Physiology Navarre, Roy [1], Shakya, Roshani [2], Goyer, Aymeric [3], Holden, Joanne [1], Novy, Richard [4]. Germplasm Mining in Potato to Enhance Nutritional Quality and Disease Resistance. A germplasm mining approach is being used to screen potatoes for lines with elevated amounts of folic acid and vitamin C. Additionally, high-throughput LC-MS is used to identify lines with enhanced amounts of phenolic compounds that may be desirable in the human diet or that may play a role in disease/pest resistance. Screening numerous lines identified substantial quantitative and qualitative differences in some of these compounds amongst diverse germplasm. LC-MS was also used to compare phenolic profiles amongst healthy or infected tubers, or susceptible/resistant germplasm.
