Affleck, I., Sullivan, J. A., Tarn, R. and Yada, R. 2012. Stability of eight potato genotypes for sugar content and French fry quality at harvest and after storage. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 87–96. Processing quality of potatoes for French fries is partially determined by reducing sugar content of the tuber. Much of the potato crop is processed after a storage period when sugar content can change and affect processing quality. In this study, the stability of sugar levels in eight potato genotypes was studied over four environments (i.e., two locations over 2 yr). The GGE biplot analysis was used to measure the stability of, and the association between, quality traits and sugar content. Quality and sugar content were measured 105 and 120 d after planting and 60 and 120 d after storage. The biplots indicated a change in French fry colour scores and stability between the 105 and 120 d after planting harvest dates. Genotypic differences were noted for French fry colour scores and glucose content. Genotypes were identified that were stable for French fry colour during the two storage periods indicating low genotype by environment interaction. The GGE biplot identified mega-environments that encompassed a group of environments with similar attributes. Based on this finding potatoes from only one environment within the mega-environment would need to be stored for quality evaluations.

Colour is an important character in the processing of potatoes for French fries. French fry colour is closely associated with sugar content in the tuber. This study examines the stability of yield, sugar content and French fry colour for eight potato cultivars and advanced selections in four environments. Stability was determined using three approaches based on the Eberhart-Russell, Tai and GGE Biplot analyses. The GGE Biplot analysis provided a better characterization of stability than the other two analyses. The most stable and best performing genotypes for both French fry colour and total sugars were Russet Burbank and Umatilla Russet. Cal White had high yield and yield stability but had average stability for poor (dark) French fry colour. The GGE biplot analysis was able to identify mega-environments and those environments which optimized differentiation between genotypes. Both factors are important for the optimization of resources for testing new genotypes. Stability for quality factors in potato can be as important or more important than yield for some processing uses. In this study, genotypes with stability for sugar content and French fry colour were identified and these may be used as parents in breeding for stability. Key words: Potato, yield stability, quality, French fry

Phenomenon of genotype by environment interaction was able to influence the stability performance of cocoa resistance to Phytophthora pod rot (PPR). This research had an objective to evaluate the effect of genotype by environment interaction on resistance of cocoa hybrids to PPR. The tested hybrids were F1 crosses between selected clones of TSH 858, Sulawesi 1, Sulawesi 2, NIC 7, ICS 13, KEE 2 and KW 165. There were 14 tested hybrids and an open pollinated hybrid of ICS 60 x Sca 12 was used as control in multilocation trials at four different agroclimatic locations, namely Jatirono Estate ((highland-wet climate), Kalitelepak Estate (lowland-wet climate), Kaliwining Experimental Station (low land-dry climate) and Sumber Asin Experimental Station (highland-dry climate). Trials were established in the randomized complete block design with four replications. Resistance to PPR were evaluated based on the percentage of infected pod for the years during wet climate of 2010 in Jatirono, Kalitelepak and Kaliwining followed in dry climate of 2011–2015 in Kaliwining and Sumber Asin. Variance of data were analyzed for detecting the effect of genotype by environment interaction (GxE) then visualized with a graph of genotype main effect and genotype by environment interaction (a graph of GGE) biplot. There was consistently no interaction effect between hybrid and location to PPR incidence which was affected by single factor of hybrid, year, location and interaction between year and location. The effect of year indicated yearly change of weather was more important to PPR incidence than location difference. A graph of GGE biplot indicated a stable performance of the tested hybrids among locations.

This research aimed to determine the yield performance and post-harvest storage behavior of potato Cultivars with different maturing groups under Isparta conditions at 2018. In this study, Agria, Agata, Alegria, Desiree, Granola, Hermes, Lady Anna, Marabel, Morphona and Russet Burbank potato Cultivars, which were widely cultivated in Turkey, were used. After determining the yield performance of cultivars under field conditions, tuber samples taken from each cultivar were stored at 6-8°C for 6 months. Tuber yields of Cultivars varied between 2860-5331 kg/da and vegetation period ranged between 97.7-146.6 days. In the storage period, the time taken to break the dormancy in 50% of the tubers ranged between 23.3-111.6 days, and dormancy was broken earlier in the early season Cultivars. At the end of the 6 months storage period, it was determined that the Cultivars lost weight between 4.13-6.48%. Starch ratios, reducing sugar content and French fries yields varied depending on the storage time of the cultivars, but generally decreased during storage period. There were significant changes in the quality of French fry and table stock. In the storage period Cultivars with low dry matter ratio which are not suitable for the French fries industry and the Cultivars with early characteristics had higher weight and quality losses in storage. It was concluded that dormancy duration, maturing characteristics of potato Cultivars had a significant effect on storage quality, and therefore, storage period should be determined by taking into account the varietal characteristics in potato storage.

