2015 Research Progress Report Potato Breeding and Selection Submitted by David G. Holm, Caroline Gray, and Katrina Zavislan San Luis Valley Research Center Introduction The major objectives of the Colorado Potato Breeding and Selection Program are: (1) to develop new potato cultivars with increased yield, improved quality, improved nutritional and health characteristics, resistance to diseases and pests, and tolerance to environmental stresses; (2) to collaborate with growers, shippers, processors, and research/extension personnel to assess the production, adaptability, marketability, and other characteristics of advanced selections from the Colorado program; (3) to provide a basic seed source of selections to growers for seed increase and commercial testing; (4) to evaluate promising selections for possible interstate and international export. The primary emphasis is placed on the development of russet cultivars. The balance of the breeding effort is devoted to developing red, specialty, and chipping cultivars. This broad approach recognizes the diverse markets accessed by potato growers throughout Colorado. Besides the major objectives, specific breeding emphasis is being placed on identifying germplasm and developing cultivars that have: (1) early vine maturity and early tuber bulking; (2) immunity to PVY; resistance to (3) late blight (foliar and tuber); (4) storage rots [dry rot (Fusarium and early blight) and bacterial soft rot]; (5) pink rot; (6) nematodes; (7) powdery scab; (8) corky ringspot, and (9) improved nutritional quality, health attributes, and other "consumer" characteristics such as improved red skin color retention and shelf life. Continued emphasis has been placed on breeding/selecting for "low input" cultivars, primarily for reduced nitrogen and fungicide input, and for improved postharvest and processing qualities such as lengthened dormancy. Cultivars with these characteristics will help assure that the potato industry in Colorado remains productive and competitive. Cultivar development is a five-step process. The first step is the generation of segregating populations followed by evaluation of visual agronomic traits. This involves identifying parents with desired characteristics for crossing to produce true (botanical) potato seed (TPS). TPS is planted to produce seedling tubers for field planting. Second, superior progeny are identified and these selections undergo additional evaluation for economically important characteristics. Third, a profile of cultivar specific management criteria - production and postharvest - are developed. A grower, shipper, processor, and/or marketer may fine tune for his/her operation. Fourth, a basic seed source of the selections is developed 1

to facilitate further seed increase and commercial testing of advanced selections. Finally, market development takes place to determine consumer acceptance and recognition in the intended market. Each of these integrated steps is critical in the development and commercialization of new cultivars and provides the base for a successful cultivar release. The process of cultivar development takes 14 or more years. Years 1 and 2 are the potato breeding phase of the development process. Parents are selected and crossed to produce true potato seed. Seedling tubers are then produced from the true seed in year 2. Year 3 and later years represent the selection phase of the development process. Each year represents another cycle of field selection. As each cycle is completed, fewer and fewer clones remain and the amount of seed per selection is increased. Clones remaining after eight cycles of field selection are released to growers for evaluations prior to official release as a named cultivar. Table 1 presents a detailed description of the steps involved in developing new potato cultivars. The long-term process of cultivar development fosters collaborations among growers, shippers, processors, researchers, and extension personnel. The network must provide for a grower evaluation process to assist in the development of management guidelines, detect unforeseen problems, and determine the predictability of performance of each new cultivar. Because the timeline for cultivar development is lengthy, improved methods to speed up the breeding and selection process are continually evaluated. Technologies such as marker assisted selection provide opportunities, in concert with existing and new collaborators, to facilitate accelerated and focused breeding for high priority characteristics. A priority of the potato cultivar development process is to provide a solid foundation for the development and commercialization of new potato cultivars prior to the formal naming and release process. As such, potato cultivar development is a long-term process and is difficult to shorten significantly. Potato Breeding Germplasm Accession and Introgression. Germplasm with late blight resistance, virus resistance (PVX, PVY, and PLRV), nematode resistance, and other characteristics of importance is continually being acquired from various sources. Primary sources are the USDA-ARS in Aberdeen, Idaho; Prosser, Washington; Madison, Wisconsin; and Oregon State University. Other sources are Asia, Europe, and South America. All of these materials are incorporated into our germplasm in the breeding program. Carotenoid Enhancement. Carotenoids are phytonutrients produced in the tuber flesh of potatoes that contain various health benefits such as reduction of cardiovascular diseases, some cancers, and macular degeneration. We initiated an effort to enhance the carotenoid content of our yellow fleshed selections in 2007 by hybridizing two high carotenoid selections obtained from Dr. Chuck Brown, USDA-ARS, Prosser Washington. The first product to come from this work was selection CO07131-1W/Y (PA4X137-12 x 4X91E22). This selection (shown to the right) produces small tubers with very dark yellow flesh. It is currently being used as a parent. A small planting by a grower is planned for 2016. 2

