Development of fast screening methods for developing countries to improve quantity and quality of carbohydrates in potato, sweetpotato and yambean
Project
Project code: 81112050
Contract period: 01.03.2009
- 31.12.2010
Budget: 60,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The goal of this study will be to develop a fast and inexpensive near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) screening method for predicting quantity and quality of plant carbohydrates (CHO), on the basis of investigation into the quantity and quality of plant CHO in potato (modern and Andean Solanum groups), sweetpotato and Andean yambean grown in Peru. The new developed method will be applied by an existing global NIRS network to predict quantity and quality of plant CHO simultaneously with other traits.
