in order to investigate the characteristics of in vitro microtuberization of potato cv. agria in response to the two triazole anti-gibberellin, paclobutrazole and uniconazol, two independent experiment in five concentrations (0, 0.08, 0.16, 0.32, 0.64 mg/l) of each compound were carried out with four replications for each treatment in a completely randomized design. in this experiment percent o...

Calcium is one of the 16 essential elements for plants, being required as Ca2+ and involved in several fundamental processes (namely, stability integrity cell wall, development plant tissue, division, stress responses). Moreover, Ca plays an important role potato production. In this context, study aimed to monitor culture (in situ using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)) mineral content four (Ca, P...

In a series of experiment, the response of two contrasting potato species, namely,  Solanum acaule (tolerant) and Solanum tuberosum cv. Agria (intolerant) to salt (80 mM NaCl) and drought stress (15% polyethylene glycol;PEG) was studied in vitro. Furthermore, the role of acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) (1 and 10 µM) in alleviating oxidative stress was investigated. In Agria cultivar, NaCl and PEG r...

This study was performed in order to determine the distance of isolation for the seed potato production from ware potato in three regions of Ardabil, Namin and Nir. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five distances (100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 meters from ware potato) and three replications with Super Elite (SE) class of Agria potato cultivar from wa...

Potato viruses cause enormous economic loss in agriculture production. Potatoes can be infected by a number of different viruses that affect negatively the harvest and the tuber quality. Direct and effective drugs against plant virus diseases are still not available and control is only applied as agricultural measures and pesticides against virus vectors. Potato virus Y (PVY) is transmitted by ...

OBJECTIVES Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), as a whole food, contains high levels of vitamins and important antioxidants including phenolic acids, carotenoids and flavonoids. The objective of this study was to determine the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of three common potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars in Iran i.e., Savalan, Agria and Sante. MATERIALS AND METHODS Phenol...
