Abstract

The article presents the results of assessing collectible potato varieties of different maturity groups, for suitability for processing into starch. The cultivars grown at the experimental site of the FSBSI Federal Research Center for Agrobiotechnologies of the Far East in 2019–2020 were evaluated by productivity, marketability, starch and dry matter content, and morphology of starch granules. The study confirmed a higher starchiness in the mid-ripening (13.07%) and middle-late (13.53%) varieties with a longer growing season compared to the early-ripening (11.95%) and middle-early (12.44%) groups. The potato microstructure was studied by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). As a result of the starch granulometric analysis, significant varietal differences in the number and size of granules in the tuber cell were revealed. The largest number of granules in the cell was found in the Garant (9.6 pcs.), Adretta (9.5 pcs.) varieties, the smallest - in the Musinsky (6.2 pcs.), Svitanok Kievsky (6.9 pcs.) varieties. The varieties with the highest concentration of large- and medium-sized starch grains were identified: Svitanok Kievsky (75%), Musinsky (65.0%), Fregata (64.5%), Zarevo (63.3%), Fritella (59.3%), Dachny (56.6%), Solnyishko (50.3%). According to the complex of characteristics that meet the requirements of suitability for processing into starch, the varieties Musinsky, Svitanok Kievsky, Solnyishko, Fregata, Fritella are recommended.
