The effects of two mineral and two organic acids, four organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, 2-propano and acetone) and three inorganic metal salts in combination with temperature regimes 0 and 22C on the yield and resolubility of potato tuber proteins were studied. Using acids, the yield of precipitated protein ranged from 22.3% (citric acid, 0C) to 54.5% (acetic acid, 22C) of total protein; ho...

potato (solanum tuberosum l.) cultivation in two different climates causes difference in its growth process.the most frequently used indicators of growth for plants are the tuber growth rate (tgr), crop growth rate (cgr) and leaf area index (lai). shoot dry weight is the easiest, quickest and least costly component to measure the competitive features of plants.the results of some studies showed...

The molecular marker (SSR) has been used to investigate the markers associated with the agronomic traits including days to 50% flowering, tube ring time, days to maturity, plant height, the number of main stems per plant, the number of tubers per plant, dry matter content, main stem diameter, a single tuber weight, average single tuber weight, and the total yield in potato genotypes. Ten primer...

this study aimed at evaluating some quantitative and qualitative properties of potato as one of the main commercial products in iran. to this end, a split plot experiment on the basis of randomized complete bloke design with silicone and iron was carried out in jiroft as one of the commercial area of planting potatoes. the main factor included different levels of silicon (0, 10, 20, 30 mm.l-1) ...

Our objective was to define sensitive morphological indicators that could be used to discriminate between drought sensitive and drought tolerant potato cultivars before final tuber yield is reached. A total of six potato cultivars contrasting for drought tolerance and earliness were subjected to three levels of water supply in two field trials in 1995 and 1996. We examined which parameter among...
