while the best varieties have proportions of about 28 % amylose to 72 % amylopectin , clones with 30-33 % amylose could be found among cultivated potatoes.a positive correlation between amylose content of the parents and their progeny after selfing , crosses between sibs , and of the mentioned amylose-rich clones with 2 x or 4 xs . tuberosum could be ascertained.a weak negative correlation between the amount of starch content and amylose conten was found which , however , need not be a deterrent to successful breeding .
