Kennebec is a medium- to late-maturing white potato. It was bred by the USDA and selected by Presque Isle Station, Maine in 1941. Kennebec is not under plant variety protection. This fast-growing variety has high yields. It maintains good quality in storage〔Akeley, R. V.; Stevenson, F. J.; Schultz, E. S. (1948)."Kennebec: A new potato variety resistant to late blight, mild mosaic, and net necrosis". ''American Potato Journal'' 25:351-361〕 and is grown for both fresh market use and chipping. == Botanical characteristics == * The Kennebec plant is non-pigmented, large and erect, with thick stems that are prominently angled. * Sprouts are grayish green with a slightly purple bottom. * The leaves are broad, long and dark green with slightly pubescent midribs. * Primarily the leaflets are ovate, large and grow in pairs of four. Secondary leaflets occur in a medium number. Tertiary leaflets occur very seldom, if at all. Terminally, the leaflets stay ovate and have acute tips and a lobed base. * Very few of the large white flowers emerge from the scantly pubescent green buds. * Tubers are medium thick with an elliptical to oblong shape. The skin is smooth and creamy with shallow eyes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kennebec (potato)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
