Meet the Small Potatoes talking head interviews with the band’s friends, manager Lester Koop (McDowell), and man on the street interviews with the band’s fans (all of whom are potatoes). The Small Potatoes’ trajectory roughly follows trends in American popular music through the second half of the 20th century: The Potatoes start as a country and western band in Idaho in the 1940s, before finding popularity first as rock and roll and then doo wop singers in the 1950s. They reach the peak of their popularity in the 1960s as a British invasion style act, followed by their experimenting with psychedelic rock after a
Blackleg (potatoes) it is critically important to keep the potatoes at a low temperature with adequate aeration and humidity control in order to minimize development of the pathogen in infested stocks. New research on "P. atrosepticum" virulence pathways has elucidated the use of quorum sensing molecules to exhibit pathogenicity. These pathways include the control of the production of plant cell wall degrading enzymes in addition to other virulence factors. Research indicating the role of other soil microbes in degrading "P. atrosepticum" quorum sensing communication molecules provides the possibility for safe and effective control of the disease. Plant defense mechanism studies on "P.
