This scoping review maps the bioactive metabolites of Solanum tuberosum—including flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, polysaccharides, and peptides—and evaluates their roles in wound healing and inflammation modulation. The study highlights molecular mechanisms such as the regulation of NF-κB and cytokines, while identifying key research gaps in standardization and clinical translation of potato-derived preparations.
This review synthesizes the complex regulatory networks governing potato (Solanum tuberosum) tuberization, highlighting the roles of epitranscriptomic modifications, chromatin remodeling, and metabolic reprogramming. It discusses the impact of climate warming on tuberization signals and the genetic challenges of autotetraploidy. Finally, it outlines how these insights can be applied to breeding climate-resilient cultivars using genome editing and diploid hybrid strategies.
This study investigates the use of potato peel waste from Solanum tuberosum cv. Spunta as a fermentation substrate for Bacillus velezensis B38 to produce antibacterial metabolites. The resulting extracts, containing oxydifficidin and surfactins, showed strong and stable antimicrobial activity against multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli. These findings demonstrate a viable strategy for valorizing potato processing by-products into high-value bioactive compounds.
This study optimizes a modified QuEChERS-based extraction and HPLC-PDA method for the determination of acrylamide in French fries. It also investigates the impact of different thermal processing methods (deep-fat frying, oven baking, and air frying) and oil types on acrylamide formation in potato matrices.
This study evaluates the impact of prior-induced regularization on the accuracy and stability of genomic prediction models using datasets from multiple crops, including potato. The findings demonstrate that effective regularization across genomic, environmental, and genotype-by-environment components is crucial for improving prediction accuracy and reducing error in plant breeding programs.
This study characterizes the quorum quenching bacterium *Acinetobacter schindleri* strain XJ-10 and its ability to degrade AHL signals to control soft rot disease. The strain's crude enzyme extract successfully reduced the incidence and severity of soft rot in potato (*Solanum tuberosum*) hosts. These findings suggest a potential biocontrol strategy for managing bacterial soft rot in potato cultivation.
The study evaluates the presence and heritability of resistance genes (such as Rx1, Gpa2, and H1) against viruses and nematodes in various potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars and hybrids. It demonstrates a tight genetic linkage between the Rx1 and Gpa2 loci on chromosome 12 and calculates a high heritability coefficient for the Rx1 marker. These findings support marker-assisted selection and targeted breeding for improved pest and disease resistance in potatoes.
This study investigates the role of the polyphenol oxidase gene StuPPO9 in potato (Solanum tuberosum) drought tolerance using overexpression and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout lines. The researchers demonstrated that StuPPO9 overexpression enhances drought resilience by improving photosynthetic efficiency, reducing reactive oxygen species accumulation, and reprogramming metabolic pathways. These findings identify StuPPO9 as a promising genetic target for breeding drought-resistant potato cultivars.
This review highlights the role of WRKY transcription factors in potato (Solanum tuberosum) and their potential for genetic manipulation to enhance resilience against abiotic and biotic stresses. It discusses key WRKY isoforms involved in stress tolerance and the current challenges in achieving stable, heritable genetic modifications. The paper emphasizes the need for advanced genomic approaches to translate WRKY-mediated regulation into resilient potato breeding strategies.
This study investigates the role of glutathione (GSH) in regulating selenium (Se) accumulation, assimilation, and detoxification in potatoes. The findings demonstrate that GSH reduces inorganic Se accumulation, promotes its conversion into organic forms such as selenocysteine and selenomethionine, and enhances redox homeostasis to alleviate oxidative damage.
