Download or read book The Potato Genome written by Swarup Kumar Chakrabarti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the historical importance of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.),potato genetic resources and stocks (including S. tuberosum group Phureja DM1-3 516 R44, a unique doubled monoploid homozygous line) used for potato genome sequencing. It also discusses strategies and tools for high-throughput sequencing, sequence assembly, annotation, analysis, repetitive sequences and genotyping-by-sequencing approaches. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.; 2n = 4x = 48) is the fourth most important food crop of the world after rice, wheat and maize and holds great potential to ensure both food and nutritional security. It is an autotetraploid crop with complex genetics, acute inbreeding depression and a highly heterozygous nature. Further, the book examines the recent discovery of whole genome sequencing of a few wild potato species genomes, genomics in management and genetic enhancement of Solanum species, new strategies towards durable potato late blight resistance, structural analysis of resistance genes, genomics resources for abiotic stress management, as well as somatic cell genetics and modern approaches in true-potato-seed technology. The complete genome sequence provides a better understanding of potato biology, underpinning evolutionary process, genetics, breeding and molecular efforts to improve various important traits involved in potato growth and development.

Download or read book The Potato Crop written by Hugo Campos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book provides a fresh, updated and science-based perspective on the current status and prospects of the diverse array of topics related to the potato, and was written by distinguished scientists with hands-on global experience in research aspects related to potato. The potato is the third most important global food crop in terms of consumption. Being the only vegetatively propagated species among the world’s main five staple crops creates both issues and opportunities for the potato: on the one hand, this constrains the speed of its geographic expansion and its options for international commercialization and distribution when compared with commodity crops such as maize, wheat or rice. On the other, it provides an effective insulation against speculation and unforeseen spikes in commodity prices, since the potato does not represent a good traded on global markets. These two factors highlight the underappreciated and underrated role of the potato as a dependable nutrition security crop, one that can mitigate turmoil in world food supply and demand and political instability in some developing countries. Increasingly, the global role of the potato has expanded from a profitable crop in developing countries to a crop providing income and nutrition security in developing ones. This book will appeal to academics and students of crop sciences, but also policy makers and other stakeholders involved in the potato and its contribution to humankind’s food security.
Book Synopsis Potato Breeding: Theory and Practice by : John E. Bradshaw
Download or read book Potato Breeding: Theory and Practice written by John E. Bradshaw and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is the world’s fourth most important food crop after maize, rice and wheat with 377 million tonnes fresh-weight of tubers produced in 2016 from 19.2 million hectares of land, in 163 countries, giving a global average yield of 19.6 t ha-1 (http://faostat.fao.org). About 62% of production (234 million tonnes) was in Asia (191), Africa (25) and Latin America (18) as a result of steady increases in recent years, particularly in China and India. As a major food crop, the potato has an important role to play in the United Nations “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” which started on 1 January 2016 (http://faostat.fao.org). By 2030 the aim is to “ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round”. By then, the world population is expected to reach 8.5 billion and continue to increase to 9.7 billion in 2050. For potatoes, the need is to increase production and improve nutritional value during a period of climate change, a key aspect of which will be the breeding of new cultivars for a wide range of target environments and consumers. The aim of the book is to help this endeavour by providing detailed information in three parts on both the theory and practice of potato breeding. Part I deals with the history of potato improvement and with potato genetics. Part II deals with breeding objectives, divided into improving yield, quality traits and resistance to the most important diseases and pests of potatoes. Part III deals with breeding methods: first, the use of landraces and wild relatives of potato in introgression breeding, base broadening and population improvement; second, breeding clonally propagated cultivars as a way to deliver potato improvement to farmers’ fields; third, as an alternative, breeding potato cultivars for propagation through true potato seed; and fourth, gene editing and genetic transformation as ways of making further improvements to already successful and widely grown cultivars. Included are marker-assisted introgression and selection of specific alleles, genomic selection of many unspecified alleles and diploid F1 hybrid breeding.

