Collective action for innovation and small farmer market access: The Papa Andina experience [PDF]
"The Andean highlands are home to some of the poorest rural households in South America. Native potato varieties and local knowledge for their cultivation and use are unique resources possessed by farmers in these areas.

Using herbarium collections to study genetic responses to global change
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Earth's c. 406 million herbarium specimens represent a largely untapped resource of genetic data that could transform our understanding of global plant populations. Advances in DNA sequencing have made the extraction of genetic data from these preserved specimens increasingly feasible, enabling new insights into plant biodiversity and ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Drought stress is a major abiotic factor that severely affects plant growth and food production. Identifying drought‐resistant genes and their regulatory mechanisms is essential for mitigating the negative impacts of drought on plants. In this study, we identified a natural single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation in SlWRKY16 that is ...

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

Carotenoid composition in native and commercial potato (Solanum sp.) cultivars.
, 2011 The present study was aimed to characterise the carotenoid profile in a wide selected collection of potato tubers in order to provide information to be used in breeding programs directed to improve the nutritional value of potatoes, as well as to increase our knowledge of the biochemical insight of the processes governing the biosynthesis of ...
