The mashed potatoes or latkes that enhance your holiday feast have taken a long path from tuber to table – in many cases, several years. A project at Cornell University could trim that time.

Joseph Pavek bred the popular potato variety Ranger Russet and developed much of the germplasm still used by breeders today, though he retired in 1999.

Corn oil significantly reduces cholesterol with more favorable changes in total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-C than extra virgin olive oil, new research shows.

A new University of Idaho economic report shows potato procution costs have held steady.

Computers are constantly getting smarter. But can they ever be creative? A team of IBM researchers believes so. They’ve built a program that uses math, chemistry, and vast quantities of data to churn out new and unusual recipes.

Un grupo internacional de investigadores de 14 países, que incluye a especialistas del INTA, integraron la secuencia del genoma con un mapa genético. Permitirá identificar los genes del rendimiento y de la calidad.

La Universidad Nacional de Colombia ha desarrollado una metodología sencilla y eficiente denominada inmunoimpresión (IMI), a través de la cual la detección viral se realiza con un anticuerpo específico de reconocimiento.

Se reciben propuestas para trabajar en un programa de investigación de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato (UTA), inicialmente en el área de germoplasma de papa.

Scientists with the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service potato genetics program in Aberdeen, Idaho, were granted special permission to return to work during the US government shutdown, potentially preventing the loss of unique breeding material.

Destinada a facilitadores y técnicos de campo para ser usada en prácticas con agricultores y estudiantes. Provee descripciones cortas y fotografías de las principales plagas que afectan al cultivo de papa.

Línea de tiempo que incluye algunos de los eventos más importantes ocurridos en América y Europa durante el desarrollo de la papa genéticamente modificada.

This webcast by the Plant Management Network on Potato Psyllids, responsible for the transfer of the Zebra chip disease consists of two parts:

State-of-the-art geographic and analytical mapping tools help CIP scientists to anticipate the adverse effects of erosion, urbanization, tourism, mining, and climate change on the potato species, and in turn help to protect the potato for future survival.

Nora Olsen is The Potato Association of America president for 2013-2014. Olsen is a professor and Extension potato specialist at the University of Idaho’s Kimberly Research and Extension Center.

About the same number of potato psyllids have been caught on sticky traps in Idaho fields this season as by this time last summer, but far fewer of the tiny, winged insects have tested positive for the Liberibacter bacterium, which causes the crop dise...

The Prince Edward Island Potato Board is hoping a new investment in oil seed research will help farmers make the most of a growing oilseed industry.

A team of Argentinian scientists led by Fernando Bravo Almonacid, independent researcher of CONICET at the Institute for Research on Genetic Engineering and Molecular Biology (INGEBI, CONICET-UBA), developed potato plants resistant to Potato Virus Y (P...

De Jong, a potato breeder and geneticist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, hopes that at least one of the plants will yield a best seller, but it’s far more likely that they’ll amount to compost.
