Neurocognition and food cue-related brain reactivity after fiber supplementation within a high-protein, plant-based diet in individuals with overweight and prediabetes: A randomized-controlled trial (the DISTAL-study).

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland) | 2026-Apr-17

This randomized-controlled trial investigated the effects of a potato fiber and sugar beet pectin supplement on neurocognition and food-reward brain activity in individuals with overweight and prediabetes. The study found that while the fiber supplementation did not significantly alter brain responses to food cues, the overall high-protein, plant-based diet improved memory, psychomotor speed, and satiety.

Correction: Role of Rychc gene diversity in the resistance of wild potato relative Solanum chacoense to potato virus Y.

Scientific reports | 2026-Apr-30

This paper examines the genetic diversity of the Rychc gene in Solanum chacoense, a wild relative of the potato, and its role in providing resistance to Potato Virus Y (PVY). The research is highly relevant to potato breeding and functional genomics for developing virus-resistant cultivars.

Exploration of anti-oomycete components from wild plants against Phytophthora infestans.

Frontiers in plant science | 2026

This study identifies natural anti-oomycete compounds from Artemisia lavandulaefolia and Clinopodium repens that effectively inhibit Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen responsible for potato late blight. The extracts demonstrated significant reduction in mycelial growth and tuber pathogenicity, offering potential for developing environmentally friendly fungicides for potato crop protection.
