Regulating bud growth through sucrose synthesis and transport is essential for germination. Targeting alkaline invertases (AI) and neutral invertases (NI) genes affects the accumulation of reducing sugars hence to affect germination. The NI genesStNI4,StNI5, andStNI6promote sucrose breakdown in cold...
However, the complex component, especially high moisture content, leads to a higher cost of transportation and processing. The instant catapult steam explosion (ICSE) pretreatment can exploit the intracellular water of lignocellulosic materials and convert into vapors leading towards the breakdown of the...
In genetic enhancement a few cycles of recombination facilitate the breakdown of linkage blocks so that desired traits from unadapted germplasm can be carried forward and undesirable ones left behind, minimizing the effects of linkage drag thus shortening the time required to introgress or incorporate ...
The potato continues to play a dual role in the economy of family farming: firstly, by providing food for home consumption for low-income men and women who rely on agriculture for subsistence as well as income. It therefore plays a role in diet diversification in many developing countries wher...
Using a gender relations approach, the chapter attempts to draw out lessons that can contribute to the design of future potato interventions including research aimed at reducing the gender gap in agriculture in general and potato farming in particular.You have full access to this open access ...

°C to better study the changes in their colour as a function of frying time. The temperature-time profile of potato slices during frying was monitored using a K type thermocouple (0.2 mm diameter; Labfacility, South Yorkshire, UK) and recorded using a data logger (Picotech TC-08, ...
