• Disease/pest/abiotic stress/quality improvement – Tuber moth – Viruses: PVY, PLRV, corky ring spot, etc. – Late blight – Columbia root nematode – Frost resistance – Specialty potatoes – Biofortification and biopharmaceuticals?

Research Priorities

•  Identify and use sources of resistance/quality – Elite germplasm – Primitive cultivars, landraces, wild relatives, related species – Multi-trait recurrent selection combined with MAS – Genetic transformation

•  Development and use of genetic markers and mapping populations –  Identification of qualitative and quantitative genes involved in

the traits of interest – Genetic studies

•  Genetic fingerprinting – Genetic diversity evaluation and parental selection – Variety identification

Approaches

Integrated disease/pest management

The causal agent

The host plant Environment

The disease/pest

Integrated approach: agronomic, chemical, biological, genetic

Genetics of cultivated potato

•  Tetraploid (2n= 4x= 48 chromosomes)

–  Four copies of the basic chromosome number (12)

Examples of specialty Potatoes

Specialty potatoes

•  Exotic •  Diversification of markets •  Antioxidants

– Carotenoids (lutein, zexanthin, violaxanthin)

– Phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid) – Flavonoids (catechin, epicatechin,

anthocyanins)
