Mechanism of Chitosan Oligosaccharides in Inhibiting Phytophthora infestans and Synergistic Enhancement with Conventional Fungicides: A Strategy for the Management of Potato Late Blight.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry | 2026-May-19

This study investigates the inhibitory mechanisms of Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) against Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen responsible for potato late blight. It demonstrates that COS disrupts pathogen metabolism and membrane biogenesis while inducing systemic resistance in potato plants, ultimately improving crop yield and disease management in field trials.

Development of nucleic acid testing technology for quarantine pest Globodera rostochiensis based on a species-specific DNA fragment.

PeerJ | 2026

This study identifies a species-specific DNA fragment for Globodera rostochiensis, a major potato cyst nematode, to develop sensitive PCR and RAA-LFD diagnostic assays. These molecular tools enable rapid and field-deployable detection of the pest in soil and larvae, supporting potato biosecurity and quarantine efforts.
