Western Regional Russet Early/Late Results – Rich Novy

• Reviewed: 2016 Western Regional Potato Variety Trial Report; compiled by Brian Schneider (USDA-ARS). Report can be found at ars.usda.gov/main/docs.htm?docid=21888
• Tom Salaiz (McCain) asked a question about statistics; there were no differences statistically on early yield results
• Tom Salaiz (McCain) asked how sugar ends are rated. Rich Novy (USDA-ARS) said each location has their own system. Rich Novy said Aberdeen rates harder than industry. Chelsey Lowder (UI) said they use visual. Douglas Scheuring (TAMU) said they use visual. Sagar Sathuvalli (OSU) said they use stem end difference; more than 15 photovolt difference. Rich Novy (USDA-ARS) asked Tom Salaiz (McCain) if there was a different way he would like that done, Tom said no.
• Creighton Miller (TAMU) made a clarification that entry #15 is yellow flesh russet with red eyes.
• Jonathan Whitworth (USDA-ARS) reviewed results from disease table #12

California: Rob Wilson, Intermountain Research and Extension Center, completed a cultural management study in 2016 that included graduated entries from the Western Regional program.  The management study evaluated black spot and white knot bruising on Russet entries in storage. 

Colorado: Colorado grew 86,244 first-year seedlings representing 520 families in 2016, with 419 selected for subsequent planting, evaluation, and increase in future years.  A portion of these seedlings were obtained from the USDA-ARS (Aberdeen, Idaho), Agriculture Canada, Texas A&M University, North Dakota State University, and the University of Maine.  Another 907 clones were in 12-hill, preliminary, and intermediate stages of selection.  At harvest, 289 were saved for further increase and evaluation in 2016.  Sixty-six advanced selections were saved and will be increased in 2017 pending further evaluation.  Another 284 selections and cultivars were maintained for germplasm development, breeding, and other experimental purposes including seed increase/maintenance.

Idaho: In 2016, potato breeding clones, including 99,400 single hills (1^st field generation clones), were planted, maintained, and harvested at three seed sites, with advanced breeding clones evaluated in 32 replicated field trials in six locations across southern Idaho for their potential as new potato varieties. Particular emphasis was placed on selecting breeding clones with adaptation to local conditions, dual utility with use in both fresh and processing markets, production efficiency, and multiple disease resistances. Twenty-two entries from the Aberdeen program were entered in advanced agronomic and processing trials in the Tri-State and Western Regional to assess their performance relative to industry standards.

In addition, the breeding program is progressing in developing germplasm with genetic resistance to PVY, PVX, and PLRV, PMTV, late blight (foliar and tuber), nematodes, corky ringspot and zebra chip disease, for example entries A08422-2VRsto and A08433-4VR both exhibit extreme resistance to PVY. Additional studies were conducted in 2016 designed to compare nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency of 6 new varieties or advanced clones from the breeding program with that of Russet Burbank. All had significantly higher N and P use efficiency than Russet Burbank.

Also in 2016, two varieties released by the Tri-State Potato Variety Development Program, Blazer Russet and Clearwater Russet, were accepted by McDonald’s for French fry production. As a result, four of the seven potato varieties currently accepted by McDonald’s for French fry production in North America were developed by the Tri-State program.

Oregon: Tri-State varieties continue to perform well in various production regions throughout the USA and abroad. Breeding efforts at OSU complement and enhance those of the USDA/ARS programs in Aberdeen, ID and Prosser, WA by incorporating disease and pest resistances using multi-trait genotypic recurrent selection.  Molecular techniques have been refined, which should hasten the transfer of desirable genes among varieties and introgression of novel genes from related wild species.  Recent collaborations with USDA/ARS faculty at Aberdeen, ID resulted in the combination of PVY, PVX, and pale cyst nematode resistance in a single cross using molecular markers.  OSU has recently validated the use of similar markers to screen for resistance to Columbia root-knot nematode (CRKN) and late blight Rb genes.  We are developing new molecular markers linked to resistance to CRKN and also identifying new sources of resistance to roza pathotype of CRKN and Verticillium wilt. Further, we fingerprinted all the varieties handled by PVMI using SSR markers and SNP markers and the data is available for the public at PVMI.org.

