This study was performed to investigate the quality characteristics of noodles made from four different potato varieties: Atlantic, Go-un, Sae-bong, Jin-sun, and wheat flour. Quality characteristics of five noodles were analyzed by general components analysis, cooking quality (rate of water absorption, cooking loss, and volume increase), and mechanical textural properties. Some variations exist...

Potato Virus Y (PVY) is a member of the Potyviridae family – the largest plant virus family. PVY infects Solanaceae – agriculturally important species such as tobacco, potato, pepper, tomato This pathogen causes decrease in yield and quality. PVY isolates have been divided into three main strains: PVYN, PVYO and PVYC, according to the symptoms induced on tobacco and potato. PVYN isolates can be...

Sweet potato is grown extensively from tropical to temperate regions and is an important food crop worldwide. In this study, we established detection methods for 17 major sweet potato viruses using single and multiplex RT-PCR assays. To investigate the current incidence of viral diseases, we collected 154 samples of various sweet potato cultivars showing virus-like symptoms from 40 fields in 10...

ČERNÁ, M., KRÁČMAR, S.: The eff ect of storage on the amino acids composition in potato tubers. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2010, LVIII, No. 5, pp. 49–56 The aim of this study was to investigate the eff ect of storage duration on amino acids content in potato tubers. Tubers of six cultivars were stored for 16 weeks. Crude protein was determined by the Kjeldahl method. The amino ...

The present investigation was conducted to develop a protocol for rapid plant regeneration in potato. The newly emerge sprout of six potato cultivars were used as explant. Varietal response on in vitro regeneration under different hormonal concentration and combination were studied. MS medium supplemented with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0 mg L of KIN and IAA in combination of both were employed for ...

The enzymatic starch hydrolysis and bioethanol production from a variety of sweet potato developed for bioenergy purposes (K 9807.1) on the basis of its high starch yields, was studied. Drying at 55°C and 95°C of sweet potato neither affected the sugar content nor the starch enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency. Simultaneous saccharification and ethanol fermentations for dry matter ratio of sweet po...

using modern irrigation methods such as border irrigation is one way for an optimum usage of water. potato, for this study, was cultured in a farm located at kermanshah faculty of agriculture to evaluate the efficiency of border irrigation. the culture potato was the agria variety and the applied treatment were 50, 75, and 100 percent of potato plant`s water requirement. tapes were 12 m and the...
