This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge regarding the importance of potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) for potato plant development and tuber quality is limited. K and Mg are nutrients, besides other crucial roles, for photosynthesis and the partitioning of photoassimilates within the plant. Hence, a negative effect of a K and Mg deficiency on tuber yield and quality can be expected as tubers are strong sink organs being highly dependent on the production of photoassimilates and its translocation down to the tubers. This thesis aimed to examine the extent to which a K and Mg deficiency may affect potato plant 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 Physiological Studies on the Potato Tuber by : Eslam Y. A. Mohamed
Download or read book Physiological Studies on the Potato Tuber written by Eslam Y. A. Mohamed and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are a versatile, carboahydrate-rich food, highly popular worldwide, and prepared and served in a variety of ways. Freshly harvested, potato tuber contains about 80 percent water and 20 percent dry matter. About 60 to 80 percent of the dry matter is starch. On a dry weight basis, the protein content of potato is similar to that of cereals and much higher in comparison with other root and tubers crops, but very low in fat. This research was conducted in an attempt to improve potato plant characteristics and tuber quality; i, e, productivity, specific gravity, starch, sugars (total and reducing contents) to produce acceptable crisp product at the end; through spraying the growing plants with some different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide; in addition to determine the best cultivar among the tested ones as for crisp production.
Book Synopsis Optimisation of Nitrogen and Potassium Nutrition for Selected New Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) Cultivars by : Tlotlisang Nkhase
Download or read book Optimisation of Nitrogen and Potassium Nutrition for Selected New Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.) Cultivars written by Tlotlisang Nkhase and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many older potato cultivars in South Africa such as BP1, Up-to-date and Avalanche. These older varieties of potatoes have been studied intensively under South African conditions such that nutrient requirements for such cultivars are well known. However, new cultivars are developed in order to improve yield, increase pest resistance and improve tuber quality, and as well as to meet the industrial market for processing. These newer cultivars are either developed locally or imported into South Africa. Nutrient requirements for these new cultivars have to be known under South African conditions, since nutrient requirements may vary among cultivars and even across regions. Knowledge of the nutritional requirements of such cultivars, especially nitrogen and potassium, which are taken up in largest quantities, are essential to fine- tune production management and improve yield and quality of tubers. Literature suggests that study attempts should not only focus on levels of N and K, but to also investigate N-K interaction (N:K ratios), since yield response to K is related to N status in the soil. For the aforementioned reasons, the study was conducted to evaluate the response of two newer potato cultivars to nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) levels in the South African environment. The studied cultivars were two foreign cultivars, namely Innovator and Lanorma. Two trials were conducted, first, a pot trial and then a field trial as a follow up. The pot trial was conducted between October 2015 to March 2016, while the field trial was conducted from September 2016 to February 2017. The two cultivars were evaluated at four levels of N and four levels of K for the pot trial, which then gave 16 N x K treatment combinations and 16 N:K ratios. The levels of N were 180, 230, 280 and 330 kg.ha-1 and K levels 160, 230, 300 and 370 kg.ha-1. For the field trial, treatments were reduced to three levels of N and K each, i.e. 160, 230 and 300 kg.ha-1 for both N and K, giving seven different N:K ratios. Destructive growth analyses were performed once during the growing season for the pot trial, while for the field trial destructive growth analyses were done four times during the growing season. During each harvest, plant height, dry leaf mass, dry stem mass, stolon length, dry tuber mass and tuber number were recorded. At final harvest, yield, specific gravity, chip colour score and dry matter content were recorded for statistical analysis. SAS was employed in order to perform an analysis of variance and means were separated using the LSD test at 95% probability level. Growth analyses results for both trials showed that Lanorma outweighed Innovator in terms of dry leaf and stem mass. Lanorma was also taller than Innovator and had longer stolons than Innovator. On the other hand, Innovator had a higher total dry tuber mass than that of Lanorma, although Lanorma had more tubers per plant. At final harvest for the pot trial, yield for Innovator was significantly higher than that of Lanorma. Yield for both cultivars were significantly influenced by N:K levels and ratios. N:K ratios ranging between 0.62 to 1.22 showed a tendency of better yield than yields outside that ratio range, provided none of the two nutrients were insufficient. Field trial yield was also influenced by the N:K ratio, similarly to the pot trial. In contrary to the pot trial, Lanorma had a significantly higher yield than Innovator in the field trial. Tuber specific gravity (SG) was also influenced by N:K ratio for both cultivars. For both pot and field trials, N:K ratios around 1.1 or less proved to have better SGs for both cultivars in most cases. Innovator, a processing cultivar, had higher SG values as compared to Lanorma. Yield and tuber size generally increased with increase in N. Yield also increased with increase in K up to 230 kg.ha-1 in most cases, whereafter it then remained constant with further K increase. For the specific conditions, it is recommended that N and K levels be kept at around 230 kg.ha-1 for both cultivars for optimal yield. However, if the priority is to improve tuber quality for processing, then a fertilizer treatment combination of 160 kg.ha-1 N and 300 kg.ha-1 K would be the best option due to lighter chip colour and higher specific gravity associated with that treatment combination.
