Eastern Potato Variety Development Database, (NE1231)

This is an interactive potato variety database that allows researchers and end-users to access and obtain potato variety trial results in one centralized site. It was developed primarily for scientists interested in potato variety development, growers, and allied industry members. The database is populated with the results of potato variety trials conducted in eight states (Florida, Maine, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) and two Canadian provinces (Prince Edward Island and Quebec).
New potato varieties are needed in the East to serve a wide range of markets including fresh market, chipping, French fry processing, and seed industries. However, developing new high quality, pest resistant potato varieties adapted to broad geographic regions or specifically suited for new niche markets is no small task. In today's economic climate these efforts increasingly require a multi-disciplinary, regionalized approach to meet tomorrow's demands.

The Eastern Potato Variety Development team is composed of breeders, molecular biologists, cultural management specialists, plant pathologists, entomologists and extension specialists from over 8 states and 2 Canadian provinces. The overall goal is to develop an array of attractive, high yielding, disease- and insect- resistant, table-stock, processing and/or specialty-type potato varieties that can be employed by potato producers in the eastern United States.

The database currently contains over 35 data features and was developed primarily for scientists interested in potato variety development, growers, and allied industry members. Data points that can be selected include: Released varieties, Tuber Color, End Use. Vine Maturity, Specific Gravity, Appearance Score, Year Evaluated, many Primary Harvest Data categories (yield by hundredweight, shape, texture, color), Defects categories, Plant Maturity, Number of Replications, Days to Harvest, Total Rainfall, Parents, Degree Days, and Expected Use.
This is a project sponsored by U.S. Department of Agriculture, Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (USDA-CSREES)

此乃一互动式马铃薯品种数据库，旨在为研究人员及终端用户提供一个集中式平台，以便他们能够访问和获取马铃薯品种试验结果。该数据库主要针对对马铃薯品种改良感兴趣的科学家、种植者以及相关行业成员而开发。数据库中汇集了在八个州（佛罗里达、缅因、新泽西、纽约、北卡罗来纳、俄亥俄、宾夕法尼亚和弗吉尼亚）以及两个加拿大省（爱德华王子岛和魁北克）进行的马铃薯品种试验结果。

在东部地区，为了满足包括鲜销市场、薯条加工、薯片制作以及种子产业在内的广泛市场需求，迫切需要新的马铃薯品种。然而，开发出适应广泛地理区域或专门针对新兴细分市场的新品种，且具有高质量、抗病虫害特性的马铃薯品种，并非易事。在当前的经济环境下，这些努力日益需要跨学科、区域化的方法来满足未来的需求。

东部马铃薯品种改良团队由来自八个州和两个加拿大省的育种学家、分子生物学家、栽培管理专家、植物病理学家、昆虫学家以及推广专家组成。该团队的整体目标是开发一系列具有吸引力、高产、抗病抗虫、适合餐桌、加工及/或特色类型的马铃薯品种，供美国东部的马铃薯生产者使用。

数据库目前包含超过35个数据特征，主要服务于对马铃薯品种改良感兴趣的科学家、种植者及相关行业成员。可选取的数据点包括：已发布品种、块茎颜色、最终用途、藤蔓成熟度、比重、外观评分、评估年份、众多初级收获数据类别（按每百磅计算的产量、形状、质地、颜色）、缺陷类别、植株成熟度、重复次数、收获天数、总降雨量、亲本、积温以及预期用途。

该项目由美国农业部、合作州立研究、教育和推广服务（USDA-CSREES）赞助。
