2014 - Identification of Late Blight Resistance-Related Metabolites and Genes in Potato through Nontargeted Metabolomics

Doddaraju Pushpa - Kalenahalli N. Yogendra - Raghavendra Gunnaiah - Ajjamada C. Kushalappa - Agnes Murphy

Late blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum) caused byPhytophthora infestanssignificantly reduces the productivity of potato around the world. Resistance to late blight in potato is either qualitative or quantitative. Qualitative resistance governed by race-specific singleRgenes is well characterized and gives complete resistance, but is not durable.

2014 - Quantitative resistance in potato leaves to late blight associated with induced hydroxycinnamic acid amides

Kalenahalli N. Yogendra - Doddaraju Pushpa - Kareem A. Mosa - Ajjamada C. Kushalappa - Agnes Murphy - Teresa Mosquera

Late blight is a serious economic threat to potato crop, sometimes leading to complete crop loss. The resistance in potato to late blight can be qualitative or quantitative in nature. Qualitative resistance is not durable. Though quantitative resistance is durable, the breeding is challenging due to polygenic inheritance.

Plants continuously encounter various environmental stresses and use qualitative and quantitative measures to resist pathogen attack. Qualitative stress responses, based on monogenic inheritance, have been elucidated and successfully used in plant improvement.

2012 - Potatoes and Human Health

MARY ELLEN CAMIRE, STAN KUBOW and DANIELLE J. DONNELLY

The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber follows only rice and wheat in world importance as a food crop for human consumption. Cultivated potatoes have spread from the Andes of South America where they originated to 160 countries around the world. Consumption of fresh potatoes has declined while processed products have increased in popularity. As the potato becomes a staple in the diets of an increasing number of humans, small differences in potato nutritional composition will have major impacts on population health.
