The occurrence of potato(Sotanum tuberosum) viral diseases caused by Potato virus X(PVX), Potato virus Y (PVY), Potato leafroll virus(PLRV), Potato vims S(PVS), Potato virus M(PVM), Potato virus A(PVA), Potato virus T(PVT), Alfalfa mosic virus(AIMV), Tobacco mosic virus(TMV), Potato mop top virus(PMTV) Tobacco rattle virus(TRV) and Potato spindle tuber viroid(PSTVd), potato witches' broom phytoplasma, have been identified so far in Korea. Major viral diseases such as PVX, PVY and PLRV had been studied more deeply, however, the others are just identified and only partially characterized since the first study on the relation between PVX nucleic acid and virus protein by Kim in 1961. The most studies on potato viral diseases are mainly focused on the problems of seed potato production. The National Alpine Agricultural Experiment Station(NAAES), since it began its activities in 1961, has given special attention to this problem by doing studies to identify, characterize and control potato virus diseases. This effort resulted in the development of new potato virus detection methods as a basis for elaborating new method of control, such as the production of seed potato free of virus and the selection of new virus-resistant transgenic potatoes. The further studies of potato viral diseases required would be fallowings: the continuous monitoring for the occurrence of identified or not identified potato viruses in Korea, the isolation of resistant viral genes, the development of control method for the non-persistently transmitted viruses like PVY, special vectors such as nematode and fungus transmitted viruses, TRV and PMTV and the development of control methods against potato viral diseases by viral cross protection, therapy, transgenic plant, and the use of the agents or molecules, such as virus inhibitors and antiviral proteins, etc., blocking viral replication.

To investigate the effect of potato lipoxygenase on the farinograph characteristics of wheat flour dough, composite flours containing enzyme-active potato flor (EPF) and hot-ar dried potato flour(HPF) were used. EPF was made by freeze-drying potato tuber. DPF (denaturated potato flour) was prepared by holding EPF at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 18 hr in a dry oven. The potato flours were added to wheat flour at a level of 10% , respectivley. EPFB (enzyme-active potato flour blends, 90% wheat flour +105 enzyme -active potato flour) containing lipoxygenase activity gave higher farinogram peak time and higher stability values, lower MTI (mixing tolerance index ) and lower weakness values than those of HPFB(hot-air potato flour blends, 90% wheat flour + 10 % hot-air potato flour). Moreover, then lipoxygenase was added to DPFB(denatured potato flour blends , 90% wheat flour + 10% denatured potato flour) at a level of EPFB, it resulted in increasing stability, peak time and decreasing MTI , weakness at a level of EPFB. When the lipoxugenase was added to wheat flour with fumaric acid at alevel of 6.5 $\times$ 10units/g flour, lipoxygenase overcame the deleterious effects that fumaric acid including activated double-bond compounds have at mixing stability. Also the addition of liposxygenase with linoleic acid to defatted wheat flour resulted in the increase in stability and decrease in MTI value compared with those of linoleic acid and defatted wheat flour.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is one of the most important food crops worldwide and yields of potato can be affected by virus infection. While more than 40 viruses have been found in potato, only nine viruses (potato leafroll virus, potato viruses A, M, S, V, X and Y, potato moptop virus and tobacco rattle virus) and one viroid (potato spindle tuber viroid) have a significant economic impact on potato, worldwide. This review describes the geographical distribution of the most important viruses infecting potato and the genes for resistance or tolerance that have been identified against these various infectious agents. In some cases such resistance genes have been found only in other Solanum species. Few genes for resistance to the vectors of these viruses have been obtained and even fewer have been deployed successfully. However, transgenic resistance in potato has been achieved against seven of these disease agents.

Since the demonstration that the transgenic plants expressing tobacco mosaic virus(TMV) coat protein(CP) gene showed resistance to TMV infection, there have been numerous attempts to produce virus-resistant plant by introducing of a part of or modified viral genome. This study was conducted to investigate the characterization and variability of disease outbreak of transgenic potato(T-potato) with the CP gene of potato leaf roll virus(PLRV) in an isolated field from 2000 to 2002. In the field inspection, incidence of PLRV on T-potato showed only 3.5％, while non-transgenic potato(N-potato) revealed 13.4％. Infection rate of PLRV was considerably low on T-potato with 4.2％ compared to 15.4％ of N-potato in ELISA tests. Those of potato virus M, potato virus Y and potato virus X on both potatoes were not statistically different. Infection of potato virus A was not observed on both potatoes. Incidence of potato late blight caused by Phytopkhora infestans on T-potato and N-potato did not differ each other with 52.7％, and 50.8％, respectively, Mating type of the causal fungus isolated from both potatoes was all Al types. Results indicates that the CP gene of PLRV affects specifically to the virus in the transgenic potato.

In this study, we conducted an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) so as to compare antidiabetic activities of general potatoes, purple-flesh potatoes, and potato pigments in rats at various concentration levels. After allowing the rats to abstain from food for 12 hours, 10%/20% general potato, purple-flesh potato, and potato extract was orally administered to rats at 100 and 500 mg/kg concentrations. The blood glucose level was measured after an hour. Then, immediately, 1.5 g/kg of sucrose was administered through the abdominal cavity and the blood glucose measured after 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes. 20% purple-flesh potato group and 10% general potato group, both 100 and 500 mg/kg, showed a significant concentration-dependent decrease in blood glucose levels after 30 minutes. The 100 mg/kg potato pigment group also showed a statistically significant decrease after 30 minutes. In conclusion, administration of 10% general potato, 20% purple-flesh potato, and potato pigment can reduce blood glucose level in an OGTT using rats.

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.

Viral diseases have been a major limiting factor threating sustainable potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production in Pakistan. Surveys were conducted to serologically quantify the incidence of RNA viruses infecting potato; Potato virus X (PVX), Potato virus Y (PVY), Potato virus S (PVS), Potato virus A (PVA), Potato virus M (PVM) and Potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) in two major potato cultivars (Desiree and Cardinal). The results suggest the prevalence of multiple viruses in all surveyed areas with PVY, PVS and PVX dominantly widespread with infection levels of up to 50% in some regions. Co-infections were detected with the highest incidence (15.5%) for PVX and PVS. Additionally the data showed a positive correlation between co-infecting viruses with significant increase in absorbance value (virus titre) for at least one of the virus in an infected plant and suggested a synergistic interaction. To test this hypothesis, glasshouse grown potato plants were challenged with multiple viruses and analyzed for systemic infections and symptomology studies. The results obtained conclude that multiple viral infections dramatically increase disease epidemics as compared to single infection and an effective resistance strategy in targeting multiple RNA viruses is required to save potato crop.
