Twenty Russet Burbank seed lots were collected from
four states and one Canadian Province in 1988 and planted in
replicated trails at Powell Butte and Hermiston, Oregon as
part of a two year study to quantify clonal differences in
the cultivar. Samples of each seed lot were concurrently
increased and...
Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) causes yield and quality losses in
potato. PLRV is identified by plant symptoms and serological tests
such as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A similar
serological test, direct tissue blotting assay (DTBA), was used to
detect and monitor PLRV movement in field-inoculated Russet Burbank
plants and...
Russet Burbank, Russet Norkotah, and Shepody tubers infected with Potato virus Y strains (PVYO, PVYN:O, PVYNTN) were tested from storage at 4A degrees C at the initiation of sprouting and then the same tubers were tested again from storage at 4A degrees C seventy eight days later. Samples were taken...
Huckleberry Gold is a purple-skin, yellow-flesh fresh market cultivar with similar culinary qualities to the market standard Yukon Gold. It has lower specific gravity, sucrose and vitamin C content, but a significantly higher level of tuber antioxidants than Yukon Gold. Notable disease resistant characteristics are Potato virus X resistance based...
The diversity of traits in varieties of potato outside of its South American birthplace is a small subset of that available in the Andean center of origin. Among the traits that evoke most interest are skin and flesh pigments. Recent studies have pointed to the high antioxidant activity and potential...
Processed potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) products, such as chips and French fries, contribute to the dietary intake of acrylamide, a suspected human carcinogen. One of the most promising approaches for reducing its consumption is to develop and commercialize new potato varieties with low acrylamide-forming potential. To facilitate this effort, a...

ABSTRACT
Processed potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) products, such as chips and French fries, contribute to the dietary intake of acrylamide, a suspected human carcinogen. One of the most promising approaches for reducing its consumption is to develop and commercialize new potato varieties with low acrylamide-forming potential. To facilitate this effort, a...
