The article discusses a study on Gogu Valley, a potential high-yielding and raw-eating potato cultivar. Gogu Valley has a medium plant height, dark green foliage, medium flowering habit and light purple flowers. The study used cultivar Superior as a standard check and found that Gogu Valley yields processing quality and mineral content. Desirable characteristics of the potato cultivar are mentioned.

The article focuses on the study on the characteristics of Dason Valley as a high yielding and drought resistant potato cultivar. The study initially offers information on the physical features of Dasom Valley, taking as well its maturity, tubers and flowering habit. It then explores the ability of the plant to resist the most of the internal and external physiological disorders, enabling the plant to resist late blight, potato virus and drought.

The article discusses a study which examined the efficiency of cryopreservation/cryo-therapy in eliminating potato viruses from the in vitro grown shoot tips of potato. The study showed that leaf and tuber morphology of potatoes regenerated after cryopreservation. The potato leaf roll virus (PLRV) and potato virus Y (PVY) were successfully eliminated by cryotherapy.
