1. A diploid, fertile, self-compatible and essentially homozygous potato line comprising plants having an average tuber yield expressed in grams of fresh weight of at least 200 grams per plant, wherein said potato line is of the species Solanum tuberosum optionally comprising introgression segments of other tuber bearing Solanum species crossable to Solanum tuberosum, wherein at least 80% of the genomic loci in the genome of said potato line are homozygous, wherein said self-compatibility in said line is conferred by the S-locus inhibitor (Sli) gene, and wherein a copy of said gene is present in potato lines AGVD1, AGVD2, AGVD3, and AGVD17, representative seeds of said lines having been deposited with the NCIMB under NCIMB accession number 41663, NCIMB accession number 41664, NCIMB accession number 41665, and NCIMB accession number 41765, respectively.
