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.
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.
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.
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.
This study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Solanum brevicaule, a wild relative of the cultivated potato that exhibits strong resistance to potato cyst nematodes. The genomic resource and identified NLR genes provide a foundation for understanding nematode resistance and enhancing potato breeding efforts.
This study investigates the covalent modifications of potato proteins, specifically protease inhibitors and patatin, when reacting with chlorogenic acid under oxidative conditions. The research highlights how these interactions lead to browning and greening during protein extraction, providing insights for developing anti-browning strategies in potato-derived food science.
This study evaluates the effects of hydroxypropylated and oxidized starches on the rheological properties, microstructure, and printability of potato puree and barley seedling composite gels for 3D food printing. The results show that modifying starch type and concentration significantly influences gel network strength and water mobility. Specific formulations of modified starches were identified to optimize extrusion stability and shape retention in potato-based 3D food printing.
This study utilizes consensus sequence engineering to design a novel potato patatin variant, ConPatatin, to overcome the limitations of traditional extraction methods. The engineered variant showed significantly improved recombinant yield, solubility, stability, and enzymatic activity. Additionally, the researchers identified Gln289 as a key residue for achieving high-level soluble expression of the protein.
This study evaluates the biocontrol potential of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Z-7 against Verticillium dahliae, the causative agent of potato verticillium wilt. It identifies 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP) as a key antifungal component that disrupts the pathogen's cell wall and membrane integrity. The findings suggest these VOCs could serve as sustainable alternatives for managing potato verticillium wilt.
This review examines how light environments and the circadian clock regulate growth, development, and stress adaptation in horticultural crops, explicitly including potato. It highlights the role of photoperiodic control via the CO-FT module in governing developmental transitions. The insights support the design of optimized cultivation systems to improve crop yield and quality.
