This project aims to enhance potato breeding by developing varieties that can be stored below 8 degrees Celsius without quality loss. By utilizing genomic selection, it seeks to identify and select traits that improve storage and processing characteristics, reducing reliance on chemical sprout suppressants.
Ireland produces potatoes locally to satisfy its indigenous crisping industry.
However, over 50,000 tonnes of potatoes still need to be imported each year due to problems with the long term storage of locally produced product.
Potatoes destined for crisping are normally stored at 8 degrees, below this glucose accumulates leading to very dark fry colours and potential acrylamide build up.
Unfortunately, sprouting occurs above 8 degrees and impacts product quality.
This necessitates the use of spr…
