This study was conducted to investigate functional properties of 70% acetone extract in different parts of two potato varieties. 'Superior' and 'Atlantic' potato were processed by following method. Potatoes are washed, peeled, sliced and steamed before hot air drying for flesh and peel powder. Hunter's L and b values of flesh powder from blanched 'Superior' potato were higher than flesh powder from fresh 'Superior' potato. Discoloration of 'Superior' potato was inhibited by steam blanching. Contents of total polyphenol and chlorogenic acid in the 70% acetone extract of 'Superior' potato were higher than those of 'Atlantic' potato paticularly in the blanched flesh and peel. But flavonoid was not detected in flesh extract. The phenolic concentration was not decreased by the heat treatment. The nitritescavenging and electron donating ability was greatest at the tuber peel including the skin and cortex tissue 1mm beneath the skin. From the above results browning reaction and polyphenol contents in different parts of potato slices were dependent on cutivars. Peels contained more polyphenols than those from the flesh. The results indicate that potato peel extract of steam blanched plus hot air dried potato tuber showed the effectiveness as a natural nitrite scavenger and antioxidant.

Attempts were made to improve the textural quality of French-fried potato produced with S potato varieties popular in Korea. The most suitable variety to produce French-fried potato, among 5 varieties tested, was Superior. Texture of French-fried potato was improved by air drying blanched potato strips at room temperature for over 1 hour, immersing potato strips in 6% starch solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 2 minutes, and immersing in 1.5% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC) solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 2 minutes. Textural quality of French-fried potato was significantly improved, when blanched potato strips were subjected to air drying at room temperature for 1 hour, followed by immersing them in 1.5% HPMC solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 2 minutes prior to frying.

To develop the model for prediction of potato late blight progress, the relationship between severity index of potato late blight transformed by the logit and Gompit transformation function and cumulative severity value (CSV) processing weather data during growing period in Taegwallyeong alpine area, 1975 to 1992 were examined. When logistic model and Gompertz model were compared by determining goodness of fit for progressive degree of late blight using CSV as independent variable, the coefficients of determination were higher as 0.742 in the logistic model than 0.680 in the Gompertz model. Parameters in logistic model were composed of progressive rate and initial value of logistic model. Initial value was calculated in -3.664. The progressive rate of potato late blight was 0.137 in cv. Superior, 0.136 in cv. Irish Cobbler, and 0.070 in cv. Jopung without fungicide sprays. According to in crease of the number of spray times the progressive rate was lowered, was 0.020 in cv. Superior under the conventional program of fungicide sprays, 10 times sprays during cropping season. Equation of progressive rate, b1=0.0088 ACSV-0.033 (R2=0.976), was written by examining the relationship between the parameters of progressive rate of late blight and the average CSV (ACSV) quantifing weather information. By estimating parameters of logistic function, model able to describe the late blight progress of potato, cv. Superior was formulated in Y=4/(1+39.0·exp((0.0088 ACSV-0.033)·CSV).

Genetic improvement in potato can be carried out through several approaches, as sexual crosses, somatic hybridization, mutation and genetic engineering. Although the approach is different, but the goal is the same, to get a superior cultivar. Mutation and genetic engineering are very interesting methods for genetic improvement of potato plants. Mutation by gamma-ray irradiation have been performed to get some new potato cultivars which are more resistant to disease and have higher productivity. We have carried out a mutation of some potato cultivars and obtained some excellent clones to be potentially released as new superior cultivars. By the mutation method, we have released one potato cultivar for the French fries industry, and we registered one cultivar of potato for chips, and two cultivar for vegetable potatoes. Actually we are doing multi-location trial for three clones to be released as new cultivars. Through genetic engineering, several genes have been introduced into the potato plant, and we obtained several clones of transgenic potato plants. Transgenic potato plants containing FBPase gene encoding for fructose bisphosphatase, have a higher rate of photosynthesis and higher tuber productivity than non-transgenic plants. This result suggests that FBPase plays an important role in increasing the rate of photosynthesis and potato tuber productivity. Some transgenic potatoes containing the Hd3a gene are currently being evaluated for their productivity. Over expression of the Hd3a gene is expected to increase tuber productivity and induce flowering in potatoes. Transgenic potato plants containing MmPMA gene encoding for plasma membrane ATPse are more tolerant to low pH than non-transgenic plants, indicating that plasma membrane ATPase plays an important role in the potato plant tolerance to low pH stress. Transgenic potato plants containing c-lysozyme genes, are highly tolerant of bacterial wilt diseases caused by Ralstonia solanacearum and bacterial soft rot disease caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum. Expression of c-lyzozyme gene plays an important role in increasing the resistance of potato plants to bacterial diseases.

