水稻分蘖期耐盐性鉴定评价方法确立及种质筛选

分蘖期是水稻由秧田生长向本田生长过渡的营养生长关键时期。在盐渍化土壤上种植水稻,分蘖期耐盐性对水稻能否正常生长至关重要。合适的耐盐性鉴定方法是水稻耐盐种质筛选的前提。本研究目的在于通过水稻分蘖期盐浓度梯度筛选试验,明确水稻分蘖期耐盐性鉴定最适盐胁迫浓度和调查时间;利用确立的鉴定方法,筛选出水稻分蘖期耐盐种质。本研究选取具有不同程度耐盐性的26份水稻品种,于2015年和2016年分别在10个和7个盐浓度梯度下,以盐害等级为分蘖期耐盐评价指标,开展水稻分蘖期耐盐性鉴定评价试验。结果表明,在0.5%盐浓度下,处理4～6周后供试种质的盐害等级差异表现为最大,因此认为0.5%盐浓度是水稻分蘖期耐盐性鉴定的最适盐胁迫浓度,盐处理后4～6周是水稻分蘖期盐害等级调查的最佳调查时间。参照国际水稻所提出的水稻分蘖期耐盐性评价标准,本研究对其进行了改进,提出以单株为单位进行水稻分蘖期耐盐性评价方法,利用平均盐害等级评估分蘖期耐盐性。该方法能够方便、准确地评价水稻耐盐性强弱。依据上述确立的水稻分蘖期耐盐性鉴定评价方法,本研究于2017-2019年期间对2886份来自不同生态区域的水稻种质进行分蘖期耐盐性鉴定评价,鉴定筛选出137份耐盐种质,为水稻耐盐遗传机制和育种研究提供资源支撑。

Response of transgenic potato seedlings to allelopathic pressure and the effect of nutrients in the culture medium

Chinese farmers frequently use a wheat–potato cropping system. The land area planted to transgenic potatoes is increasing because transgenic potatoes have greater resistance to pests and diseases. However, little is known about the bio-compatibility of transgenic potatoes with wheat straw. The objective of this tissue culture study was to determine the allelopathic effects of wheat straw on transgenic potato seedlings. Seedlings were cultured on normal MS medium (normal treatment) and nutrient-deficient MS medium (acclimated treatment) and then transferred to MS medium, which contained wheat straw powder. Wheat straw powder inhibited potato seedling growth in both treatments. Among the parameters analyzed in this study, inhibition was greatest for plant fresh weight and least for plant height. The inhibitive effects of wheat straw were greater for seedling roots compared to shoots. Resistance to allelopathic pressure from wheat straw was greater in acclimated seedlings compared to normal seedlings. This suggested that previous pressure may have induced tolerance in the transgenic potato seedlings. Furthermore, growth inhibition of potato seedlings from the normal treatment increased as the amount of wheat straw powder in the culture medium increased. Calculations indicated that the presence of wheat straw would lead to a 55% reduction in the total biomass of normal potato seedlings compared to a 39% reduction for acclimated seedlings. Parameters such as net photosynthesis rate (Pn) and quantum yield (Y(II)) changed as the nutrient content of the culture medium increased or decreased, but the changes in the parameters were smaller for acclimated seedlings compared to normal seedlings. This suggests that nutrient status during the culture period could help transgenic potato seedlings adapt and compensate for energy loss from seedlings in defending against allelopathic pressure. In summary, the results show that previous exposure to pressures such as nutrient deficiency may increase the allelopathic pressure resistance of transgenic potato seedlings.     

Acrylamide in processed potato products: progress made and present status

Concerns related to higher levels of acrylamide in processed carbohydrate-rich foods, especially in fried potato products, are well known. This article provides updates on various aspects of acrylamide in processed potato products including mechanisms of acrylamide formation and health risks due to its intake. Levels of reducing sugars in potatoes are considered as a main factor contributing towards the formation of acrylamide in processed potato products. Useful approaches in lowering the levels of reducing sugars such as use of suitable varieties, storage methods, storage temperature and duration of storage are described and discussed. Importance and practical utility of various steps before and during the processing that can contribute in reducing the final concentration of acrylamide are highlighted. Progress made and present status of potato processing industry in India are part of this article. The article describes varietal improvement and spread of short-term and long-term storage technologies in India and their contribution towards round the year availability of processing-grade potatoes to the processing industries and how all this has helped in achieving reduced levels of acrylamide in chips and French fries. Outcome and implications of cold-induced sweetening tolerance in potatoes are presented along with other management practices and strategies that can lower the acrylamide levels in processed potato products. Future lines of work have been suggested to make the consumption of fried potato products safer.     