In 2009 we initiated another effort to enhance the tuber cartenoid content. Dr. Kathy Haynes, USDA- ARS, Beltsville, Maryland, developed a diploid hybrid population of Solanum phureja x Solanum stenotomum adapted to long-day growing conditions. This was accomplished by recurrent selection. TPS of several families was initially planted in 2009 in the greenhouse. Resulting seedling tubers were planted in the field in 2010 with initial field selection for dark yellow flesh occurring in the fall. Currently 10 selections remain and we have started to utilize a subset of them as parents. Seedlings tubers of five crosses were produced in 2015 and will be planted in the field in 2016. TPS of two more crosses are currently being grown in the greenhouse. These seedling tubers will be planting in the field in 2017. We also acquired 4 diploid Solanum phureja cultivars from The James Hutton Institute (formerly the Scottish Crop Research Institute) via MyInefield Research Services in 2012. The cultivars and release year are Mayan Gold (2001), Inca Dawn (2003), Mayan Queen (2008), and Mayan Twilight (2008). We have produced seedling tubers from Inca Dawn and Mayan Gold crosses. They were planted as single hills in 2014 and 2015. Fifty-eight selections remain (51 Inca Dawn crosses and 7 Mayan Gold crosses). While some of the progeny had more of a wild appearance (shown on the right), others had good tuber type. TPS of seven more crosses of this type are growing in the greenhouse now and resulting tubers will be planted in the field in 2017. The United States Potato Genebank (NRSP-6) has also been working with Colombian sources of Solanum phureja. These materials are commonly referred to papa criolla. We received TPS of three criolla families from NRSP-6. Seedling tubers are currently being produced for field planting in 2017. Crossing. The Colorado Potato Breeding and Selection Program intercrossed 93 parental clones in 2015 in two separate crossing blocks. The emphasis of the first crossing block was russet and red cultivar development and general disease resistance, primarily PVY resistance. The second crossing block emphasized russet and yellow flesh cultivar development, and resistance to PVY and nematodes. Seed from 549 combinations was obtained. A subset of these crosses will be planted in the greenhouse in 2016 to produce seedling tubers. Approximately 35,579 first-size seedling tubers representing 168 families were produced from 2014 greenhouse crosses for initial field selection in 2016. These seedlings represented crosses segregating primarily for russets, yellows, reds, specialty types, and resistance to late blight, PVY, corky ringspot, and nematodes. Second through fourth size seedling tubers will be distributed to Idaho (USDA-ARS), Maine, Oregon, Texas, and Alberta, Canada (Agriculture Canada). Seedling Selection and Clonal Development Colorado grew 86,349 first-year seedlings representing 456 families in 2015, with 742 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 865 clones were in 12-hill, preliminary, and intermediate stages of selection. At harvest, 242 were saved for further increase and evaluation in 2016. Sixty-two advanced selections were saved and will be increased in 2016 pending further evaluation. Another 271 selections and cultivars were maintained for germplasm development, breeding, and other experimental purposes including seed increase/maintenance. 3

Field trials conducted in 2015 included: Preliminary Trial, Intermediate Yield Trial, Intermediate Specialty Yield Trial, Advanced Yield Trial, Southwestern Regional Russet Trial, Southwestern Regional Red Trial, Southwestern Regional Specialty Trial, Western Regional Russet/Processing Trial, Western Regional Red Trial, Western Regional Specialty Trial, San Luis Valley Chipping Trial, and Western Regional Chipping Trial. All trials are grown under "low input" conditions, primarily for reduced nitrogen and fungicide. Tables 2-15 present the data for the various trials. Appendix 1 summarizes the cultural information for the trials planted at the San Luis Valley Research Center in 2015. A total of 170 samples are in the process of being evaluated for two or more of the following postharvest characteristics: blackspot susceptibility, storage weight loss, dormancy, enzymatic browning, specific gravity, french fry color, french fry texture, and chip color. Appendix 2 lists the procedures used for the postharvest evaluations for the trials.

