Screening for PVYN-Wi Resistance in Kenyan Potato Cultivars

A Novel Recombined Potato virus Y Isolate in China

This study reports the findings of a distinct Potato virus Y (PVY) isolate found in Northeast China. One hundred and ten samples (leaves and tubers) were collected from potato plants showing mosaic symptoms around the city of Harbin in Heilongjiang province of China. The collected tubers were planted and let to grow in a greenhouse. New potato plants generated from these tubers showed similar s...

Classification of Potato Cultivars to Establish

Growth and Yield of Potato Cultivars

21 century. Such an increase in the atmospheric CO may effect plant growth and productivity of crop plants. st 2 A field experiment was conducted with two potato cultivars namely Kufri Surya and Kufri Chipsona-3 grown inside Open Top Chambers (OTCs) at ambient (385±30 μmol mol ) and elevated CO (570±50 μmol mol ), 1 1 2 during rabi season of the year 2009-2010. The experiment was planned in a r...

Potato cultivars from the mexican national program: sources and durability of resistance against late blight.

ABSTRACT The Mexican National Potato Program has produced several cultivars with high levels of field resistance. We evaluated the durability of resistance to potato late blight of a selection of 12 such cultivars using data from 1960 to the present. Data were extracted from the field notebooks located in the archives of the Mexican National Potato Program in the John S. Niederhauser Library in...

In vitro microtuberization in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars.

Mechanism of microtuberization in three elite cultivars kufri badhsha (KB), kufri chandramukhi (KCM) and kufri jawahar (KJ) of potato was studied. Sprouts of all the three cultivars were used to obtain in vitro shoot cultures. MS medium supplemented with chlorocholine chloride was found to be most suitable for all the cultivars. Maximum tuberization was obtained under incubation conditions of c...
