Abstract

Jacqueline Lee has a bright golden skin, yellow flesh, attractive oval shape, and excellent cooking qualities that make it suitable for tablestock use. In addition, it has been determined to have a high level of foliar resistance to the US-8 genotype ofPhytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary under Michigan field and greenhouse conditions. It is a full-season variety with vine maturity similar to Snowden. Jacqueline Lee has high yield potential. It has a high set (14–16 tubers/hill) of medium sized tubers that leads to 65%–80% marketable yield. Tubers are low in internal and external defects. It has a scab reaction similar to Atlantic, and the tubers have been observed to have a long dormancy.

Resumen

Jacqueline Lee es una variedad de papa de piel amarilla brillante para consumo fresco, tubérculos de forma oval muy atractivos y de excelente calidad de cocimiento. Esta variedad tiene altos niveles de resistencia foliar al genotypo US-8 de Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, tanto en invernadero como en condiciones de campo, esta evaluacion fue hecha en Michigan, USA. Jacqueline Lee es una variedad con alto potencial de rendimiento y maduración media tardia similar a Snowden. Produce un gran número de tubérculos (14-16 tubérculos/semilla) de tamaño mediano, de los cuales 65-80% son tubérculos comercializables. Los tubérculos tienen resistencia a defectos internos y externos. Tambien tienen resistencia a la sarna (Streptomyces scabies Thaxter) similar a la variedad Atlantic y dormancia larga.
