1 Potato growth in hot climate Physiological disorders affecting tuber marketability Idit Ginzberg Institute of Plant Sciences Agricultural Research Organization (ARO) Volcani Center Israel

2 Israeli climate hot and dry Commercial potatoes are imported from Europe Temperate cold zone Hot dry zone Main growth region (80%)

3 Potato skin & agricultural importance Skin Skin characteristics Corky tissue (suberin) = thermal isolation Lignin-like aromatic components = defense against pathogens Wax & cutin-like aliphatic components = transport barrier for water Prevention of wounding/skinning/black spots Storage quality Marketable appearance

4 Skin morphology Visible light UV Cross section of tuber surface Skin = columns of cells that autofluorescence under UV light

5 Heat induced russeting

6 33 C ~90 F Heat induced russeting Transcriptomic profiling of heatstress response in potato skin Proportion of differentially-expressed genes(%) (526) Amino acids synthesis/degradation Cell division/differentiation/death Cell wall Cytochrome Glycolysis Hormonal metabolism/signalling Lipid metabolism/transport Miscellaneous Nucleotide metabolism Photosynthesis/Photorespiration Protein degradation Protein modification/signalling Protein synthesis Protein targeting Regulation of transcription RNA metabolism/splicing Secondary metabolism Signal transduction Stress Sugar metabolism/transport Transporter Unknown Vesicle trafficking Unspecified Hormonal signaling 20 Cell proliferation & differentiation Stress-related 33 %

15 Relative expression of anthocyanin-related transcripts Heat induced fading of red color reduced anthocyanins? Control Heat treatment 33 C, ~90 F Anthocyanidins level L*a*b* system

16 Toxic steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGA) Toxic secondary metabolites Plant defense response C 27 steroidal skeleton derived from cholesterol α-solanine α-chaconine Solanidine aglycone + glycosyl moiety Impair membrane integrity Inhibit acetylcholine esterase Unaffected by home processing: baking, boiling, frying Allowed concentration in food: 20 mg/100 g tuber FW SGA level is genetically determined Levels may increase following abiotic stress conditions such as high temperatures
