Accomplishments

A. Introduction of New Stocks
Dr. Bamberg, accompanied by Charles Fernandez (US Potato Genebank); Dr. Chuck Brown (USDA, Prosser WA); and Dr. Joe Pavek (USDA, Retired), participated in a successful expedition to the southwest United States and obtained 19 new accessions for the collaborative intergenebank research project, and collected additional populations for screening of Columbia root-knot nematode.
A total of 73 seed accessions were assigned PI numbers in 2002: 16 from Russia, 27 from Poland, 11 from Bolivia, and 19 from the SW United States. Six clonal accessions were assigned PI numbers in 2002: 4 from Mexico, 1 from Poland, and 1 from Bolivia. These accessions are now available from the NRSP-6 Solanum germplasm collection.

B. Preservation and Increase of Stocks
In 2002, a total of 91 accessions were increased as botanical seed populations.
A total of 600 potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) tests were performed on seed increase parents, seed lots and research materials. Germination tests were performed on 1,106 accessions; ploidy determinations were made on 30 accessions.
Research continues on the use of 2,4-D on pollinated flowers to help with fruit retention and seed production. Growth retardants are being assessed for use as tuber and flower promoters in the wild species and as a method to control plant height in greenhouse and screenhouse-grown plants for crossing.
The Association of Potato Intergenebank Collaborators (APIC) constructed a database of all wild potato holdings of the potato genebanks in Argentina, Europe, Peru, and the United States. The Intergenebank Potato Database (IPD) (www.potgenebank.org/ipd/) continues to be a very useful resource for clientele around the world. Dr. Alfonso del Rio represented NRSP-6 at the APIC meeting in Hamburg, Germany.
A study was completed comparing germplasm from the Russian (VIR) and United States (NRSP-6) duplicate accessions. Most are significantly different. Work continues on comparisons between US and CIP collections. The next step in the study will be to look at DNA comparisons to variation in trait expression or frequency between intergenebank seedlots.
Work continued with Dr. C. Millers lab screening for antioxidants in uncolored wild potato species tubers. Previous screening among species identified ones with promising levels of tuber antioxidant capacity. Some diploid Mexican species seem to have high antioxidant in common: S. cardiophyllum, S. jamesii, and S. pinnatisectum. These and other species were retested with multiple PIs. Variation within promising PIs was also studied. Only S. pinnatisectum demonstrated particularly consistent high levels within populations.
Cold resistant breeding work continues with recurrent selection of S. tuberosum, S. acaule and S. commersonii hybrids. Materials are now maturing earlier with the introgression of very early varieties and which survive in vitro leaf freezing to 5oC. Selections were planted at Copic Bay, Oregon area in the summer of 2002. The best selections will be submitted to UW Madison colleagues for more focused lab assessments.
Late Blight screening at a field site very close to Lake Michigan (cool temperatures and high humidity) was completed for a second year. In 2001, two highly segregating PIs of S. microdontum 473170 and S. okadae 458367 and their F2 hybrids were tested. There was a 70% correlation with previous results on the same clones at Cornell by Bill Fry, so this local test will be useful to verify resistance of newly imported germplasm. In 2002, Polish, Russian, Mexican and CIP introductions were tested.
Geographical parameters and proximity to related species predict genetic variation in the inbred potato species Solanum verrucosum. Such links had not been previously detected in S. fendleri, S. jamesii or S. sucrense. Resolution and fine-tuning to locations may be enhanced by inbreeding and uniformity. The highest correlations to genetic rarity (a populations average genetic difference from all others) were latitude, longitude and proximity to the nearest S. hjertingii population.

C. Classification
Dr. Spooner continues to resolve problems in taxonomic classification that impede both efficient documentation and use of the germplasm. At present Dr. Spooner, in collaboration with Dr. R van den Berg, Dr. R. Hijmans, and Dr. A. Rodriguez, is working on a book of Wild Potato Species of North and Central America, which will be a valuable tool for germplasm users worldwide.

D. Distribution
NRSP-6 distributed 3,447 units of seed, 643 tuber families, 919 in vitro stocks and 215 herbarium samples to clientele in 20 states of the United States and 14 other countries. Internally, NRSP-6 used 6,371 units of seed for chromosome counts, germination tests, identification and taxonomic check plantings, in vitro maintenance, seed increases, PSTV tests, and miscellaneous plantings. The volume and types of stocks sent to various consignee categories are summarized in a table available on the full committee copy of the annual report.

WORK PLANNED FOR 2003
Evaluation experiments will be continued on Solanum species for the following traits: antioxidants, frost hardiness, rooting vigor, tuber calcium, late blight resistance, hormone mutants, and glycoalkaloids.
The general objective of NRSP-6, to promote and facilitate potato research and breeding, will be pursued by continuing high quality service with respect to introduction, preservation, classification, evaluation, and distribution of potato germplasm to clients in the U.S. and around the world.
APIC intergenebank projects researching the status and dynamics of genetic diversity in the collection using RAPDs and strengthening ties with sister genebanks around the world will be continued.

Impacts

  1. NRSP-6's purpose is to provide a ready source of raw materials, technology and information to support potato enhancement, breeding and research in the US and around the world. Thus, one way the success of NRSP-6 can be measured is by the use of NRSP-6 germplasm in the pedigrees of new, improved potato cultivars. Another is in the use of NRSP-6 stocks in more basic research programs, which also ultimately contribute to human utilization of the potato crop, these being reflected in publications
  2. Five cultivar releases were published in the American Journal of Potato Research in 2002: AC Sunbury, IdaRose, Red Companion, Gem Russet, and Bannock Russet. All are known to have wild species in their pedigrees.
  3. Publications included 124 papers, 32 abstracts, 1 poster, and 3 theses which report the use of NRSP-6 Solanum introductions this year.
