Development of novel screening tools to identifiy potato genotypes with low acrylamide potential (DEPOLA)
Project
Project code: MRI-GE-08-1080 DEPOLA
Contract period: 01.03.2017
- 31.12.2020
Purpose of research: Applied research
The ultimate goal of the project is to develop reliable selection tools to be used in breeding programs for generating processing potato varieties with low acrylamide content. Molecular markers and a NIRS rapid screening model will be developed as selection tools in the context of the proposed project. Field Level phenotyping and genome-wide association mapping approaches will be used to develop molecular markers for the selection of potato breeding lines with low acrylamide content; and the developed molecular markers will be validated in a separate population. After quality measurements, potato field trial samples will be fried and their acrylamide contents will be determined with traditional approaches. NIRS measurements of raw and fried potato will be performed using the same samples. Hence, a NIRS protocol and calibration approach will be developed for screening of the potato breeding lines with high potential in industrial use and with low acrylamide content. The validation of the developed NIRS protocol will be performed in a separate population. The selected potato breeding lines will also be tested at storage conditions to select promising lines suitable for longer storage. At the end of the project, the promising potato breeding lines with low acrylamide content and suitable for longer storage along with data on field trials, laboratory quality measurements and storage trials will be ready for registration as potato variety(s) for processing.
