I-US: Ochwepheshe BasePenn State University Basiza Ekuthuthukiseni Isivuno Samazambane Sesifundazwe

Imboni yamazambane ama-chip e-US Commonwealth of Pennsylvania imunca cishe amathani angu-83,000 ama-spuds amhlophe akhiqizwa endaweni. Ukuze bagcine lokho kugeleza, abalimi bathembele ohlelweni lokucwaninga ngamazambane e-Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Ngaleyo ndlela, abalimi basiza ekuthuthukiseni ikhwalithi kanye nenani lezitshalo zabo ngenkathi behlala benolwazi ngezitayela zabathengi.

Uhlelo lokucwaninga ngamazambane lwasePenn State, oluholwa nguXinshun Qu, uprofesa ocwaningayo, lungaphansi koMnyango Wezifo Zezitshalo kanye Ne-Microbiology Yezemvelo. Ithimba lakhe lisebenzisana eduze namazambane. abalimi ukuhlonza ukukhiqizwa kwamazambane okuhweba kanye nezinkinga zezifo futhi kwenza izivivinyo zelebhu kanye nezamasimu ezenzelwe ukunikeza ulwazi olubalulekile ukuxazulula lezi zinkinga. Abacwaningi babelana ngemiphumela yabo ngezinhlelo ze-Penn State Extension kanye nombiko wonyaka otholakala emphakathini.

Ithimba lihlola izinhlobo zamazambane ezingaba ngu-200/ama-clone okuzalela ezivivinyweni zokuhlola izinhlobo ezahlukene kanye nezinhlobo eziphakathi kuka-200 no-400 kanye nama-clone ezivivinyweni zokuphathwa kwezifo minyaka yonke, ngokusho kochwepheshe bezocwaningo uMike Peck, obelokhu enalolu hlelo iminyaka ecishe ibe ngu-40.

Lo msebenzi wenzeka eRussell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center eRock Springs, eCentre County, nasezindaweni zabalimi ezingxenyeni ezahlukene zesifundazwe.

Ithimba lifake isandla ekuthuthukiseni izinhlobo ezingaphezu kweshumi nambili ezidumile, okuhlanganisa ne-Lehigh, eqanjwe nge-Lehigh Valley yasePennsylvania, eyayisebenza njengendawo yokuhlola izinhlobo ezahlukene. Amazambane anikeza isivuno esiphezulu njalo ezindaweni ezikhula ngezindlela ezahlukene.

Njengamanje, ochwepheshe bayasiza ekuhloleni ukuthi enye i-Russet potato ethandwa ngabathengi, i-Russet potato, ikhula kanjani esimweni sezulu sasePennsylvania. Ama-Russet avame ukuba makhulu kunamazambane amhlophe endabuko futhi ayinketho engcono kakhulu yokubhaka, ukugaya, kanye nama-french fries.

Ososayensi basePenn State baphinde babambisana neCornell University ukukhiqiza izinhlobo ezimbili zama-potato chip, iLamoka neWaneta.

Ochwepheshe bePennState muva nje balinganisele ukuthi inani lokukhiqizwa kwama-chip amazambane avela eLamoka naseWaneta ngo-2020 lalingaphezu kwe-USD1bn.
