This study explores the potential of the fungus Aspergillus sulphureoviridis as a biocontrol agent against Dickeya solani, a major pathogen causing soft rot and blackleg in potatoes. The research identifies specific antibacterial metabolites and demonstrates how the fungus induces beneficial defense responses in Bacillus subtilis, offering a sustainable strategy for managing potato diseases.
This study identifies a novel isolate of Aureobasidium pullulans from potato foliage that effectively controls Penicillium commune, the cause of blue mold rot in stored potatoes. The researchers optimized the production of antifungal metabolites using the Taguchi method, demonstrating the isolate's potential as a biocontrol agent for postharvest potato disease management.
This study introduces SIS-YOLOv11, a deep learning framework designed for the early detection of early and late blight in potato and tomato leaves. The model incorporates climate-adaptive mechanisms and style randomization to improve cross-crop generalization and performance in challenging environmental conditions.
This study analyzes the formation of 15 advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in potato chips during the frying process. It identifies major lysine protein modifications and provides mechanistic insights into the Maillard reactions that occur in processed potato products.
This study identifies CP32, a novel cyclic peptide that inhibits Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen responsible for potato late blight, by targeting its cellulose synthase enzyme. CP32 disrupts cell-wall deposition and reduces disease symptoms, offering a potential sustainable alternative to conventional fungicides for controlling late blight.
This study evaluates the impact of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices on the production efficiency of potato, onion, and tomato farmers in Ethiopia. It identifies that integrated soil and water management significantly reduces technical inefficiency in potato cultivation, highlighting the importance of bundled agricultural technologies for improving productivity.
Researchers identified StCYP90C1 as a key gene regulating potato plant architecture through brassinosteroid biosynthesis. The study demonstrates that mutations in this gene lead to dwarfism and curled leaves, offering important genetic insights for improving potato breeding programs.
This study demonstrates that moderate ectopic expression of the NLP27 peptide in potato enhances resistance to Phytophthora infestans and Streptomyces scabies by activating defense-related genes and immune responses. The research identifies a balance where transgenic lines achieve significant disease protection without the yield penalties associated with higher expression levels.
This research explores the use of a potato starch and psyllium-based system as a carrier for encapsulating bioactive compounds in functional food products. The study demonstrates that potato starch helps maintain the structural, textural, and rheological integrity of the food matrix while protecting sensitive plant extracts during processing and storage.
This study evaluates the impact of partial baking and frozen storage on the quality, volatile profile, and glycemic index of traditional Turkish breads, including a potato-based variety. The findings suggest that par-baking is a viable technology for maintaining the quality and nutritional benefits of potato-incorporated bread products during storage.
