Due to the high genetic variability of potato, starch can exhibit different properties interest industry. With present investigation, it is intended know these differentiating characteristics in comparison with commercial sources that be useful sectors. Therefore, objective this research was establish a between potato starches extracted from native varieties (Solanum phureja) and corn starches....

Solanum phureja es una variedad andina de papa con un alto potencial exportación, gracias a sus propiedades nutricionales, organolépticas y funcionales; sin embargo, su tiempo vida en percha muy reducido. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar el tratamiento este tubérculo radiación gamma para retardar la brotación. Se empleó diseño factorial 4×2 seleccionar mejor combinación dosis (0, 8...

In plants, the most widely used cytological techniques to assess parental genome contributions are based on in situ hybridization (FISH and GISH), but they are time-consuming and need specific expertise and equipment. Recent advances in genomics and molecular biology have made PCR-based markers a straightforward, affordable technique for chromosome typing. Here, we describe the development of a...

After wheat and rice, potato is the third most important staple food worldwide. A collection of ten tetraploid (Solanum tuberosum) and diploid (S. phureja and S. chacoense) genotypes with contrasting carotenoid content was subjected to molecular characterization with respect to candidate carotenoid loci and metabolic profiling using LC-HRMS. Irrespective of ploidy and taxonomy, tubers of these ...

The PIN family of trans-membrane proteins mediates auxin efflux throughout the plant and during various phases of plant development. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the PIN family comprised of 8 members, divided into "short" and "long" PINs according to the length of the hydrophilic domain of the protein. Based on sequence homology using the recently published potato genome sequence (Solanum tuberosum...