Book Synopsis Taxonomy of Wild Potatoes in Northern South America (Solanum Section Petota) by : David M. Spooner
Download or read book Taxonomy of Wild Potatoes in Northern South America (Solanum Section Petota) written by David M. Spooner and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solanum section Petota., which includes the cultivated potato (S. tuberosum) and its wild relatives, is distributed from the southwestern United States to central Argentina, Uruguay, and adjacent Chile. This taxonomic treatment includes all wild species of section Petota from northern South America, which includes Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It is the last of five taxonomic treatments of a monophyletic potato + tomato + section Etuberosum clade, including treatments of 1) wild potatoes from North and Central America, 2) wild potatoes from southern South America, and the close outgroup section Etuberosum, 3) cultivated potatoes, and 4) wild tomatoes. Wild species of section Petota include diploids (2n = 24), triploids (2n = 36), tetraploids (2n = 48), and hexaploids (2n = 72), with all of these levels represented in northern South America. We here recognize 60 species from section Petota in this region and partition them into five species groups, recognizing only about half of the species from northern South America relative to the most recent taxonomic treatments by J.G. Hawkes and C.M. Ochoa. We summarize recent morphological and molecular studies of species limits and their interrelationships, and provide a key to the species, descriptions, synonymies (including designations of lectotypes), illustrations, localities, disease resistances, and distribution maps for all species.

Book Synopsis The Wild Solanums Genomes by : Domenico Carputo
Download or read book The Wild Solanums Genomes written by Domenico Carputo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers the latest information on the organization of genomes in wild Solanum species and emphasizes how this information is yielding direct outcomes in the fields of molecular breeding, as well as a better understanding of both the patterns and processes of evolution. Cultivated Solanums, such as potato, tomato, and pepper, possess a high number of wild relatives that are of great importance for practical breeding and evolutionary studies. Their germplasm is often characterized by allelic diversity, as well as genes that are lacking in the cultivated species. Wild Solanums have not been fully exploited by breeders. This is mainly due to the lack of information regarding their genetics and genomics. However, the genome of important cultivated Solanaceae such as potato, tomato, eggplant, and pepper has already been sequenced. On the heels of these recent developments, wild Solanum genomes are now becoming available, opening an exciting new era for both basic research and varietal development in the Solanaceae.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The common potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important staple crop, with a highly complex, heterozygous, tetraploid genome. It can grow in a wide range of altitudes from sea level up to 4,700 meters above the sea level, contributing to its success as a crop. It has its origins in South America, where potato has a large secondary gene pool consisting of wild relatives of diverse ploidy levels. Genetic resources such as landraces and wild relatives are increasingly crucial for developing climate change resilient cultivars with biotic and abiotic stress tolerance.Significant efforts have previously been made to sequence and construct a double monoploid (S. tuberosum Group Phureja – DM1-3) reference genome as well as two wild reference genomes (S. commersonii and S. chacoense clone M6). However, it is uncertain how well the potato genome diversity is actually captured in these three potato genomes, as the genetic riches of the South America taxa are not represented.This doctoral dissertation focuses on the genomic analyses of sequenced data from twelve native South American potato genomes (ten taxa) of various ploidy (2n – 5x): S. tuberosum subsp. goniocalyx (2n), S. stenotomum subsp. stenotomum (2n), S. phureja (2n), S. xajanhuiri (2n), S. bukasovii (2n), S. chaucha (3x), S. juzepczukii (3x), S. tuberosum subsp. andigena (4x), S. tuberosum subsp. tuberosum (4x) and S. curtilobum (5x). Their comparisons with two reference genomes (DM1-3, M6) unraveled a great number of copy number variation (CNV) impacted genes, including disease resistance and abiotic stress genes. Additionally, these genomes have been assembled de novo. The draft genomes of the diploid S. stenotomum subsp. goniocalyx and of the tetraploid S. tuberoum subsp. andigena have been assembled using Third Generation Sequencing data, while the rest of the genomes were assembled using Next Generation Sequencing data. The diploid potato genomes have been used for the construction of a diploid potato pan-genome sequence of nine genomes, including three publicly available reference genomes. Within the pan-genome, there are self-incompatibility and disease resistant genes that are absent from the DM1-3 genome. This work reflects only a part of the tremendous variability of the South American potato taxa"--