During storage, the invert sugar content of sugar beets increases with increasing storage period and storage temperature, thereby decreasing the processing quality of the beets substantially. Invert sugar results from the enzymatic degradation of sucrose to glucose and fructose. The current methods to determine invert sugar in sugar beets have a low sample frequency and are very expensive and are therefore not implemented in the routine analyses of sugar factories. The content of invert sugar could be calculated based on the glucose content. This requires a constant ratio of glucose to fructose in freshly harvested sugar beets as well as in sugar beets stored under different conditions. The objective of the present study was thus I) to analyse the glucose to fructose ratio of freshly harvested beets and of beets stored under different conditions, and II) to develop a formula to estimate the invert sugar content based on the glucose content of sugar beets. The ratio of glucose to fructose in freshly harvested beets and beets stored under different conditions was quite similar. A close linear relationship between glucose and invert sugar content in freshly harvested and stored beets was found. By using the regression function, the invert sugar content of an independent dataset was calculated based on the glucose content. The estimated invert sugar content was closely correlated with the invert sugar content measured by HPLC. The invert sugar content in freshly harvested and stored sugar beets can thus be calculated with the formula developed in this study. This would considerably improve the quality assessment of sugar beets once the new method to measure the glucose content becomes implemented in the routine analysis in sugar factories.

To determine the effects of environment and genotypic differences on tuber yield and other related traits, 12 genotypes comprising 9 improved elite clones, two local landraces and 1 improved and released variety were evaluated for tuber yield, response to yam mosaic virus and leaf spot diseases at 16 growing environments. The multi-environment trials were conducted using randomized complete-block design with three blocks for four years in four representative agro-ecological zones (Atebubu, Kintampo, Ejura and Fumesua) in Ghana. The objective was to select high and stable yielding varieties for release as varieties in Ghana. The multi-environment data for the trials collected were subjected to combine analyses of variance using the ANOVA procedure of Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research (STAR) to determine the magnitude of the main effects and interactions. Genotype main effect and genotype by environment interaction effect (GGE) model was used to dissect the genotype by environment interaction (GEI) using the GGE biplot software (GGE biplot, 2007). GGE biplots analysis was applied for visual examination of the GEI pattern in the data set. A highly significant effects (P < 0.001) for Genotype (G), environment (E) and genotype by environment (GEI) interaction were occurred in the data set for highly significant for all the traits studied (P < 0.001), indicating genetic variability between genotypes by changing environments. This indicated changes in ranking order of the genotype performances across the test environments. The partitioning of the GGE effect for tuber yield through in GGE biplot analysis model showed that PC1 and PC2 accounted for 40.47.0% and 19.89.0% of the variation GGE sum of squares respectively for tuber yield, respectively explaining a total of 60.36% variation. Mankrong Pona was the most stable and high yielding (closest to the ideal genotype) followed by TDr95/19177. Genotypes TDr00/02472, TDr00/00539 and TDr98/00933 are desirable genotypes for further assessment on culinary characteristics and end-user assessment for release as varieties. All the four locations used for the study were highly relevant for research and development of yams. Ejura and Fumesua were the most discriminating and most representative for YMV respectively. In terms of yield, Kintampo environment was the most discriminating and Fumesua and Atebubu were the closest to ideal environment for evaluating yield.

SUMMARYPrevious research has suggested that fry colour of processed potatoes is inversely correlated with tuber reducing sugar content, and agronomic practice should therefore be tailored to minimize amounts of tuber sugars at harvest and during storage as a means of maximizing processing quality. A total of 30 experiments from three sites in England from 1985 to 1988 examined this hypothesis for two cultivars using a wider range of husbandry than that used in practice and long periods of storage. No tuber sugar value was sufficiently well correlated with fry colour for the relationship to be interpreted as causal and of use predictively, irrespective of whether it was measured early in growth, at harvest or at the time of processing. Fry colour at harvest was not correlated with fry colour after storage. No agronomic practice (variables used were physiological age, date of planting, irrigation or date of harvest) consistently caused fry colours to be darker than the acceptable colour limit, whether at harvest or after long term storage. Crops producing unacceptable fry colours early in storage generally improved to produce acceptable fry colours after long term storage. Agronomic practices within the range normally found in commercial production are therefore considered to have little effect on long-term processing quality, although harvesting, handling and transport operations were not investigated.