The response of potatoes (Solunum tuberosum L.) to salinity: plant growth and tuber yields in the arid desert of Israel

The response of potato cultivars to water salinity was studied under field conditions in sandy loessial soil in the arid desert of Southern Israel. The potatoes were drip-irrigated with water of three different salinities: water commonly used for irrigation (1.0–1.4 dS m^-1); saline water from a local well (6.1–6.9 dS m^-1); and a mixture of the two (3.84.3 dS m^-1). Salinity retarded plant emergence, enhanced haulm senescence and reduced growth of both haulms and tubers. Increasing the salinity progressively reduced tuber yields. Application of the saline water well after plant establishment (Expt A) decreased tuber yields by 615% and 22–31% in the intermediate and the high salinities, respectively. When irrigation with saline water was started soon after planting (Expt B), tuber yields were decreased by 0–17% and 21–79% in the intermediate and the high salinities, respectively. When the tubers emerged in salinised soil, tuber yields were decreased by 21–54% and 42–59% in the intermediate and the high salinities, respectively. A differential response of various cultivars to salinity was observed. None of the potato cultivars or clones exhibited exceptional tolerance to severe salinity. The earlier maturing cvs Atica and Désirée were the least susceptible to the moderate salinity imposed throughout the entire growing season; however, no association was noted between maturation time and the response to salinity.     

Heat tolerance and cold tolerance of cultivated potatoes measured by the chlorophyll-fluorescence method

Heat and cold tolerances were determined for 13 clones of the commonly cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum L. Five clones were considered to be adapted to warm climates and the others to cool climates only in terms of their ability to produce tubers. The decrease in the rate of the induced rise in chlorophyll fluorescence after heating leaves at 41°C for 10 min was used to measure relative heat tolerance, and the decrease following chilling at 0°C was used to measure relative cold tolerance. The warm-adapted clones all showed enhanced heat tolerance compared with the cool-adapted clones. Higher heat tolerance was also correlated with a greater tolerance towards a cold stress of 0°C and it is suggested that the warm-adapted clones were selections showing an increased generalized capacity to withstand environmental stresses of several kinds rather than a specific genotypic adaptation to tolerate warm temperatures. Heat and cold tolerances were also determined for several other species of potato cultivated in the Andean region of South America. Of these, S. phureja, which is found at low altitudes on the eastern slopes of the Andes, showed a tolerance to heat comparable to that of the warm-adapted clones of the common potato, the two most heat tolerant of which contained some phureja in their parentage. Diploid and triploid species of cultivated potatoes were considerably more cold tolerant than the clones of the common potato, a tetraploid. The genetic variability for heat and cold tolerance in cultivated and wild potatoes is discussed in relation to increasing the tolerance of the potato to these stresses.     

Differential stress responses to NaCl salt application in early- and late-maturing diploid potato (Solanum sp.) clones