Book Synopsis Plant, Abiotic Stress and Responses to Climate Change by : Violeta Andjelkovic
Download or read book Plant, Abiotic Stress and Responses to Climate Change written by Violeta Andjelkovic and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is a serious problem influencing agricultural production worldwide and challenging researchers to investigate plant responses and to breed crops for the changed growing conditions. Abiotic stresses are the most important for crop production, affecting about 96.5% of arable land worldwide. These stress factors include high and low temperature, water deficit (drought) and flooding, salinity, heavy metals, UV radiation, light, chemical pollutants, and so on. Since some of the stresses occurred simultaneously, such as heat and water deficit, causing the interactions of physiological processes, novel multidisciplinary solutions are needed. This book provides an overview of the present state in the research of abiotic stresses and molecular, biochemical, and whole plant responses, helping to prevent the negative impact of global climate change.
Book Synopsis Root and Tuber Crops by : J.E. Bradshaw
Download or read book Root and Tuber Crops written by J.E. Bradshaw and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important to include Tuber and Root Crops in the Handbook of Plant Breeding. They include starchy staple crops that are of increasing importance for global food security and relief of poverty, important millennium goals for the United Nations. Indeed, 2008 was the UN International Year of the Potato in recognition of this role of the potato as the world’s third most important food crop after wheat and rice. The other major staples are cassava, sweetpotato and yam. Together they occupy about 50 million hectares, with production at 640 million metric tons, of which 70% is in developing countries. In total there are more than 30 species of Root and Tuber Crops grown in the world today. Given the content of other volumes in the series, it makes sense to include sugar and fodder beets; swedes and turnips; and minor root and tuber crops so that the book series is as complete as possible. Like the other volumes in the series, this one will present information on the latest in applied plant breeding using the current advances in the field, from an efficient use of genetic resources to the impact of biotechnology in plant breeding. Seven crop specific chapters are proposed, together with an introduction to this diverse set of plant species. Outstanding scientists for each crop species are proposed as senior authors, who may invite co-authors to contribute part of a chapter. In order to increase the overall acceptance of the volume, balance will be sought with authors from different research groups/countries who will be asked to contribute and collaborate where appropriate. The book should be of interest to researchers in both academic and industrial settings, and in both developed and developing countries, as well as students and teachers of plant breeding. It is currently extremely important to educate and train a new generation of plant breeders given the challenges faced by humankind in producing more food for an expanding global population during a period of environmental (including climate) change.

Book Synopsis Plant Nutrients and Abiotic Stress Tolerance by : Mirza Hasanuzzaman
Download or read book Plant Nutrients and Abiotic Stress Tolerance written by Mirza Hasanuzzaman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses many aspects of plant-nutrient-induced abiotic stress tolerance. It consists of 22 informative chapters on the basic role of plant nutrients and the latest research advances in the field of plant nutrients in abiotic stress tolerance as well as their practical applications. Today, plant nutrients are not only considered as food for plants, but also as regulators of numerous physiological processes including stress tolerance. They also interact with a number of biological molecules and signaling cascades. Although research work and review articles on the role of plant nutrients in abiotic stress tolerance have been published in a range of journals, annual reviews and book chapters, to date there has been no comprehensive book on this topic. As such, this timely book is a valuable resource for a wide audience, including plant scientists, agronomists, soil scientists, botanists, molecular biologists and environmental scientists.
Book Synopsis The Plant Plasma Membrane by : Angus S. Murphy
Download or read book The Plant Plasma Membrane written by Angus S. Murphy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In plant cells, the plasma membrane is a highly elaborated structure that functions as the point of exchange with adjoining cells, cell walls and the external environment. Transactions at the plasma membrane include uptake of water and essential mineral nutrients, gas exchange, movement of metabolites, transport and perception of signaling molecules, and initial responses to external biota. Selective transporters control the rates and direction of small molecule movement across the membrane barrier and manipulate the turgor that maintains plant form and drives plant cell expansion. The plasma membrane provides an environment in which molecular and macromolecular interactions are enhanced by the clustering of proteins in oligimeric complexes for more efficient retention of biosynthetic intermediates, and by the anchoring of protein complexes to promote regulatory interactions. The coupling of signal perception at the membrane surface with intracellular second messengers also involves transduction across the plasma membrane. Finally, the generation and ordering of the external cell walls involves processes mediated at the plant cell surface by the plasma membrane. This volume is divided into three sections. The first section describes the basic mechanisms that regulate all plasma membrane functions. The second describes plasma membrane transport activity. The final section of the book describes signaling interactions at the plasma membrane. These topics are given a unique treatment in this volume, as the discussions are restricted to the plasma membrane itself as much as possible. A more complete knowledge of the plasma membrane’s structure and function is essential to current efforts to increase the sustainability of agricultural production of food, fiber, and fuel crops.
