This study evaluated the effects of different biochar particle sizes on potato production, source-sink relationships, and soil micro-environments under varying precipitation patterns in rainfed farmland. Moderate particle size biochar (0.5–2.0 mm) significantly enhanced potato tuber yield, precipitation use efficiency, and nitrogen use efficiency. Furthermore, it effectively reduced soil N2O emissions and nitrogen leaching, offering a sustainable practice for potato cultivation in semiarid regions.
This study investigates the impact of supplemental red-blue LED lighting on potato yield, physiology, and tuber quality in a multi-layer greenhouse system. Using transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses, the authors showed that LED supplementation enhances photosynthetic activity and sugar metabolism while down-regulating stress-responsive pathways and glycoalkaloid levels. These findings provide molecular insights into how artificial lighting optimizes potato growth and nutritional value.
This clinical study evaluated the tolerability and gut microbiome impacts of resistant potato starch (RPS) supplementation in post-bariatric surgery patients. The RPS supplement was well-tolerated and significantly enriched beneficial gut bacteria, particularly members of the genus *Bifidobacterium*. These findings demonstrate the health potential and functionality of potato-derived resistant starch in dietary interventions.
This study investigates how plant genotype and tuber compartments (heel and eye) shape the assembly, stability, and functional specialization of seed potato microbiomes across different environments and years. The authors identified a persistent core microbiome whose compartment-specific functional traits strongly correlate with potato growth-related performance. These findings highlight the role of tuber compartments as ecological filters and identify key microbial targets for enhancing potato resilience and crop yield.
This study identifies the StMYB55/StPYL8-StEXLB1 regulatory module in potato and demonstrates its role in enhancing drought tolerance through stomatal regulation. Overexpression of StEXLB1 or the transcription factor StMYB55 reduces stomatal density and aperture, improving drought resistance by downregulating key stomatal development genes. The findings highlight promising candidate genes for breeding drought-tolerant potato cultivars.
