This study evaluates the impact of biochar and compost soil amendments on various specialty crops, including potatoes. Preliminary field trial data demonstrated that co-compost amendments significantly increased potato crop production in fertilized split-plots, suggesting potential for yield enhancement through specific soil management strategies.
This study investigates the use of potato protein as a sustainable alternative to egg white protein in vegan meat analogues. It evaluates how the addition of upcycled fruit flours affects the functional, textural, and antioxidant properties of potato protein-based formulations.
This study uses multi-omics to analyze high-carotenoid potato hybrids, identifying a synergistic network of gene regulation (e.g., CCD4, BCH2), metabolic pathways, and endophytic microbiota associated with zeaxanthin and lutein accumulation. The findings provide molecular targets for breeding nutritionally enhanced potatoes with improved processing traits and stress-responsive metabolites.
This study investigates environmental sex determination in the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida, a major potato pathogen, revealing that nutritional cues like sucrose availability influence sexual fate. The research identifies key genetic regulators, including the transcription factor Gp-lin-29 and specific miRNAs, that control the developmental shift between male and female trajectories.
This study identifies the Phytophthora infestans effector Pi05910 as a virulence factor that targets and destabilizes the potato scaffold protein StRACK1 via the 26S proteasome pathway. Research demonstrates that StRACK1 positively regulates potato resistance to late blight, and its degradation suppresses immune responses like ROS burst and defense gene expression.
This study investigates the gelation mechanisms of ternary protein systems involving potato patatin and soybean proteins. It demonstrates that the addition of patatin enhances the network continuity and uniformity of composite gels, providing insights into the food science applications of potato-derived proteins.
This study identifies StSAUR31 as a negative regulator of enzymatic browning in potatoes by modulating polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and substrate availability. The research demonstrates that StSAUR31 interacts with StuPPO1 in an auxin-dependent manner, reducing its accumulation in plastids and lowering tyrosine levels to suppress browning.
This paper reviews the diversity and functional integration of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors in potato and its wild relatives. It explores how understanding these immune signaling networks can be leveraged through genetic engineering and strategic stacking to develop durable resistance against major pathogens like Phytophthora infestans.
This study develops a sensitive fluorescence detection method using carbon quantum dots to quantify dinotefuran pesticide residues. The method was successfully validated in several food matrices, including potato, providing a tool for food safety and quality analysis in potato-derived products.
This study presents a novel, highly sensitive dual-mode lateral-flow immunoassay (LFIA) for the rapid on-site detection of Potato virus S (PVS) in field samples. The platform utilizes a specialized core-shell probe to achieve significantly lower detection limits than conventional methods, providing a practical tool for managing potato viral pathology.
