Abstract by Derek James Herman, Ph.D. Washington State University December 2016 Chair: N. Richard Knowles Controlling tuber size distribution and the propensity for low temperature sweetening (LTS) of processing potatoes are key to optimizing quality and maximizing crop value. My research focused on (1) developing methods to increase tuber set and shift tuber size distribution in cv. Bondi, (2) investigating how low O 2 storage modulates LTS of cvs. Innovator and Russet Burbank, (3) screening cultivars for tolerance to heat stress for retention of LTS-resistant phenotype and (4) determining the mechanism by which heat stress abolishes resistance to LTS. Bondi produces vigorous foliar growth, low tuber set and high yields of large tubers that frequently exceed optimum size for seed and processing markets. We evaluated several methods for altering apical dominance, tuber set and size distribution of Bondi and its maternal parent, Ranger Russet. Gibberellic acid (GA) applied to cut seed prior to planting reduced apical dominance, increased tuber set and decreased average tuber size; however, the optimal concentration to maximally shift tuber size distribution without decreasing marketable yield was iv 4-5-fold greater for Bondi than Ranger. The reduced sensitivity of Bondi to GA was likely inherited from its paternal parent Karaka, which displays similar morphological and developmental traits, indicative of high levels of endogenous GA. Russet Burbank and Innovator are frozen processing cultivars with inherently different susceptibilities to LTS. Here we show how low O 2 storage modulates cold-induced sweetening to reveal metabolic differences in LTS metabolism intrinsic to these cultivars. While storage of tubers in 2.5 kPa O 2 greatly attenuated the initial LTS responses for both cultivars, the effect was only temporary in Innovator. Low O 2 attenuated LTS by inhibiting invertase. Heat stress exacerbated cold-induced sweetening of Ranger and Russet Burbank tubers (LTS-susceptible cultivars), and abolished the inherent LTS-resistance of Sage Russet, GemStar Russet, POR06V12-3 and A02138-2 tubers. Heat stress rendered invertase cold-inducible in the LTS-resistant but non-heat tolerant cultivars/clones. Payette and its maternal parent EGA09702- 2, however, demonstrated considerable tolerance to heat stress for retention of LTS-resistance. Payette’s heat tolerance was conferred by the lack of cold-induction of invertase, similar to Innate ® Russet Burbank (W8) tubers, where silenced invertase activity conferred robust tolerance to heat stress. v Table of Contents Page Acknowledgements………………………………………………………………………… iii Abstract…………………………………………………………………………………….. iv List of Tables……………………………………………………………………………….. x List of Figures………………………………………………………………………………. xi Abbreviations……………………………………………………………………………….. xiii Introduction…………………………………………………………………………………. 1 References………………………………………………………………………………. 5 Chapter 1 : DIFFERENTIAL SENSITIVITIES OF GENETICALLY RELATED POTATO CULTIVARS TO TREATMENTS DESIGNED TO ALTER APICAL DOMINANCE , TUBER SET AND SIZE DISTRIBUTION Abstract…………………………………………………………………………………. 8 Introduction……………………………………………………………………………... 10 Materials and Methods………………………………………………………………….. 13 Synopsis of Trials…………………………………………………………………… 13 Seed Preparation and Treatments…………………………………………………… 14 Field Plot Design and Maintenance………………………………………………… 15 Plant Establishment, Stem Counts, Harvesting and Sorting………………………... 15 Data Analysis and Presentation……………………………………………………... 16 Results…………………………………………………………………………………... 16 GA x BA Dose Response…………………………………………………………… 16 CV x GA Dose Response…………………………………………………………… 18 GA x Seed Age Response…………………………………………………………... 22 vi Discussion………………………………………………………………………………. 24 Acknowledgements……………………………………………………………………... 29 References………………………………………………………………………………. 30 Figures and Tables……………………………………………………………………… 36 Chapter 2: LOW OXYGEN STORAGE MODULATES INVERTASE ACTIVITY TO ATTENUATE COLD -INDUCED SWEETENING AND LOSS OF PROCESS QUALITY IN POTATO (Solanum tuberosum L.)

  • Potatoes in the Home Garden
    for the Gardener Growing Potatoes in the Home Garden f you could cultivate a vegetable crop that could be grown in almost every climate (except hot tropical zones) from sea level to 15,000 feet, could be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, prepared in a myriad of ways, be easily kept Iwithout processing or refrigeration for up to 6-8 months, produced high yields (2-5 pounds per square foot) and was extremely nutritious (high in protein, vitamin C, niacin, B vitamins, iron and energy) but low in calories (sans butter and sour cream), you would wouldn’t you? If you did you would be in the minority of home gardeners. Most gardeners eschew the illustrious “spud” (Solanum tuberosum), thinking it doesn’t warrant space in the small garden and that home grown potatoes don’t taste much better than their store-bought counterparts. Not true! Wrong on both counts. Solanum tuberosum (the Andean potato) originated in the highlands of the Andes mountain ranges of South America (Peru, Columbia, Ecuador, Bolivia) at elevations up to 15,000 feet. Potatoes have been in cultivation for more than 2000 years and there are more than 2,000-3,000 Beveridge Melisa varieties extant today. It is an herbaceous perennial in its native habitat, but treated as a tender annual in the temperate zones and damaged by frost at 28-30°F. The plant’s only edible portions are the tubers produced underground, apically (at the tip) on stolons (horizontal underground stems; see drawing at right). While potatoes produce viable seed, the genetic makeup of sexually- produced plants is so diverse and variable (heterozygous) that production from this seed is negligible.

    sustainability Review Effect of Organic Potato Farming on Human and Environmental Health and Benefits from New Plant Breeding Techniques. Is It Only a Matter of Public Acceptance? Daniela Pacifico * and Roberta Paris Council for Agricultural Research and Economics Analysis (CREA), Centre for Research on Industrial Crops, Via di Corticella, 133, 40128 Bologna, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: daniela.pacifi[email protected]; Tel.: +39-051-631-6811 Academic Editor: Gerhart U. Ryffel Received: 26 July 2016; Accepted: 13 October 2016; Published: 20 October 2016 Abstract: Organic farming practices are commonly thought to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture and to preserve the naturalness of the products. Herein, we report the effect of crop management practices on nutritional and toxicological value of potato tubers. Comparative studies are often controversial and the results are dependent on genotype and methodological approach. Targeted analysis and “omics” strategies are discussed, pointing at the nutritional aspects and the corresponding biological and molecular processes involved. Organic farming supporters still do not accept the use of genetic modification to produce new varieties suited for organic agriculture and crop improvement by genetic engineering still sparks hot debate among various scientific and social factions whose major concern is the possible existence of unintended effects both on human and world health. In this context, the advent of “new plant breeding techniques” has reignited the discussion on genetic engineering and on the compatibility of the new technologies with an eco-friendly agriculture. Could cisgenic and genome-edited potatoes be new good options for organic agriculture? We discuss how these approaches can be used to address food security challenges and to overcome specific problems based on the biological characteristics of potato tubers, producing new varieties that can improve farmers’ profit with a lower impact on public opinion.
