Niacin Alleviates Browning in Fresh-Cut Potatoes: Regulation of NADPH/NADH Levels Mediates ROS-Redox Homeostasis and the Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle.

Foods (Basel, Switzerland) | 2026-Jun-04

This study investigates the role of niacin in inhibiting browning in fresh-cut potatoes by regulating ROS-redox homeostasis and pyridine nucleotide levels. It demonstrates that niacin treatment reduces oxidative damage and modulates the expression of key genes like StPPO and StG6PDH to maintain post-harvest quality.

Development of Poly(lactic acid)/Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) Biocomposite Films: Influence of Cellulose Microfiber Source on Structural and Functional Properties.

Polymers | 2026-May-29

This study investigates the use of cellulose microfibers derived from potato hulls, alongside yam and cassava, as reinforcements in PLA/PHBV biocomposite films. The research evaluates how potato-derived fillers influence the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of sustainable packaging materials.

Identification of the StPIFs Gene Family in Potato and Functional Analysis of StPIF4 Under Drought Stress.

Plants (Basel, Switzerland) | 2026-May-26

This study identifies seven PIF genes in the potato genome and characterizes the functional role of StPIF4 in drought stress response. The research demonstrates that StPIF4 enhances potato drought tolerance by regulating stomatal aperture, improving ROS scavenging, and modulating the expression of drought-responsive genes.

Hyperspectral Imaging for Early Detection and Severity Grading of Potato Bacterial Wilt.

Plants (Basel, Switzerland) | 2026-May-31

This study utilizes hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for the non-invasive early detection and severity grading of bacterial wilt in Solanum tuberosum. By applying machine learning models to spectral data, the researchers achieved high accuracy in identifying infected plants, providing a framework for high-throughput screening of resistant potato germplasm.

High-dimensional CRISPR-SERS interactomics tracks the topological evolution of plant viral pathogenesis and therapeutic response.

Chemical science | 2026-Jun-04

This study develops a high-dimensional CRISPR-SERS platform to track the molecular interactions between Potato virus Y (PVY) and its host. By analyzing the interactome topology, the research identifies key protein-protein interactions driving viral persistence and therapeutic response, which is highly relevant to potato pathology and disease resistance strategies.