Three spring potato varieties (Atlantic, Chubaek, and Superior) were cultivated for 80, 90, and 100 days and compared in terms of their total and marketable yields and specific gravities. Subsequently, changes in the quality parameters (weight loss, sprouting rate, disease incidence, dry weight, and specific gravity) of potatoes cultivated for 100 days were monitored during two-month storage in improved and semi-underground warehouses at 4℃ and room temterature. The productivities of Atlantic, Superior, and Chubaek were maximized at cultivation periods of 100, 100, and >90 days, respectively. In all cases, cold storage resulted in <5.3% weight loss and no marketability loss. However, two-month room temperature storage resulted in pronounced marketability loss due to weight loss (6.2, 7.3% and 10.9% for Atlantic, Superior, and Chubaek, respectively) and sprouting (in ~13%, >75%, and 99% of Atlantic, Superior, and Chubaek tubers, respectively). The marketability of Atlantic, Superior, and Chubaek during cold storage was maintained for >2, ~2, and <2 months, respectively. All varieties were characterized by rapid sprouting, low dry weight and specific gravity, and rapid marketability loss during storage.

Potato starches are obtained from Irish Cobbler (the dry type), Shepody and superior (the intermediate type) and Dejima (the moist type). Rheological properties of heat-gelatinized potato starch paste were studied to elucidate difference of various potato starches. Heat-gelatinized 3 to 7% potato starch paste showed pseudo plasticity in yield stress. As starch paste concentration increased, the values of consistency index was increased. Relationship between logarithmic consistency index and concentration of potato starch paste was linear at 5% starch concentration. Concentration dependence of consistency index and yield stress of Shepody was highest. As measuring temperature increased, the value of consistency index was decreased. Irish Cobbler starch paste at $50^{\circ}C$, Shepody, Superior and Dejima starch paste at $60^{\circ}C$ showed linear relationships with different slopes. The activation energies of Shepody starch paste was 3.97㎉l/㏖.

Protopasts were isolated from cultured cells of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber tissue. The ability of callus formation from the culture cells was higher in cultivars Dejima and Superior than in Shimabara and Irish Cobbler on Lam's medium. Therefore, the former was used as sources for protoplast isolation. Friable calli were transferred to liquid media and cells in exponential phase were used for protoplast isolation. In both of Dejima and Superior, the yield of protoplasts was high in the enzyme solution of 2% Onozuka cellulase and 1% macerozyme. Also, viability of isolated protoplasts was very good. Thus, it seems that these protoplasts would be applicable to various aims of research.

Potato(Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the major food crop in the world following rice, wheat, and maize. It is thus important to project yield predict of potato under climate change conditions for assessment of food security. A crop growth modelling is widely used to simulate crop growth condition and total yield of various crops under a given climate condition. The decision support system for agrotechnology transfer (DSSAT) cropping system model, which was developed by U.S. which package integrating several models of 27 different crops, have been used to project crop yield for the impact assessment of climate change on crop production. In this study, we simulated potato yield using RCP 8.5 climate change scenario data, as inputs to the DSSAT model in five regions of Korea. The genetic coefficients of potato cultivar for 'superior', which is one of the most widely cultivated potato variety in Korea were determined. The GenCalc program, which is a submodule of the DSSAT package, was used to determine the genetic coefficients for the superior cultivar. The values of genetic coefficients were validated using results of 39 experiments performed over seven years in five regions. As a case study, the potato yield was projected that total yields of potato across five regions would increase by 26% in 2050s but decrease by 17% in 2090s, compared with 2010s. These results suggested that the needs for cultivation and irrigation technologies would be considerably large for planning and implementation of climate change adaptation for potato production in Korea.
