperatures was studied at two locations in eastern North Carolina. The responses measured were survival, tuberization, and yield. One cycle of phenotypic recurrent selection for yield resulted in increases of 3% for survival, 15% for tuberization, and 27% for yield. Heritability of yield, estimated from selection response, was 0.07 for the combined locations. There was a small positive phenotypic correlation between the responses.