Collaborative Studies The following collaborative studies were conducted in 2015: Several advanced selections were evaluated for disease symptom expression screening trials in Colorado. These trials were conducted in cooperation with Andrew Houser and Kent Sather. Diseases included were bacterial ring rot (21 selections), PVY (17 selections), and powdery scab (18 selections) in Colorado. Additionally we provided six selections to Sastry Jayanty for powdery scab evaluations. Several advanced selections were distributed to state/usda-ars collaborators in Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin for additional disease evaluations. These selections were screened for one or more of the following diseases: late blight, early blight, scab (common and powdery), PVY, Verticillim wilt, and zebra chip. Twelve advanced selections were evaluated in cultural management trials in collaboration with Samuel Essah. Several selections were evaluated for various postharvest characteristics in collaboration with Sastry Jayanty. Three selections were entered in the National Fry Processing Trials conducted in Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, Maine, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota (screening for common scab and PVY). A focus of these trials is to identify selections with low acrylamide potential and that have suitable QSR attributes. Five selections were entered in the National Chip Processing Trials. These trials were planted in up to 11 locations in northern and southern production areas of the US. Trials were conducted in California, Florida, North Carolina, Oregon, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Texas, North Dakota, and Wisconsin (plus a scab trial). Four selections were entered in the USPB/Snack Food Association Trials. These trials were planted in up to 11 locations in northern and sourthern production areas of the US. Trials were conducted in California, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Several selections were provided to Adam Heuberger. His research program focuses on using metabolomics to evaluate nutrition and health traits in advanced selections in our breeding program. Graduate Students Sara Kammlade, MS student.

The development of potato cultivars with improved flavor in the San Luis Valley has the potential to expand the region s fresh potato market by focusing on consumer appeal. Through analysis of existing cultivars, the objective of this project is to establish a flavor rating methodology for potato selections based on correlation of HS-SPME/GC-MS quantification of major flavor compounds and sensory panel tests. Flavor ratings will guide germplasm screening in the breeding process, which will enable the development of new cultivars with improved flavor. Greg Hess. Greg is coadvised by Sastry Jayanty, Adam Heuberger, and David Holm. His thesis is focused on screening select progeny for genetic markers associated with PVY resistance. Multiple PVY resistant lines of Solanum tuberosum will be crossed to develop segregating populations. Up to 300 progeny of a selected cross will be molecularly screened using primers targeting the Ryadg (andigena) and Rysto (stoloniferum) genes. Potato Breeding Program Advisory Committee The Potato Breeding Advisory Committee had its inaugural meeting on November 12, 2015 with 11 in attendance. Several topics were discussed including current and future goals for breeding (market classes) and trait improvement, increasing grower involvement, feedback forms for production and storage of advanced selections, tours of the breeding program and related programs, and venues for reporting.

