“…While giant hill mutants of 'Russet Burbank' have not been selected, there is evidence that different germplasm accessions of 'Russet Burbank' held at various repositories in North America are essentially geographic variants, grown for decades at different locations. Accessions differed in yield and processing components (Wright and Mellor 1976;Love et al 1992;Coleman et al 2003). The New Brunswick accession of 'Russet Burbank' (NB 'Russet Burbank') is paramount in Atlantic Canada.…”

Intraclonal Selection for Improved Processing of NB ‘Russet Burbank’ Potato

Russet Burbank' has limited fertility and has not parented improved cultivars through traditional breeding efforts. This study showed that 'Russet Burbank' (NB clone) could be improved through selection of intraclones (somatic embryos derived from specific tuber tissues) based on field performance and/or processing characteristics. In 2005 and 2006, approx. 800 intraclones were regenerated from field-grown tubers or microtubers. Intraclones were micropropagated, acclimatized, and field-tested to identify the highest yielding lines. Each season, following storage, tubers of selected lines were tested for glucose content and French fry-processing quality. In 2007, the best intraclones from earlier seasons were increased through micropropagation and retested for yield and processing features. Approx. 2-9% of intraclones had similar yield to controls but superior processing features. Neither tuber source nor explant tissue type affected intraclone tuber yield, type, or processing characters. We recommend the incorporation of somatic embryogenesis into potato improvement programs for processing quality traits.Resumen "Russet Burbank" tiene fertilidad limitada y no ha sido progenitor que haya mejorado variedades a través de esfuerzos de mejoramiento tradicional. Este estudio demostró que "Ruset Burbank" (clon NB) pudo mejorarse por selección de intraclones (embriones somáticos derivados de tejidos específicos de tubérculo) con base en el comportamiento en el campo y/o en características de procesamiento. En 2005 y 2006, se regeneraron aproximadamente 800 intraclones de tubérculos cultivados en el campo o de microtubérculos. Los intraclones se micropropagaron, se aclimataron, y se probaron en el campo para identificar las líneas de rendimiento más alto. En cada ciclo de cultivo, después del almacenamiento, se probaron tubérculos de líneas selectas para el contenido de glucosa y de calidad de fritura para papas a la francesa. En 2007, los mejores intraclones de siembras previas se incrementaron por micropropagación y se volvieron a probar para rendimiento y características de procesamiento. Aproximadamente el 2-9% de intraclones tuvieron rendimiento similar al de los testigos pero mejores características de procesamiento. Ni la fuente del tubér-culo ni el tipo de tejido del explante (inóculo) afectaron el rendimiento de tubérculo de los intraclones, o el tipo o características del procesamiento. Recomendamos la incorporación de embriogénesis somática en los programas de mejoramiento de papa para las características de calidad en el procesamiento.

“…Somaclonal variation is known to occur within clonally propagated potato. Within Russet Burbank there exist several distinct clones selected from field populations over many decades of production around the world that are regarded to possess distinctive traits of value to local production regions (Coleman et al, 2003). These include some variation in common scab disease resistance (Wilson, 2001), although none possess extreme resistance to this disease.…”

We previously obtained somaclonal variants of the important French fry processing cultivar Russet Burbank with significantly enhanced resistance to common scab disease. In this study we have shown the commercial merit of a proportion of these variants through comparison of relative yield and tuber quality with the parent cultivar Russet Burbank. Whilst we showed a weak negative correlation between tuber yield (as assessed by weight of tubers per plant) and relative disease resistance within selected variants, we identified several with equivalent yields to the parent cultivar. Furthermore, two disease-resistant variants (TC-RB8 and NZ-24B) consistently yielded more tuber mass than the parent. The majority of our Russet Burbank variants showed equivalent tuber quality characteristics (occurrence of defects, tuber specific gravity and dry matter content, and flesh colour) and cooking qualities (fry colour and presence of dark end defects) to the parent cultivar. Independent testing by a commercial French fry processor confirmed these quality characteristics. We present data demonstrating that highly common scab disease-resistant somaclonal variants of Russet Burbank have commercially acceptable tuber yield and quality characteristics, comparable to the industry standard and parent Russet Burbank cultivar. We also demonstrate the value of in vitro cell selection techniques for potato cultivar improvement.

“…Many SSR markers have been identified and successfully used in fingerprinting potato DNA (Veilleux et al 1995;Kawchuk et al 1996;Milbourne et al 1998;Coleman et al 2003;Ghislain et al 2004;Coombs et al 2004). For example, Veilleux et al (1995) identified seven pairs of SSR primers for potato, by searching GenBank potato DNA sequences; two from a starch synthase gene and one from a patatin pseudogene.…”

. 2008. A simplified procedure for verifying and identifying potato cultivars using multiplex PCR. Can. J. Plant Sci. 88: 583Á 592. Correct identification of potato cultivars and selections is essential to a large and diverse user group. This group includes curators of germplasm repositories, breeders and other researchers, certification program officials, commercial growers, processing industry managers and for some cultivars, the public. Agencies involved in cultivar registration and plant breeders' rights (or patenting) also have a vested interest in correct identification. DNA fingerprinting is an important tool that can be used to describe new or existing cultivars, verify cultivar identity, and resolve cultivar mixtures. Gel-based fingerprints are usually preferred because they are visual and within the technical capacity of most molecular laboratories. In this study, a multiplex PCR protocol ''Multiplex SUP'' and an improved version ''Multiplex SUPN'' were developed using four primer pairs (STEM0014 and genes of starch synthase, patatin, and UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase). The agarose-gel-based Multiplex SUP was successfully used in identifying cultivars from blind samples in a collaborating laboratory, and in pilot tests to verify the identity of introduced cultivars for seed potato production. The Multiplex SUPN, using native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) with GelRed or ethidium-bromide staining, generated more than 38 polymorphic markers among the potato cultivars tested. The method distinguished 116 cultivars that included many of the public potato cultivars registered in Canada and several protected cultivars that were fingerprinted with permission. The Multiplex SUPN-PAGE method is user friendly and effective, and is recommended for routine potato cultivar verification and identification.
