WWW.POTATOGROWER.COM 33 the center has been investigating for more than 60 years, with the first resident researcher hired in 1956. There is now a team of five main researchers and an abundance of other scientists who focus in potato breeding and selection, seed certification, crop management, pathology and post-harvest biology. The CSU agricultural network encourages collaboration between the research centers and campus laboratories. Both undergraduate and graduate students have numerous opportunities to work in research, and CSU is continuing to develop the next wave of research scientists. One example is Ph.D. student Sahar Toulabi, who works under researcher Adam Heuberger with a research focus in potatoes and their effect on humans' cardiovascular systems. Toulabi says she believes humans can improve their health through diet. She says she hopes her research proves that potatoes are an inexpensive way to get health benefits in the U.S. and worldwide. "I'm looking for the compounds in potatoes that can target specific organs," Toulabi said. "A bad diet affects what happens in our body—it can cause early aging, arteries stiffening and causing blood pressure to rise, or the liver compiling fat. Potatoes can actually target all these things and help reduce diseases." Researchers from the different locations and departments agree their biggest challenge is translating research into practical practices growers can adopt efficiently and economically. "I think a lot of times, what we find out may not get to the people who need the information," Jahn said. "But it's great everybody is starting to look out for how (they) can translate this information to commodity groups, researchers of interest and consumers." Researcher Jane Stewart and CSU's "mobile laboratory" for processing of soils samples Sahar Toulabi, a Ph.D. student at CSU, says her research can help prove some of potatoes' many dietary benefits.
