This study reports the synthesis of N-alkylated hypoxanthine derivatives and evaluates their antimicrobial efficacy against key potato pathogens, specifically Streptomyces sp. and Rhizoctonia solani. The findings identify specific derivatives with potential for developing treatments to manage these significant potato diseases.
This study evaluates tuber and starch characteristics in diploid potato lines and their hybrids, comparing them to tetraploid varieties. The research highlights significant variations in tuber yield, source-sink relations, and starch granule morphology, demonstrating the utility of diploid breeding material for investigating the genetics of metabolic and quality traits in potatoes.
This study identifies that the potato blue light receptor Stphot2 and the susceptibility factor StNRL-30 negatively regulate resistance to Phytophthora infestans by promoting the degradation of the mitochondrial protein StPRXIIF. The research elucidates a molecular mechanism where blue light signaling modulates potato immunity through the stability and translocation of key immune regulators.
This study evaluates the physicochemical properties and stability of oil-in-water emulsions using potato starch as a key comparative material. It investigates how the amylose/amylopectin ratio of potato starch influences droplet distribution, zeta-potential, and the formation of gel networks when combined with soy protein isolate.
This study investigates the chemical stability and reactivity of potato glycoalkaloids during high-temperature food processing like frying. The research identifies new reaction pathways, such as esterification with fatty acids and oxidation, and confirms that these products form from the potato tuber's endogenous lipids during thermal treatment.
This study identifies a major genetic locus on chromosome 10 responsible for tuber eye depth in the tetraploid potato cultivar Jinshu 16 using BSA-seq and transcriptome analysis. The research highlights candidate genes involved in lipid metabolism and cell wall modification, providing molecular markers for breeding programs aimed at improving tuber appearance and processing efficiency.
This study identifies the miR156a-StSPL9 regulatory module as a key controller of flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis in potato tubers. By regulating specific downstream genes, this module influences the accumulation of metabolites like kaempferol and quercetin, offering a genetic target for enhancing the nutritional quality of potatoes.
This study uses large-scale whole-genome sequencing of 779 haploid progeny to investigate the genomic impacts of diploid-to-haploid induction in potato. The researchers identified aneuploidy, mapped recombination, and confirmed the introgression of DNA from the haploid inducer into the progeny, providing critical insights for developing homozygous diploid inbred lines.
This study investigates the accumulation and distribution of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in potato plants and tubers grown near active war zones. The research highlights that while volatile short-chain PFAS accumulate in potato foliage through atmospheric pathways, they are largely absent from the edible tubers, which are more influenced by soil-based contamination from wastewater and biosolids.
This study evaluates the use of potato starch as a gelator for the fabrication of oleogels, comparing its large granule size and thermal properties to maize and rice starches. The research demonstrates how the morphological characteristics of potato starch influence the rheological strength and capillary bridge formation in starch-oil-water systems.