Table 1. Generalized potato breeding and selection scheme used at the SLV Research Center. Year Comments 1 Select parents for crossing and true seed production in the greenhouse. 2 Produce seedling tubers from true seed in the greenhouse. 3 70,000-80,000 seedling tubers planted in the field as single hills. Several thousand tubers are obtained from other breeding programs. Initial selection of this material takes place at harvest. First cycle of field selection. 4 Twelve-hills of each single-hill selection are planted. Second cycle of field selection. 5 Preliminary Selections Tier 1 (PT1). Third cycle of field selection (48 plant tuber-unit seed increase). Initial evaluations for chipping qualities (chip color after various storage regimes and specific gravity) are conducted this year and subsequently. 6 Preliminary Selections Tier 2 (PT2). Fourth cycle of field selection (96 plant tuber-unit seed increase). Initial evaluations to characterize selections for blackspot bruise potential, storage weight loss, dormancy, and enzymatic browning. Initial evaluations for french fry potential (french fry color and specific gravity) are conducted this year and subsequently. Evaluations for chipping qualities are continued. 7 Intermediate Selections. Fifth cycle of field selection. Initial data collected on yield, grade, and growth characteristics. Plant a 144 plant tuber-unit seed increase and a 2 rep x 25 plants intermediate yield trial (IYT). 8-14+ Advanced Selections: Includes selections that have advanced from the IYT. Additional selections are included that have graduated from the Southwest Regional and Western Regional Trials. The advanced yield trials for reds, specialty types, and chippers are planted with entries in the Western Regional Red, Specialty and Chip Trials. Selections are in the 6th-12th+ cycles of field selection. All advanced yield trials (AYT) have 4 reps x 25 plants. Sixth and seventh cycle field selections respectively have a 400/1,200 plant tuber-unit seed increase. All 8th year selections have up to a 1/3 acre tuber-unit seed increase planted. All 9 th year and older selections generally have up to a ½ acre or more of seed increase depending on grower demand. Selections in the sixth cycle of selection are indexed for viruses and cleanup/micropropagation is initiated. Testing for ring rot and PLRV reaction is also initiated at this stage and continues as needed. Selections in the 7th cycle of field selection are entered into cultural management trials and postharvest disease reaction (dry rot and soft rot) evaluations. 10 All 8 th year selections are entered in the Southwest Regional Trials (4 locations - CO, TX, two in CA). Cultural management trials and postharvest disease reaction evaluations continue as needed. 11-13 All 9 th -11 th year selections are entered in the Western Regional Trials (4 trials): main (russets and long whites), reds, specialties, and chippers. The Western Coordinating Committee (WERA027) directs these trials at 10+ locations in the Western United States each year. Cultural management trials and postharvest disease reaction evaluations continue as needed. 11+ Grower/industry evaluations. The Colorado Potato Breeding and Selection Project relies on the cooperation of several growers, shippers, and processors to evaluate advanced selections for adaptability and marketability. 14+ Release as a named cultivar.

APPENDIX 2. General procedures used for postharvest evaluations. Blackspot. Ten randomly selected tubers for each clone tested are bruised on the stem and bud ends with a 150 g weight dropped from a height of 60 cm. Tubers are stored at 40F prior to bruising and warmed up for 24 hours prior to bruising. After bruising, tubers are stored at room temperature for two days prior to evaluation. Blackspot susceptibility is evaluated by cutting the tubers in half longitudinally and rating the extent of damage. Blackspot is rated on a 1 to 5 scale, with 5 indicating no discoloration. Storage Weight Loss and Dormancy. Ten randomly selected tubers are weighed and stored at 45F for approximately a three month period under low relative humidity conditions to evaluate storage weight loss potential. These tubers are also observed weekly for sprout growth. Dormancy is reported as days after harvest to first visible sprout growth. Enzymatic Browning. Five tubers of each clone are cut in half lengthwise and rated for degree of darkening 60 minutes later. Degree of darkening is rated on a 1 to 5 scale, with 5 indicating no discoloration. Specific Gravity. Specific gravity is determined using the air/water method. Fry Color and Texture. Fry color and texture is determined at or shortly after harvest and after a minimum of eight weeks of storage at 45F. Fries are cooked for 3 ½ minutes at 375F. Fry color is rated on a 0-4 scale using the USDA color standards. Color ratings <2 are acceptable. Fry texture is rated on a 1 to 5 scale, with 5 indicating that the cooked flesh was dry and mealy, with 1 representing a soggy, wet texture. Chip Color. Chip color is determined after an interval of storage at 40 and 50F and after reconditioning for three weeks at 60F. Chips are cooked at 365F until bubbling slows. Chip color is rated using the Snack Food Association 1-5 scale. Ratings <2.0 are acceptable. 114
