Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-harvest diseases of potato cause significant loss of product each year. While there are a number of pathogens of concern, oomycete caused diseases can be particularly devastating. These pathogens can spread to healthy but susceptible potato tubers during the harvest process. Current post-harvest fungicide and biocide treatments are limited in efficacy and desirability. There is a need for an effective, non-chemical post-harvest treatment to limit losses of potatoes in storage to oomycete caused diseases. Here, the potential of using ultraviolet-C (UVC) to reduce the incidence of disease was evaluated. Two UVC emitting devices, low-pressure mercury bulbs and pulsed xenon were tested for their ability to reduce disease and for their overall impact on the potato tuber. Low-pressure mercury bulbs significantly reduced incidence of oomycete caused diseases, had no impact on tuber processability or marketability but seemed to impede or delay germination. Pulsed xenon emitted UVC was also efficacious in reducing disease, had no impact on processability or marketability, but did not delay germination, making it the more appropriate of the two for use in seed potatoes. As a vegetatively propagated crop, potato tubers play the role of both the marketable product and the seed for the following seasons' planting. As such, maintaining the integrity and health of the potato tuber both during storage and after being planted in the ground is of the upmost importance. Seed-applied fungicides are used to reduce seed failure and prevent the spread of pathogens from mother to daughter tubers. For reasons of worker safety, seed treatments have transitioned in the last ten years from dry or powdered treatments to liquid seed treatments. With this transition, reports of delayed emergence and reduced stand have increased. Here, the parameters around the use of liquid seed treatments were examined for their effect on stand and yield. It was found that potato cultivar had a large impact on outcome, but that generally, cut, non-suberized seed, treated with a liquid fungicide resulted in a loss of stand. Several active ingredients of liquid fungicide were evaluated with most having a deleterious effect under these seed handling conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted to determine the influence of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) on suberization and wound periderm formation in cut potato tuber tissue, and to determine the effectiveness of DMSO as a potato seedpiece treatment for prevention of seedpiece decay in the field. The influences of tuber storage conditions, varieties, and physiological age were combined with DMSO treatments. Continuous illumination of the tuber tissue plugs, and seed-piece planting in irrigated and non-irrigated soil were also combined with DMSO treatments. DMSO was the most effective in improving suberization and phellogen formation in tuber tissue plugs when plugs were soaked for three minutes in a 4% DMSO solution. Suberization and phellogen formation in plugs cut from tubers immediately upon removal of the tubers from cold storage (2°-7° C.) was superior to that found in plugs from tubers held continuously at room temperature (23°-25°C.). DMSO treatments consistently improved suberization and phellogen formation in plugs from tubers which had been held continuously at room temperature. In these plugs, DMSO treatments resulted in thicker and/or more uniform suberization and phellogen formation than that found in the water controls. However, less influence of DMSO on suberization and phellogen formation was observed in plugs cut from tubers immediately upon removal of the tubers from cold storage. Plugs cut from Norgold tubers after the tubers had been taken from cold storage and pre-warmed 3-4 days showed the greatest influence of DMSO on suberization and phellogen formation. In this tissue, DMSO caused thicker and/or more uniform suberization and phellogen formation than that found in the water controls. DMSO was less effective in influencing suberization and phellogen formation in plugs cut from Russet Burbank and Kennebec tubers which had been held under the same storage conditions as the Norgold tubers. DMSO did not notably or consistently influence suberin and phellogen formation in plugs from tubers of any one physiological age more than another, when evaluation was not made until nine months after harvest. Continuous illumination increased suberization in the plugs, but did not influence the action of DMSO in suberization and phellogen development to any greater extent than that observed in plugs which were not illuminated following preparation. DMSO was not significantly better than water in preventing decay of Russet Burbank and Norgold seedpieces. Russet Burbank seedpieces treated with 16% and 32% DMSO showed a higher incidence of decay than those treated with lesser concentrations of DMSO. Russet Burbank seedpieces treated with DMSO and planted in soil which was well irrigated prior to planting developed thicker suberized and wound periderm layers than seedpieces treated with water alone and planted. Russet Burbank seedpieces treated with DMSO and planted in non-irrigated soil did not develop suberized and wound periderm layers which were any more extensive than that found in seedpieces treated with water alone and planted. Differences in seedpiece decay were not generally correlated with differences in suberization and wound periderm development. Under conditions of the experiment, seedpiece decay in seedpieces treated with 2% DMSO was greater than decay in seedpieces treated with Morsodren and Captan, but was less than decay found in seedpieces treated with Semesan Bel and Captan/DMSO. Plant stand evaluations indicated that DMSO increased the number of stems per hill and stems per plot in seedpieces cut from Russet Burbank tubers immediately after removal of the tubers from cold storage, and in seedpieces cut from Norgold tubers after the tubers had been taken from cold storage and pre -warmed. Seedpieces cut from Russet Burbank tubers after the tubers had been taken from cold storage and pre-warmed generally showed no influence of DMSO on the plant stand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the recent advancements in the role of various biomolecules in regulating root growth and development. Rhizobiology is a dynamic sub discipline of plant science which collates investigations from various aspects like physiology, biochemistry, genetic analysis and plant–microbe interactions. The physiology and molecular mechanisms of root development have undergone significant advancements in the last couple of decades. Apart from the already known conventional phytohormones (IAA, GA, cytokinin, ethylene and ABA), certain novel biomolecules have been considered as potential growth regulators or hormones regulating plant growth and development. Root phenotyping and plasticity analysis with respect to the specific functional mutants of each biomolecule shall provide substantial information on the molecular pathways of root signaling. Special emphasis provides insights on the tolerance and modulatory mechanisms of root physiology in response to light burst, ROS generation, agravitrophic response, abiotic stress and biotic interactions.

Download or read book Solanum tuberosum written by Mustafa Yildiz and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth-largest food crop produced in the world with approximately 370 million tonnes. This product is a staple in many diets throughout the world and the underground swollen tubers of the plant are rich sources of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals (K, Mn, Mg, Fe, Cu and P), and vitamins (C, B1, B3, B6, K, folate, pantothenic acid). Improvement of new potato cultivars resistant to biotic and abiotic factors is extremely important, as these are the main reasons for decreased potato production. Seed tuber production and tuber storage under healthy conditions after harvest are two important issues in potato cultivation. As such, this book discusses the importance of the potato plant and examines ways to increase its production and develop new cultivars resistant to stress factors via conventional and biotechnological methods.
