Toward an art of genomic selection in vegetable breeding
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a powerful strategy for accelerating genetic gain in plant breeding. While in recent years GS has been widely adopted in breeding programs for agronomic crops, its implementation in vegetable breeding has been comparatively limited.

Seed degeneration in potato : the need for an integrated seed health strategy to mitigate the problem in developing countries [PDF]
Seed potato degeneration, the reduction in yield or quality caused by an accumulation of pathogens and pests in planting material due to successive cycles of vegetative propagation, has been a long-standing production challenge for potato growers around ...

Applying large language models to extract information from crop trait prioritization studies
Investigation of farmers', consumers', and other stakeholders' trait preferences is vital for the adoption and impact of improved crop varieties. While qualitative research methods are known to increase the depth and scope of information from respondents, only 5% of previous trait preference studies used qualitative data in their analyses. We show that

Abstract Background Icelandic horses are valued for their additional gaits, but assessing lameness in this breed can be challenging. Pelvic (P) vertical movement asymmetries, differences (D) in minimum (min)/maximum (max) position, are used to quantify impact (PDmin) and push‐off (PDmax) hindlimb lameness during the trot, but no established parameters ...

New Mechanisms of Resistance to CAA and OSBPI Fungicides in Phytophthora infestans
This study presents the first report of the mechanism behind mandipropamid resistance in Phytophthora infestans, the newly discovered presence of combined resistance to CAAs and OXTP in potato fields and recommendations for revised fungicide management strategies for potato late blight control. ABSTRACT Field observations from Denmark in 2021 suggested

Modulatory role of nitric oxide in wound healing of potato tubers
IntroductionWounding of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers affects the postharvest storage qualities and marketability. To mitigate wound-related losses, it is necessary to accelerate wound healing (WH) responses of potato tubers.

MICROPROPAGATION OF POTATO (Solanum tuberosum L.) cv. GRANOLA IN LIQUID MEDIUM USING AERATION SYSTEM FOR G0 SEED PRODUCTION [PDF]
Disease-free potato seeds of high quality can be obtained via in vitro culture. The use of liquid medium during in vitro cultures might boost the number of plantlets produced, however, the problem of hyperhydricity in plantlets was often encountered ...
