Solanum acaule is a species of wild potato in the family Solanaceae, native to Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile, and northwestern Argentina.^[1] It is being extensively studied for its resistance to Phytophthora infestans (the cause of late potato blight), Potato leafroll virus, Potato virus X, Potato virus Y, potato cyst nematodes, and frost, in an effort to improve the domestic potato Solanum tuberosum.^[2]^[3]
