  • A Cellulose Binding Domain Protein Restores Female Fertility When Expressed in Transgenic Bintje Potato Richard W
    Jones and Perez BMC Res Notes (2016) 9:176 DOI 10.1186/s13104-016-1978-6 BMC Research Notes RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A cellulose binding domain protein restores female fertility when expressed in transgenic Bintje potato Richard W. Jones* and Frances G. Perez Abstract Background: Expression of a gene encoding the family 1 cellulose binding domain protein CBD1, identified in the cellulosic cell wall of the potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans, was tested in transgenic potato to deter- mine if it had an influence on plant cell walls and resistance to late blight. Results: Multiple regenerants of potato (cv. Bintje) were developed and selected for high expression of CBD 1 transcripts. Tests with detached leaflets showed no evidence of increased or decreased resistance to P. infestans, in comparison with the blight susceptible Bintje controls, however, changes in plant morphology were evident in CBD 1 transgenics. Plant height increases were evident, and most importantly, the ability to produce seed berries from a previously sterile cultivar. Immunolocalization of CBD 1 in seed berries revealed the presence throughout the tissue. While Bintje control plants are male and female sterile, CBD 1 transgenics were female fertile. Crosses made using pol- len from the late blight resistant Sarpo Mira and transgenic CBD1 Bintje as the female parent demonstrated the ability to introgress P. infestans targeted resistance genes, as well as genes responsible for color and tuber shape, into Bintje germplasm. Conclusions: A family 1 cellulose-binding domain (CBD 1) encoding gene from the potato late blight pathogen P. infestans was used to develop transgenic Bintje potato plants.

  • Identifying Novel Diagnostic SNP Markers for Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) Tuber Starch and Yield by Association Mapping
    Identifying novel diagnostic SNP markers for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber starch and yield by association mapping Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakult¨at der Universit¨atzu K¨oln vorgelegt von Elske Maria Sch¨onhals aus Kirchheimbolanden K¨oln,2014 Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde am Max-Planck-Institut f¨ur Pflanzenz¨uchtungsforschung in der Abteilung f¨urPflanzenz¨uchtung und Genetik (Direktor Prof. Dr. Maarten Koornneef) angefertigt. Berichterstatter PD Dr. Christane Gebhardt (Gutachter) Prof. Dr. Martin H¨ulskamp Tag der m¨undlichen Pr¨ufung 28.05.2014 Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve. Max Planck (1932) Abstract The starch of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers is a renewable resource and an im- portant component of multiple food and non-food products. Optimized starch yield, the product of tuber starch content and tuber yield, is therefore the central selection criterion in breeding programs for starch potatoes. The aim of this work was the detection of di- agnostic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for starch yield optimization by marker-assisted selection. A novel association mapping population of 282 potato genotypes formed the basis of this thesis. Within a collaborative project with breeders, this population was assembled and phenotyped in replicated field trials in Northern Spain for the starch yield determining traits tuber starch content, tuber yield, weight and number. The population was geno- typed for known diagnostic PCR markers, SSR markers and novel SNPs in candidate genes, which were reported in the literature to have a function in starch or yield accumulation in potato or other organisms.

Desiree, Agria and Marfona) by human proinsulin gene Kimia Kashani 1, Mokhtar Jalali Javaran 1* , Mehdi Mohebodini 2, Ahmad Moieni 1, Maryam Sheikhi Deh Abadi 1 1Department of Plant Breeding and Biotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran 2Department of Horticulture Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Iran * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract It is expected that the increasing outbreaks of diabetes mellitus along with introducing alternative of present insulin consumption methods, will result in increasing the demand of such a drug in future. Plant systems have high potential to produce safe, economical, inexpensive and large-scale biopharmaceuticals and potato is one of the most important bioreactors, globally. Most Agrobacterium - mediated transformation procedures referred to in the literatures have proven to be inefficient for the transformation of Agria and Marfona potato cultivars. In this study a novel one- step method was demonstrated for the transformation of the internodal explants of these cultivars. Using this method, human proinsulin gene was expressed in the transgenic potato plants. In this research, the DNA sequence of Immunoglobulin G binding protein taken from Staphylococcus aureus was infused to the human proinsulin gene and this construct was then transferred to the nuclear genome of potato via Agrobacterium -mediated transformation. Assessment of the transgenic plants was carried out in 3 levels of DNA, RNA and protein. Gel analysis of the PCR and RT-PCR products showed a single 500 bp band in the transgenic potato lines.

  • 2018 Potato Postharvest Processing Evaluation Report
    Postharvest Processing Evaluation of Alaska Grown Potatoes A Specialty Crop Block Grant Project Introduction Potatoes have long been a staple produce of Alaskan agriculture. Between the years 2009-2016 Alaska growers have produced between 130,000 to 155,000 cwt annually amounting to over 2 million dollars in sales each year (2017 Alaska Annual Bulletin). There has been increasing interest in the use of Alaska Grown potatoes for processing in the local chipping and restaurant market, but this effort hasn’t been supported with data on the processing quality of our locally produced potatoes. To better meet the needs of the food service industries and to promote a growing market for producers, the Alaska Plant Materials Center (PMC) undertook a postharvest evaluation on our collection of potato varieties grown on site in Palmer, Alaska. The results of this research present timely and relevant data to Alaskan growers, processors and consumers. On a national level, the processing industry accounts for nearly 60% of potatoes produced annually. This trend has caused potato breeders to select for processing qualities, and quite a few processing cultivars have been recently registered and released for use. Although some of these newer varieties are grown here in Alaska, they have not been evaluated and compared to the data collected by growers in other regions or compared to established varieties that are known to do well here. Even if the physical qualities of the varieties were comparable to those grown elsewhere, Alaska is unlikely to compete in the national processing market because of our distance from any commercial processing facility and the small “family farm” scale of operation.

  • 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.

Some of these concerns can be attributed to agricultural crop management. This project was comprised of research, demonstration, and outreach to address strategies that can be used to minimize or reduce nitrate leaching and phosphorus runoff in agricultural settings. Research evaluating slowed nitrogen transformation products, nitrogen application timing, and nitrogen rates was conducted on potatoes, kidney beans, and corn under irrigation on sandy soils. For potatoes, variety response to nitrogen rate, source, and timing was also evaluated. Results showed several nitrogen management approaches reduced nitrate leaching while maintaining economic yields. Based on these results, promising treatments were demonstrated at a field scale using cost share monies. In some cases, producers tested or adopted new practices without the cost share incentive. • For potatoes, results show that at equivalent nitrogen rates, use of slow release nitrogen reduced nitrate leaching on average by 20 lb nitrogen per acre.