Background: The genetic yield potential of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) has been continuously challenged by several diseases including early leaf spot (ELS).Methods: In the current study, we evaluated groundnut mini core collections under artificial and natural disease epiphytotics in six environments to identify stable elite sources for ELS resistance and pod yield. Mixed model analysis was done to adequately capture the variance component as a result of genotype (G), environment (E) and G × E interaction (GEI).Result: Highly significant (p less than 0.001) effects for G and GEI on ELS and pod weight were observed. The parametric and non-parametric stability models ranked the genotype differently for their stability to ELS. The GGE biplot identified ICG 1519 as a stable genotype for the ELS resistance. For pod weight, ICG 8896 and ICG 7897 were consistently stable from all the stability models including the GGE biplot. ICG 9449 and ICG 4540 were identified as stable genotypes for both ELS and pod weight. These elite sources of ELS resistance identified in the current study will be useful in the development and deployment of groundnut varieties with resistance to ELS and high pod yielding potentials.

ABSTRACT Maize is widely cultivated in Brazil, and nitrogen is a major nutrient for its yield. Azospirillum brasiliense bacteria help in plant nutrient supply; however, maize-Azospirillum symbiosis is not very efficient and requires selection of genotypes with a more efficient association. Multivariate indexes facilitate selection using a single value, and GGE-biplot analysis enables the visualization of the genotype-environment interaction from this value. The present study aimed to select progenies that effectively associate with the bacteria and study the efficiency of progeny selection using a multivariate index observed in the GGE-biplot method. The experiments were conducted in two cities in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. In a simple 16 × 16 lattice, 256 genotypes were evaluated in the presence and absence of diazotrophic bacteria. PH, SL, SD, FI, HGM, SS, and GY were measured for the construction of a selection index. Genotypes exhibited significant genotype–environment interactions for all evaluated traits, allowing their use in the selection index. High-yield genotypes were not those with the highest selection index values. The traits GY, SD, HGM, SS, SL, and PH contributed the most to the construction of the index. The no-till system may have contributed to the weaker response of maize inoculated with Azospirillum brasiliense. Genotype 96 had the highest values of the characteristics used to calculate the GISI, along with the stability between environments.

Good storability of sugar beet is of increasing importance, not only to reduce sugar losses, but also with regard to maintaining the processing quality. Genotypic differences are found in storage losses. However, it is not clear to which extent damage may contribute to the genotypic response. The aim of the study was to quantify the effect of root tip breakage on storage losses of different genotypes. For that purpose, in 2012 and 2013, six sugar beet genotypes were grown in field trials at two locations. After lifting roots were damaged with a cleaning device. They were stored for 8 and 12 weeks, either under controlled conditions in a climate container at constant 8°C, or under ambient temperature in an outdoor clamp. The close correlation underlines that storage losses under controlled conditions (constant temperature) can well be transferred to conditions in practice with fluctuating temperature. The strongest impact on invert sugar accumulation and sugar loss after storage resulted from storage time, followed by damage and growing environment (year × growing site). Cleaning reduced soil tare but increased root tip breakage, in particular for genotypes with low marc content. During storage, pathogen infestation and invert sugar content of the genotypes increased with root tip breakage, but the level differed between growing environments. Sugar loss was closely related to invert sugar accumulation for all treatments, genotypes and environments. Hence, it can be concluded that root tip breakage contributes considerably to storage losses of sugar beet genotypes, and evidently genotypes show a different susceptibility to root tip breakage which is related to their marc content. For long-term storage it is therefore of particular importance to avoid damage during the harvest operations and furthermore, to have genotypes with high storability and low susceptibility to damage.

The technological beet quality has been always important for the processors of sugar beet. An investigation into the development of the beet quality in the Netherlands since 1980 has shown that beet quality has improved significantly. Internal quality parameters that are traditionally determined in the beet laboratory, i.e. sugar content, Na, K and -aminoN, all show an improving trend over the years. In the factories, better beet quality has led to lower lime consumption in the juice purification and significantly higher thick juice purity. In 2013, Suiker Unie introduced the serial analysis of the glucose content in beet brei as part of the routine quality assessment of the beet. The invert sugar content is subsequently calculated from glucose content with a new correlation. The background, the trial phase and the first experiences with the glucose analyzer are discussed.
