Thiago Mendes from the International Potato Center, with support from the BOLD Project funded by Norway, is working to develop late blight-resistant potato varieties in Kenya. Using wild potato relatives for resistance ...

Deciphering the mechanisms underlying insecticide resistance is key to devising appropriate strategies against this economically important trait. Myzus persicae, the green peach-potato aphid, is a major pest that has evolved resistance to many ...

The pathogen can grow at a very rapid rate after infection and visible symptoms can appear in a matter of days. If infected tubers enter a store the disease can develop there, ...

The James Hutton Institute (Scotland) has confirmed the extension of funding for the 'Fight Against Blight' (FAB) scheme (https://blight.hutton.ac.uk/BlightReport) for the 2024 season, ensuring the continued protection of Britain’s potato crops against ...

This article explores the innovative efforts at Danespo A/S in potato breeding and production, highlighting their advanced research, mechanization, and the importance of increasing potato consumption.

In a groundbreaking collaboration spanning continents, researchers have developed two new frost-tolerant potato cultivars tailored specifically for the challenging environments of the Andes and the Altiplano. This monumental achievement, born out of ...

Maria YEROKHOVA Researcher, All-Russian Phytopathology Research Institute e-mail: maria.erokhova@gmail.com Despite the significant progress in investigating the potato late blight and putting control options into practice, based on knowledge on the plant pathogen, ...

irst and foremost challenge before the institute is to enable the country to achieve potato production of 125 million t at an ACGR of 3.2% with the help of 34.51 t/ha productivity ...

During last 65 years of its existence, the institute developed need-based technologies that triggered a revolution in potato production on account of very fast growth in area and productivity. A few breakthrough ...

A simple breeding experiment, combined with genetic analysis, can rapidly uncover genes that promote cooperation and higher yields of plant populations, according to a new study published November 29 in the open ...

According to an article published in the recently released International Potato Center’s (CIP) Annual Report 2021, potato is a mainstay of the diet of many people in the Republic of Georgia, eaten almost daily and ...

The works, which will contribute to the INIA Potato Genetic Improvement Program, will be carried out by the INIA Remehue researcher

Abstract Potato wart disease is considered one of the most important quarantine pests for cultivated potato and is caused by the obligate biotrophic chytrid fungus Synchytrium endobioticum. This review integrates observations from early potato ...

Along with the paradigm shift in food worldwide, the consumer is also more open to trying different foods, for example, colored potatoes.

Part of the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS), the U.S. Potato Genebank has for more than six decades collected and maintained a massive collection of potato genetics.

A recent paper in the journal Potato Research highlights the chlorpropham (CIPC) ban and the weaknesses and limited sustainability of global and local systems based on synthetically produced substances. But what are the current alternatives ...

Blight is the bane of potato growing and experts warn that, long-term, pressure in the UK is only set to rise.  Agronomist and Arable Farmer asked a specialist agronomist, a grower and a crop ...

Blight is the bane of potato growing and experts warn that, long-term, pressure in the UK is only set to rise.

demonstrate the tolerance of some varieties after having subjected them to a water deficit

Our Fight Against Blight programme started in 2004 and since then ‘blight scouts’ have sent in over 10,000 samples of potentially blight infested potato plants for genotyping. Each year the results are ...

Only a limited number of specific resistance genes are available for the breeding of phytophthora-resistant potato varieties.

It is common to think that food crops are going to suffer negative effects due to the increase in global temperatures or the water deficit generated by climate change, however, the potential ...

A new study published in Plant Pathology identifies for the first time the genotypes of P. infestans, causing late blight in the main potato-growing regions in Java, Indonesia. Potato late blight disease ...
