Alliance for Potato Research and
Education: Leading with Science to
Transform Potato Perceptions
The Association for Potato Research
and Education (APRE) has 17 studies in
the research pipeline aimed at advancing
the scientific understanding of the role
potatoes play in promoting health. Studies
are being conducted in one of three areas:
cardiometabolic health, healthy dietary
patterns, and healthy lifestyles. The findings
from these studies will be used to create
scientifically substantiated messages that will
help healthcare professionals and foodservice
operators understand the nutritional power
potatoes bring to their clients and customers.

Spore Trapping in Agricultural
Settings
Trapping of aerial particulates has been
used in a variety of areas of interest, perhaps
most notably in pollen allergen assessments
and indoor air quality investigations. In the last
decade or so, the technology has increasingly
been seen in crop fields as a way to assess
disease severity, to monitor the arrival of
phytopathogen spores from neighboring fields
or to detect early stages of an infection. Spore
trapping, by assessing the presence/absence
and quantity of pathogen spores in the air, can
provide valuable information enabling growers
and agronomists to target the suitable
strategy regarding fungicide use.
This presentation will provide an overview
of the evolution of spore trapping in various
settings and offer reflections on the scope of use
and limitations as well as interpretation cues for
