Two of our clones showed promise of very low acrylamide contents in the fries. Three of our clones were named and released as new chip varieties. These were Nicolet (W2133-1), Tundra (W2310-3) and Lelah (W2717-5) as long storage chippers and Accumulator (W2324-1) as high yielding short storage chipper. In a related study, we developed a segregating F1 population from a cross between a russet and a chip variety, Tundra. This population is segregating for chip fry quality. We are using this population to develop molecular markers to screen for potato cold storage fry quality. PARTICIPANTS: Jiwan P. Palta, Sandra E. Vega, Felix M.
