| Exotic potatoes other than S. tuberosum ssp. tuberosum cultivars may have a high interest in terms of commercialization in Russia and in Europe. In Finland, on the market there is already one potato cultivar called Blue Congo, which has a dark purple skin also with a purple flesh. This clearly shows that potatoes even with considerably irregular shape and completely exceptional flesh colour can have market potential. Some potato species are known to have high protein content in tubers, which is also important for need of production in developing countries. Certain genotypes can be valuable sources of vitamins, dietary fibre and certain minerals such as copper, potassium, iron and magnesium. Potatoes may also contain a broad variation of NJF... |

| Development of black scurf on potato tubers (cv. Nicola) was compared in plants inoculated with isolates of Rhizoctonia solani of three anastomosis groups (AG2-1, AG3 and AG5) which occur in potato crops in Finland. All isolates induced stem canker lesions but only isolates of AG3 formed efficiently black scurf on progeny tubers. Among the AG2-1 and AG5 isolates tested, only one AG2-1 isolate formed a few sclerotia on 13.5 % of the progeny tubers in one experiment. The data indicate that isolates of AG3 differ from those of AG2-1 and AG5 in having a higher ability to form sclerotia on tubers. Therefore, while AG2-1 and AG5 isolates have a broader host range, AG3 is more efficient in producing black scurf, which provides this anastomosis group with more... |