Texas: 73,043 first year seedlings, resulting from 463 different parental combination or families (crosses), were grown for selection on the Barrett Farm (33,161) near Springlake and on the CSS Farm (41,659) near Dalhart. Virtually all of the russet potatoes grown in Texas in 2016 were the improved Texas Russet Norkotah strains.  Over the past several years, Texas recorded the highest summer crop yields in the nation (ranging from 440-465 Cwt/A) among some 9 states producing a summer crop.  In 2016, the four Texas Russet Norkotah selections (TXNS112, TXNS223, TXNS278, and TXNS296) collectively ranked in the third position among the top 50 US varieties in acres accepted for seed certification. The varieties ranking above these four selections were released years earlier. Reveille Russet, released in 2015, is gaining rapid acceptance, with demand far exceeding seed supply.

Washington: The effect of the Tri-State Potato Variety Development Program on the Northwest potato industry has been substantial. Ranger Russet, Umatilla Russet, Alturas, Bannock Russet, and Clearwater Russet, are examples of russet cultivars released from the Tri-State program that have greatly benefited the United States and Northwest potato industry, being the 3rd, 4th, 7th, 9th, and 10th most widely grown cultivars in the United States in 2016, respectively, with Tri-State varieties representing 33.5%, or 309,000 acres, of the fall crop nationally. (NASS, Crop Production, December, 2016). Ranger Russet, Umatilla Russet, and Alturas were the 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th most widely grown cultivars in the PNW (ID, OR, WA) in 2016, respectively, and accounted for 27% of the PNW planted acreage.  Varieties recently released by the Tri-State program are now produced on more than 143,000 acres in the Pacific Northwest with value to growers estimated at approximately $600 million.  In the past 10 years, the US farm-gate value of Tri-State varieties has increased by approximately $190 million.

Produced detailed growth, development and storability profiles for newly released cultivars (NWVDP) under four levels of in-season N (ranging from deficit to excess), modeled the attainment of tuber physiological maturity and determined subsequent effects of the N levels on retention of nutritional and process qualities during storage.

Screened cultivars/clones for tolerance to high temperature imposed during tuberization, bulking and maturation on postharvest physiology, storability and quality as process and seed potatoes (e.g. Sage Russet, Clearwater, Ranger, A02138-2, POR06V12-3, A02507-2LB).

Evaluated the effects of P nutrition on retention of process quality (Ranger Russet, Russet Burbank, Umatilla Russet, Alpine Russet, Sage Russet, Teton Russet, Alturas).

Determined the effects of water stress imposed at critical periods of tuber development on productivity, water use efficiency, crop value, postharvest physiology and retention of process quality (Teton Russet, Alturas, Targhee Russet, Classic Russet, Clearwater Russet, GemStar Russet, Ranger Russet, Russet Burbank, Umatilla Russet).

Screened advanced LTS-resistant clones from the Northwest Variety Development Program for tolerance to in-season and postharvest heat stress for retention of LTS-resistant phenotype. Determined the effects of heat stress on cold inducible aspects of carbohydrate metabolism (gene expression, enzyme activity, starch catabolism, sugar buildup) in relation to changes in potato process quality.

On average, the potato project engages three to six graduate students, three postdoctoral, five technical, and numerous undergraduate students in the project annually. 

Produced detailed growth, development and storability profiles for newly released cultivars (NWVDP) under four levels of in-season N (ranging from deficit to excess), modeled the attainment of tuber physiological maturity and determined subsequent effects of the N levels on retention of nutritional and process qualities during storage.
