Book excerpt: The genus Verticillium Nees represents one of the world's major fungal pathogens, affecting crop plants mostly in the cool and warm temperate regions, it also occurs in sub-tropical and tropical areas. There are some six species which cause severe wilting in trees, herbaceous plants and plantation crops. Other species are responsible for non-wilt diseases of banana and mushroom, another species infects insects.The monograph provides a comprehensive reference source on Verticillium, enabling research workers to see what has already been achieved and to identify the many new areas of research in which original contributions could be made to further the understanding and control of this important pathogen and the disease it causes.
Download or read book Improvements to Potato Breeding for Disease Resistance Through the Use of Germplasm Enhancement and Genomic Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potato breeding is a time intensive process, lasting up to 15 years for the release of a marketable cultivar. Breeding starts with selection of germplasm that is equipped with the traits and characteristics the breeder is interested in releasing. Using tools and information at every selection step, breeders can identify superior genotypes for release. A review of literature surrounding potato breeding, genomics, and molecular markers is presented, followed by three research projects pertaining to potato breeding for disease resistance. The release of three germplasm clones containing combined early blight and late blight resistance are discussed in chapter 2. These clones were identified from a cross of tetraploid material with know resistance to each disease, respectively. First sequenced in 2011, the potato genome is still in its infancy. Recent release of the SolCAP SNP chip has contributed to our understanding of the potato's genomic structure, and has allowed breeders and scientists to begin to unravel the connection between genotype and phenotype. In this study, C287, a heterozygous diploid hybrid with resistance to Verticillium wilt, was sequenced using Illumina's hi-seq, paired ends platform. Using the resulting reads, and a genetic modeling tool, Pindel, we showed the absence of a previously unannotated putative resistance gene when compared to sequenced DM1-3 potato genome. Predicted genetic variation was confirmed using PCR primers designed to amplify designated regions shown to be absent in C287. This presence/absence variation may play a role in the resistance of potato species to Verticillium wilt. The use of molecular markers is complicated by wide genetic variation in wild potato species and other less adapted germplasm. In order to assess this variation, we evaluated the usefulness of two CAPS markers that have previously been shown to predict Verticillium wilt resistance. We found that specificity of these markers was further complicated by the existence of homologous gene clusters. Thus, continued efforts are needed to develop strategies to deal with structural and sequence variation within wild potato germplasm.
Download or read book The Potato Crop written by Hugo Campos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book provides a fresh, updated and science-based perspective on the current status and prospects of the diverse array of topics related to the potato, and was written by distinguished scientists with hands-on global experience in research aspects related to potato. The potato is the third most important global food crop in terms of consumption. Being the only vegetatively propagated species among the world’s main five staple crops creates both issues and opportunities for the potato: on the one hand, this constrains the speed of its geographic expansion and its options for international commercialization and distribution when compared with commodity crops such as maize, wheat or rice. On the other, it provides an effective insulation against speculation and unforeseen spikes in commodity prices, since the potato does not represent a good traded on global markets. These two factors highlight the underappreciated and underrated role of the potato as a dependable nutrition security crop, one that can mitigate turmoil in world food supply and demand and political instability in some developing countries. Increasingly, the global role of the potato has expanded from a profitable crop in developing countries to a crop providing income and nutrition security in developing ones. This book will appeal to academics and students of crop sciences, but also policy makers and other stakeholders involved in the potato and its contribution to humankind’s food security.

Download or read book Potato Breeding Theory and Practice written by John E. Bradshaw and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is the world’s fourth most important food crop after maize, rice and wheat with 377 million tonnes fresh-weight of tubers produced in 2016 from 19.2 million hectares of land, in 163 countries, giving a global average yield of 19.6 t ha-1 (http://faostat.fao.org). About 62% of production (234 million tonnes) was in Asia (191), Africa (25) and Latin America (18) as a result of steady increases in recent years, particularly in China and India. As a major food crop, the potato has an important role to play in the United Nations “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” which started on 1 January 2016 (http://faostat.fao.org). By 2030 the aim is to “ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round”. By then, the world population is expected to reach 8.5 billion and continue to increase to 9.7 billion in 2050. For potatoes, the need is to increase production and improve nutritional value during a period of climate change, a key aspect of which will be the breeding of new cultivars for a wide range of target environments and consumers. The aim of the book is to help this endeavour by providing detailed information in three parts on both the theory and practice of potato breeding. Part I deals with the history of potato improvement and with potato genetics. Part II deals with breeding objectives, divided into improving yield, quality traits and resistance to the most important diseases and pests of potatoes. Part III deals with breeding methods: first, the use of landraces and wild relatives of potato in introgression breeding, base broadening and population improvement; second, breeding clonally propagated cultivars as a way to deliver potato improvement to farmers’ fields; third, as an alternative, breeding potato cultivars for propagation through true potato seed; and fourth, gene editing and genetic transformation as ways of making further improvements to already successful and widely grown cultivars. Included are marker-assisted introgression and selection of specific alleles, genomic selection of many unspecified alleles and diploid F1 hybrid breeding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Potato-Breeding Program, 1958 At Plant Industry Station, Beltsville, Md. In 1958 the crossing and selfing was carried out in the usual manner. The ideal weather conditions that prevailed throughout the pollination period aided greatly in obtaining 515 new lines varying from 50 to 1500 seeds per line. The following disease-resistant factors were involved: late blight, scab, ring rot, leaf roll, verticillium wilt brown rot, net necrosis (leaf roll), corky ring spot; viruses X, A, Y, and S; and insect resistance to leafhoppers and nematodes. The main horticultural factors of the parents such as tuber shape, skin color (red, white, and russet), and percentage of total solids were taken into consideration as well as the natural fertility and maturity of the parents. Approximately new seedlings were gram in our greenhouses and tubers and seed were distributed to cooperators from Maine to Washington and Texas, and also Colombia and Mexico.

Book excerpt: In the tradition of Silent Spring, Raoul Robinson's Return to Resistance calls for a revolution. Traditional plant breeding techniques have led us to depend more and more on chemical pesticides to protect ourcrops. Return to Resistance shows gardeners, farmers, and plant breeders how to use a long-neglected technique to create hardy new plant varieties that are naturally resistant to pests and disease. Horizontal resistance breeding has been largely ignored in this century due to the popularity and apparent successes of the Mendelian geneticists. However the colossal, unrecognized failure of m.

Book excerpt: Assists policymakers in evaluating the appropriate scientific methods for detecting unintended changes in food and assessing the potential for adverse health effects from genetically modified products. In this book, the committee recommended that greater scrutiny should be given to foods containing new compounds or unusual amounts of naturally occurring substances, regardless of the method used to create them. The book offers a framework to guide federal agencies in selecting the route of safety assessment. It identifies and recommends several pre- and post-market approaches to guide the assessment of unintended compositional changes that could result from genetically modified foods and research avenues to fill the knowledge gaps.
