This study investigates the structure-function relationships of ternary complexes composed of potato protein, gum arabic, and β-cyclodextrin for stabilizing emulsions and suppressing volatile release. The findings demonstrate that pH-dependent co-assembly of potato protein within this system enhances thermal stability and emulsifying performance, highlighting its functional utility in food science applications.
This study reveals that microRNA 160 (miR160) acts as a critical regulatory node in potato (Solanum tuberosum) hypersensitive response against potato virus Y (PVY). By repressing miR160, the plant activates a StARF10/StARF17-StPRX28 signaling module that links salicylic acid, auxin, and redox networks to restrict viral infection. These findings highlight miR160 as a valuable functional genomics target for enhancing disease resistance and heat resilience without sacrificing tuber development.
This study evaluates rhizobacterial strains, particularly Serratia rubidaea AV10 and EV23, for their capacity to control potato late blight (Phytophthora infestans) and promote plant growth. Genomic analysis of the bacteria identified biosynthetic clusters linked to biocontrol and growth traits, while treated potato plants exhibited altered expression of key defense- and auxin-related genes.
This study investigates the valorization of potato peel waste through anaerobic digestion following thermal and wet oxidation pretreatments. Pretreatment with 2% H2O2 at 175 °C significantly enhanced the conversion of lignocellulosic polymers, resulting in a 45.6% increase in methane yield and a 34.3% reduction in global warming potential according to life cycle assessment.
This study evaluated continuous-flow pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment as a non-thermal method to reduce microbial contamination and modify the properties of potato fiber, a processing coproduct. Treatment at 100 kJ/L significantly lowered microbial loads and residual starch while increasing the estimated fiber content and oil-holding capacity. Overall, PEF treatment effectively enhanced the quality and functional characteristics of potato fiber for food ingredient applications.
This study analyzes over 20 years of nationwide monitoring data (2004–2025) on acrylamide levels across various potato products in Poland. While regulatory measures led to significant initial reductions in acrylamide content—especially in potato crisps and French fries—levels have since stabilized, indicating that current mitigation strategies have reached their limit.
This review evaluates enzymatic modifications of potato (Solanum tuberosum) starch, highlighting how various starch-acting enzymes alter granule structure, viscosity, and digestibility. It synthesizes direct evidence on applications such as resistant and slowly digestible starches and discusses industrial challenges and future directions for potato starch utilization.
This study performed a genome-wide identification of 291 RING zinc finger (StRING-zf) genes in potato and analyzed their evolutionary expansion and promoter elements. Transcriptomic profiling under different light qualities, validated by qRT-PCR, identified five candidate genes showing distinct light-dependent expression patterns. These findings highlight key candidate genes for investigating light-responsive regulatory mechanisms and ubiquitination in potato.
This study develops TRP-Net, a text-guided dual-modal object detection network designed to identify and localize potato early blight and late blight lesions under complex field imaging conditions. By integrating counterfactual interventions and cross-modal semantic guidance, the lightweight model improves lesion boundary and small-lesion detection. This tool provides robust automated visual screening to support potato disease management and field inspections.
This study investigates the combined effects of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Gibberellic Acid (GA3) on in vitro plantlet propagation in potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. 'Superchola'). The authors determined that an optimal balance of 2.0 mg/L BAP and 0.1 mg/L GA3 completely eradicated hyperhydricity, minimized unwanted callogenesis, and significantly enhanced morphological vigor and dry biomass. These findings provide a refined tissue culture protocol to improve mass propagation efficiency for pre-basic seed potato production.