Cultivated tetraploid potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are moderately salt sensitive but greater stress tolerance exists in diploid wild types. However, little work has been published on salt-tolerance in diploid potato. This study utilized sensitive and tolerant diploid potatoes as well as a commercially cultivated potato to investigate mechanisms of stress tolerance. Stem cuttings from salt-tolerant (T) and sensitive (S) clones of early-maturing (EM) and late-maturing (LM) diploid potato clones were stressed for 5 days at the tuber initiation stage with 150 mmol NaCl in a hydroponic sand culture under greenhouse conditions. The stress responses of the early- and late-maturing potato clones were distinctly different. Under stress, early-maturing clones accumulated Na⁺ in the leaf tissues while late-maturing clones generally excluded Na⁺ from the leaf tissues. Salt tolerant clones of both maturity types were able to tolerate high levels of Na⁺ in the leaf tissues. The lower leaves accumulated more Na⁺ than the upper leaves in both maturity types. The potassium to sodium ratio was significantly greater in the leaves of the late-maturing types, reflecting differences in Na⁺ accumulation rather than alterations in K⁺ levels. Proline levels increased upon salt exposure but were not clearly associated with salinity tolerance. Tolerance was manifested in maintenance of vegetative growth, tuber yield, and reduced leaf necrosis. These responses require efficient uptake of water and source–sink translocation. Maintenance of stomatal conductance under stress was not associated with these responses but tuber yield was related to lower-leaf osmotic potential (OP) in both early- and late-maturity types. Salt tolerant clones of both maturity types also had less negative tuber OP under salt stress than sensitive types. High yielding EMT and LMT clones either minimized tuber yield loss or even increased yield after exposure to salt stress. Mechanistic studies and screening experiments for salt tolerant clones should consider maturity type, leaf position and source–sink relationships enhancing tuber yield.     

Tolerance responses to herbivory: implications for future management strategies in potato

Tolerance is a plant response to herbivory that allows plants to sustain defoliation without any fitness consequences. In agriculture, the maximum amount of defoliation that crops can experience without yield loss is defined as the damage threshold. Damage thresholds can be used to develop tolerance‐based management strategies, which would offer guidelines for farmers for when pest control should be enacted to minimise pesticide use while maintaining yield. Damage thresholds for many varieties of potatoes, Solanum tuberosum, have been documented, but not consolidated into a general framework. We aggregated data from published studies and quantified the effects of variety, maturity group, life stage and defoliation mechanisms on damage thresholds to inform a tolerance‐based management strategy for potato. Late maturing varieties did not have different damage thresholds than early maturing varieties. Damage thresholds were greater than 60% defoliation at emergence and post‐bloom and less than 40% defoliation pre‐bloom and during bloom. If the stems were damaged, emergence and post‐bloom damage thresholds were reduced from 60% defoliation without stem damage to 35% and 52% defoliation with stem damage. Likewise, the damage thresholds during bloom were reduced to 20% defoliation when stems were damaged. We propose using action thresholds based on defoliation as a baseline to develop a tolerance‐based management strategy for potatoes.     

Human health risks arising from nitrate in potatoes consumed in Iran and calculation nitrate critical value using risk assessment study

Because of the low amount of nitrogen and organic matter in most soils of Iran, it is recommended to use nitrogen fertilizers in potato fields. Nitrate accumulates in plants naturally and if it enters into the human body it can threaten human health. There is not enough information about nitrate distribution in potatoes in Iran and a scientific value of critical level of nitrate in potatoes in Iran. The objective of this study, then, is to: determine the amount of nitrate in potatoes produced in different parts of Iran, assess the human health risks arising from potatoes nitrate, and calculate the critical concentration of nitrate in potato, using a risk assessment study and Iranian food basket. Two hundred and seventy-seven samples were collected from main provinces producing potatoes in Iran. Concentration of nitrate was measured in all samples. Results showed that Kerman province has more nitrate pollution and non cancer risk arising from nitrate. The most sensitive group to nitrate was boys 7–14 years old residing in Kerman province. Critical value of nitrate in potato for this receptor group, then for Iranian society in conservative conditions, was calculated using intake equations introduced by the USEPA and considering Iranian food basket as 246 mg kg^–1.     

A method for estimating the contribution of seed potatoes, machinery and soil tare in field infestations with potato cyst nematodes on a national scale

In order to make a cost benefit analysis for the management of the potato cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida, we developed a method to estimate the relative importance of three basic distribution channels of potato cyst nematodes: seed potatoes, machinery and soil tare. The baseline is determined by the area planted with potatoes, the area infested with potato cysts, the proportion of resistant potato cultivars and the distribution of cysts trough different channels. This quantification forms a basis for the evaluation of the effects of different control measures for potato cyst nematode on a national scale. The method can be useful as an example for application in other countries.
