A Self-Cleavage-Dependent Activation Mechanism of the Effector RipBH Associated With Bacterial Wilt and Tuber Rot in Potato.

Physiologia plantarum | 2026

This study identifies RipBH as a self-cleaving protease effector from Ralstonia solanacearum that contributes to bacterial wilt and tuber rot in potatoes. The research demonstrates that RipBH undergoes auto-cleavage to induce host cell death and disrupt intracellular homeostasis, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms of potato-pathogen interactions.

Distinct Foliar Uptake Pathways for Phosphorus and Nano-Hydroxyapatite in Potato Revealed By Synchrotron μCT and ³³P Imaging.

Plant, cell & environment | 2026-Apr-22

This study investigates the foliar uptake mechanisms of phosphorus and nano-hydroxyapatite in Solanum tuberosum using advanced imaging techniques. It identifies distinct pathways for nutrient entry—cuticular for ions and stomatal for nanoparticles—and demonstrates that nano-fertilizers can significantly improve phosphorus uptake efficiency in potatoes compared to traditional methods.

Detection of potato spindle tuber viroid from dahlia bulbs imported from Canada and its sequence characteristics.

Virusdisease | 2026-Mar

This study identifies Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) in imported dahlia bulbs and evaluates its pathogenicity in potato plants. The research demonstrates that while infected potato plants show no aboveground symptoms, the tubers exhibit characteristic deformations and prominent eyes.
