This review draws on more than a century of published literature to give a comprehensive overview of potato tuber lenticels. This review describes the development and structure of lenticels, as well as the number of lenticels per tuber. Lenticels facilitate gas exchange between the atmosphere and the interior of the tuber, and data on lenticel permeability to oxygen and carbon dioxide are summarized. Conditions that promote proliferation of filling cells and lenticel enlargement are described in the context of laboratory experiments and observations from the field. Lenticels are potential sites of infection by plant pathogens including common scab, powdery scab and late blight. Research demonstrating interactions between lenticels and various diseases is presented, with an emphasis on potato soft rot. Many aspects of lenticel biology remain poorly understood and a few compelling unanswered questions are highlighted.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7596,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Potato Research","volume":"100 4","pages":"253 - 264"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12230-023-09923-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44714946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CIP-PODEROSA CROCANTE has high horizontal resistance to late blight (LB), high tuber yield, excellent quality for frying in French fries, red skin, oval tuber shape, cream flesh and superficial eyes, with crispy texture, adapted from 0 to 3700 m above sea level (m.a.s.l.); CIP-PODEROSA POLLERA has high horizontal resistance to LB, yellow skin with blue around the superficial eyes, elongated oval tuber shape, yellow flesh, it is suited to accompany grilled chicken (“Pollo a la brasa”) a typical dish in Peru, adapted from 2000 to 3700 m.a.s.l.; and CIP-PODEROSA WATIA, which in addition to resistance to LB and quality for frying, has excellent aptitude for baking, superficial eyes, light red skin, cream flesh, and is adapted from 0 to 3700 m.a.s.l. These varieties were released in 2022 and officially registered in the national registry of commercial varieties of Peru in 2023. They have low content of glycoalkaloids and acrylamides, require lower use of fungicides, and therefore present higher economic profitability. These varieties can also be used in other countries as parental material in genetic improvement programs or evaluated under regional environments to be registered as new varieties.</p></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7596,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Potato Research","volume":"100 4","pages":"288 - 303"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12230-023-09917-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42362126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In early season harvest, this variety produced an average of 29.0 t/ha potato, which was 30.0% greater than the popular early bulking check variety Granola.

The BARI Alu-86 variety is famed for its delicious qualities as well as its visually appealing tubers with red skin, long oval shape, shallow eyes, and cream-coloured flesh. Average combined sensory ratings (16.1 out of 19) were very similar to Lady Rosetta. It had an average dry matter content of 18%, specific gravity of 1.072, and starch content of 20.9 mg/g.
