Dual valorization of rice and potato byproducts into nanostructured additives and starch matrices for thermoplastic starch bioplastics.

Bioresource technology | 2026-Apr-29

This study explores the valorization of potato processing byproducts, such as peels and washing slurries, to create nanostructured additives and thermoplastic starch matrices for bioplastics. The research demonstrates that incorporating these potato-derived nanoadditives significantly improves the mechanical strength and water resistance of the resulting starch-based composite films.

Diverse strains of aster yellows phytoplasma are associated with the potato leafhopper (Empoasca fabae) in Eastern Canada.

Plant disease | 2026-May-01

This study investigates the presence and genetic diversity of Aster Yellows phytoplasma strains within the potato leafhopper (Empoasca fabae), a major agricultural pest. The research identifies multiple phytoplasma subgroups carried by the leafhopper, providing insights into the potential role of this insect as a vector for diseases that can significantly impact potato crops.

Engineering the 3'-UTR of Tobacco Vein Mottling Virus to Confer Cross-Protection Against Potyviruses.

Molecular plant pathology | 2026-May

This study explores engineering the 3'-UTR of Tobacco vein mottling virus (TVMV) to create attenuated mutants for cross-protection strategies. The research demonstrates that the mutant TVMV58 provides effective cross-protection against Potato Virus Y (PVY), a major pathogen affecting potato crops, offering insights into viral resistance mechanisms.
