Expression of atrial natriuretic factor in transgenic potatoes
… natriuretic factor, ANF-(1-126), in transgenic potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L. cultivar Iwa). Four ANF gene fusions were constructed for extracellular expression of ANF-(1-126) either by retaining the native signal peptide of ANF or replacing it with the secretory signal of a pathogenesis-related …

Microstructural and fluid transport properties of potatoes during frying
Microstructural and transport properties are the key determinants to understand the product quality, oil uptake and moisture loss during frying of foods. Besides, permeability is also an important physical property for studying the transport mechanisms of porous foods when pressure driven flow is …

Nondestructive Detection of Hollow Heart in Potatoes Using Ultrasonics
… techniques were used to detect hollow heart in potatoes nondestructively. Fifty Russet Burbank potatoes were evaluated physically and sonically. A pair of dry-coupling 50-kHz ultrasonic transducers were used to generate an ultrasonic pulse with a power level of 0.22 W for the test of acoustic …

Staple Crop Diversity and Risk Mitigation - Potatoes in Bolivia
… Cochabamba city produce (among other things) potatoes for market and home consumption; the potato is the main source of food and income for most residents. Previous studies and anecdotal evidence have shown that Andean potato farmers may plant upwards of 10 varieties of potatoes on small …

Endophytic Actinomycetes as potential agents to control common scab of potatoes
<p>Potato marketability and tuber quality can be decreased upon infection by a pathogen, <em>Streptomyces scabies.</em> Current disease control consists of expensive irrigation systems and using hazardous chemicals, which exert limited disease control and are potential hazards to those exposed. …

Sweet potatoes and mung bean flour as ingredients in yeast bread
Yeast breads were prepared with three levels of mashed sweet potato pulp and of mung bean flour. Nine combinations of mashed sweet potato pulp (10, 20, 30 percent), and of mung bean flour (4, 8, 16 percent) substitutions for wheat flour were used to determine the acceptability of these enriched …

Characterization of Alternaria alternata isolates causing brown spot of potatoes in South Africa
… the causal agent of brown spot and black pit of potatoes. Brown spot is a foliar disease with potential to cause 30% yield loss and postharvest losses of up to 10%. Losses are mainly due to premature defoliation. In this study, morphological and epidemiological characteristics of A. alternata …

Application of silicon to improve yield and quality of potatoes (Solanum Tuberrosum L.)
… crises suggested root and tuber crops such as potatoes to be the solution to the problem of food shortage. The crop is widely cultivated but is difficult to produce due to susceptibility to numerous pests and pathogenic organisms, as well as abiotic stresses. To control these pests and …

Assessment of Agricultural Products Pricing with Reference to Irish Potatoes in Njombe District, Tanzania
… study findings show that, the problem of Irish potatoes pricing is left to be decided by petty traders on their interest of profit making, on the ignorance of farmers pricing techniques; no steps has been taken by LGA to tackle the problem. The study suggested that some measures be taken by the …

The role of genomic islands in virulence of Pectobacterium carotovorum subspecies brasiliensis on potatoes
… strains associated with blackleg disease of potatoes were compared to those of non-blackleg causing strains, to identify GIs in blackleg causing strains and novel virulence factors encoded on these islands. First, the identity of a highly aggressive P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum strain …

Effects of polyacrylamide (PAM) and gypsum on irrigated and dryland potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.).
… gypsum on the growth and yield of 'Ilam Hardy' potatoes in 2001-2002. At the final harvest, tuber yields were similar (59 500 kg ha⁻¹). Environmental factors dominated results, particularly January rainfall, which was 150% of the 16-year average. Economic yield (tubers> 113g) was not affected by …

Comparison of microwave and conventional frying on quality attributes and fat uptake in potatoes
Oil content is an important quality attribute in fried products. Oil uptake is influenced by several interdependent factors that define the final oil content in a fried product. In this study microwave frying was investigated for its potential in reducing fat content of fried foods. A comparative …

Exploring candidate genes and rhizosphere microbiome in relation to iron cycling in Andean potatoes
Fe biofortification of potato is a promising strategy to prevent Fe deficiency worldwide either through traditional breeding or biotechnological approaches. These approaches require the identification of candidate genes to uptake, transport and store Fe in potato tubers. We employed multiple …

Quantification and characterization of the Streptomyces complex causing common scab of potatoes in South Africa
… that results in corky lesions on the surface of potatoes. These lesions can be variable in size, shape and as a result of secondary infection may appear extremely cryptic. The disease is caused by Streptomyces, a group of Actinomycetes that are largely saprophytic. For this reason lesions may …
