Role of alkaline/neutral invertases in postharvest storage of potato
2022, Postharvest Biology and TechnologyDevelopmental and postharvest physiological phenotypes of engineered potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) grown in the Columbia Basin
2020, Field Crops ResearchCitation Excerpt :The respiratory and sweetening responses of tubers during cold acclimation, storage at 4 °C, and subsequent reconditioning at 16 °C defined the postharvest physiological phenotypes of Innate® and parental cultivars. Respiration rates are indicative of overall tuber metabolic rates and temperature-dependent starch to sugar interconversion is a sink for metabolic energy (Isherwood, 1973). Changes in tuber respiration rates are driven by changes in “ATP-requiring activities of the cell that pull the process of ATP-yielding catabolism.
Respiratory and low-temperature sweetening responses of fresh-cut potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers to low oxygen
2019, Postharvest Biology and TechnologyCitation Excerpt :Refrigeration remains essential to maintaining shelf-life following cutting of these engineered apple and potato cultivars and is legally required by the FDA to control microbial proliferation (https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/guidance-industry-guide-minimize-microbial-food-safety-hazards-fresh-cut-fruits-and-vegetables#ch6, accessed June 11, 2019). However, unlike apple, potatoes are susceptible to low temperature sweetening (LTS) (Isherwood, 1973; Sowokinos, 2001), which can negatively affect processing and nutritional qualities. Storage of whole tubers of LTS-susceptible potato cultivars below ca 9 °C induces starch breakdown, resulting in the accumulation of reducing sugars (glc and fru) from sucrose via vacuolar acid invertase (Sowokinos, 2001; Bethke, 2014).
Postharvest temperature has a greater impact on apical dominance of potato seed-tuber than field growing-degree days exposure
2018, Field Crops ResearchCitation Excerpt :Cold-induced sweetening resulting from the accumulation of reducing sugars in cold-stored potato tubers has been mainly studied for its impact on potato processing (Sowokinos, 2001; Dale and Bradshaw, 2003). During cold-induced sweetening, sucrose synthesis increases and some sucrose is transported to the vacuole, where it is hydrolyzed to glucose and fructose (Isherwood, 1973; Isla et al., 1998; Sowokinos, 2001). This step is predominantly controlled by vacuolar acid invertase, an enzyme strongly associated with the accumulation of reducing sugars during cold storage (Matsuura-Endo et al., 2004).
