  • Potato Glossary
    A Potato Glossary A Potato Glossary by Richard E. Tucker Last revised 15 Sep 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Richard E. Tucker Introduction This glossary has been prepared as a companion to A Potato Chronology. In that work, a self-imposed requirement to limit each entry to a single line forced the use of technical phrases, scientific words, jargon and terminology that may be unfamiliar to many, even to those in the potato business. It is hoped that this glossary will aid those using that chronology, and it is hoped that it may become a useful reference for anyone interested in learning more about potatoes, farming and gardening. There was a time, a century or more ago, when nearly everyone was familiar with farming life, the raising of potatoes in particular and the lingo of farming in general. They were farmers themselves, they had relatives who farmed, they knew someone who was a farmer, or they worked on a nearby farm during their youth. Then, nearly everyone grew potatoes in their gardens and sold the extra. But that was a long ago time. Now the general population is now separated from the farm by several generations. Only about 2 % of the US population lives on a farm and only a tiny few more even know anyone who lives on a farm. Words and phrases used by farmers in general and potato growers in particular are now unfamiliar to most Americans. Additionally, farming has become an increasingly complex and technical endeavor. Research on the cutting edge of science is leading to new production techniques, new handling practices, new varieties, new understanding of plant physiology, soil and pest ecology, and other advances too numerous to mention.

Management of late blight on a worldwide scale was conservatively estimated to be 6.7 billion dollars in 2009 (Hu et al., 2012). Fungicides are used to manage late blight since most major potato cultivars lack foliar and tuber resistance (Porter et al., 2004; Miller et al., 2006). The predominant strains of P. infestans impacting potato production have changed over time in the Northwest and across the U.S. The newest strains of P. infestans include US-22, US-23 and US-24 (Danies, 2013). These strains are replacing the US-11 and US-8 strains in some locations. Due to the changing strains of P. infestans infecting potato, it is important for potato breeders to find potato lines with resistance to current and past strains of P. infestans to establish stable resistance. Although the foliage of most major potato cultivars grown in the Pacific Northwest is susceptible to infection by P. infestans, that doesn’t mean the tubers are susceptible.

    DISSERTATION EFFECT OF FARM TO FORK OPERATIONS ON BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS IN WHITE-FLESHED AND COLOR-FLESHED POTATOES Submitted by Fauzi Saleh Massoud Amer Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2015 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Jairam Vanamala Co-Advisor: Martha Stone Lavanya Reddivari David Holm Copyright by Fauzi Saleh Massoud Amer 2015 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT EFFECT OF FARM TO FORK OPERATIONS ON BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS IN WHITE- FLESHED AND COLOR-FLESHED POTATOES The potato, Solanum tuberosum L., is one of the most commonly consumed food crops worldwide, and is the leading vegetable crop in the United States with 69% of per capita consumption as processed potatoes. In addition to micro- and macro-nutrients, color-fleshed potatoes are one of the richest plant sources for health promoting components such as resistant starch, polyphenols, and carotenoids. In contrast, potatoes are well known to contain naturally occurring glycoalkaloids (GA; α-chaconine and α-solanine) and processing-induced acrylamide (AL). Potatoes can be stored up to one year before being processed/consumed and the effect of genotype, storage (4oC or 10oC; 3 or 6 months) and processing (baking and frying) on both toxic and health beneficial compounds remains unknown. We hypothesized that cultivar, storage and processing alters bioactive content in potato tuber and potato products. To test this hypothesis, raw, baked, and chipped of white-, yellow-, red-, and purple-fleshed potatoes from initial (fresh) and stored tubers were evaluated for AL/vitamin C and GAs using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Diode Array Detector (HPLC-DAD/UPLC-DAD), respectively.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION All seed potatoes classified by SASA comply with the requirements of The Seed Potatoes (Scotland) Regulations 2015, The Plant Health Order (Scotland) 2005 and all relevant European Directives in relation to the production and marketing of Pre-basic and basic seed potatoes. Pre-basic seed crops are eligible for inspection if they are planted with potatoes that were classified or had an inspection report issued the previous year as PB (Field Generation 1, 2 or 3) or PBTC (Mini Tubers) that were obtained from propagation units that have been approved by SASA. All initial planting material in these units must have been derived from nuclear stock (pathogen tested microplants) produced by SASA. Pre-basic crops must be grown on land on which potatoes have not been grown in the preceding 7 years and is free from wart disease and potato cyst nematode. Pre-basic crops are classified provided they meet the strict standards for purity and health at two growing crop inspections and meet the tolerances for tuber inspection for disease, pests, damage and defects. Basic seed crops are eligible for inspection if they are planted with potatoes that were classified or had an inspection report issued the previous year at a Basic grade (Field Generation 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6), or the appropriate grade of the Pre-basic category as permitted by the above Regulations. Basic seed crops must be grown on land on which potatoes have not been grown in the preceding 5 years and is free from wart disease and potato cyst nematode. Basic seed crops are classified provided they meet the required standards for purity and health at two growing crop inspections and meet the tolerances for tuber inspection for disease, pests, damage and defects.
