Pigmented potato cultivars were ranked by a consumer panel for overall acceptance, and acceptance of aroma, appearance, and flavor. Potatoes were analyzed for total phenolics, anthocyanins and carotenoids. Concentrations of total phenolics in yellow and purple potato cultivars were 2-fold greater (P < 0.001) than in the white cultivar. Anthocyanins were low to non-detectable in white and yellow...

Wild potato contains about 100 species that are native to the Americas from the southwestern United States to central Chile and adjacent Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and southern Brazil. We report the occurrence of naturalized populations of the wild potato Solanum chacoense in seven sites in southern Australia, eastern China, England, New Zealand, the eastern United States, central Peru, and ...

Cultivated potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), domesticated from wild Solanum species native to the Andes of southern Peru, possess a diverse gene pool representing more than 100 tuber-bearing relatives (Solanum section Petota). A diversity panel of wild species, landraces, and cultivars was sequenced to assess genetic variation within tuber-bearing Solanum and the impact of domestication on genom...

Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa and Actinidia chinensis) is allergenic to sensitive patients, and, under Japanese regulations, it is one of the food items that are recommended to be declared on food labeling as much as possible. To develop PCR-based methods for the detection of trace amounts of kiwifruit in foods, two primer pairs targeting the ITS-1 region of the Actinidia spp. were designed us...

Polyploidy and hybridization are thought to have significant impacts on both the evolution and diversification of the genus Actinidia, but the structure and patterns of morphology and molecular diversity relating to ploidy variation of wild Actinidia plants remain much less understood. Here, we examine the distribution of morphological variation and ploidy levels along geographic and environmen...

this research was performed in order to study and diagnose potato virus y,potyvirus (pvy), potato virus x,potexvirus (pvx), potato virus s,carlavirus (pvs), potato virus a,potyvirus(pva) and potato leafroll luteovirus (plrv) on tubers and leaves of different potato varieties, namely, solea, safran, floris, proventa, milva, universa, lady olympia, vangogh, and marabel grown in afyon region of tu...

Permeability coefficients (Kp) of nonelectroytes were determined at several temperatures for nonacclimated and acclimated plasma membranes of the frost sensitive Solanum tuberosum and the frost resistant Solanum commersonii. In nonacclimated membranes, Kp were equal at 25 degrees C for the two species. Kp decreased with decreased temperature in both species; however, the decrease was much great...

The above statement may accurately represent the current situation but will very soon be out of date. The last 30 years has seen the emergence of the kiwifruit from being a small but increasing crop in one country to being a crop of worldwide significance. The next few years will see the entry of new and quite different Actinidia fruit into international trade. The kiwifruit (Actinidia delicios...
