Origin and Breeding History
'AAC Canada Gold-Dorée' (experimental designations 'F10082' and '15777-02') originated from a controlled cross made in 2008, in Fredericton, New Brunswick, between the selection designated 'N0634-07', as the female parent, and the variety 'AC Chaleur', as the male parent.
In 2009, true potato seed from this cross was sown in a greenhouse, and the resulting seedling tubers were planted in 2010 for evaluation and selection, at the Benton Research Substation of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, in Fredericton.
'AAC Canada Gold-Dorée' was selected in 2010 from a single hill trial at the Benton Research Substation for its vine maturity, tuber appearance, shape, and size.
