This study demonstrates that introducing the lignin peroxidase gene lip H8 into Agrobacterium fabrum enhances its virulence, colonization ability, and tumorigenesis in potato and other plants. The findings suggest that this modified Agrobacterium strain could serve as a more efficient tool for plant transformation and functional genomics research.
This review explores the molecular mechanisms of Potato Spindle Tuber Viroid (PSTVd) infection and its impact on the transcriptomes, epigenomes, and metabolomes of Solanaceous hosts like potato. It synthesizes current knowledge on viroid structure, systemic movement, and host defense evasion to inform the development of viroid-resistant potato crops.
This study identifies a link between frequent consumption of fried potatoes and an increased risk of metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) mediated by acrylamide. It demonstrates that acrylamide disrupts hepatic lipid metabolism and triggers inflammatory responses through the arachidonic acid-PGE2-PPARα signaling axis.
This study investigates the role of exodermal suberin in Solanum tuberosum roots by downregulating the suberin biosynthetic gene CYP86A33. The findings demonstrate that exodermal suberin is crucial for maintaining ion homeostasis and supporting overall plant growth, highlighting its importance as a regulatory barrier for mineral nutrients.
This study investigates a method to rapidly fix transgenic alleles in potato (Solanum tuberosum) and forage rape populations by using herbicide selection. The researchers demonstrated that applying chlorsulfuron to hemizygous plants results in distorted segregation, significantly increasing the proportion of transgenic progeny to achieve homozygosity.
This study investigates methods to reduce acrylamide and glycoalkaloid levels in three Peruvian potato varieties (Bicentenaria, CIP-Poderosa Pollera, and Única) using ultrasonic pretreatment and various frying techniques. The research identifies optimal processing conditions to produce safer fried potato products while maintaining quality attributes like color and texture.
This study evaluates the rheological properties and preparation requirements of infant formulas thickened with potato starch compared to rice flour. It specifically examines how potato starch-based formulas maintain viscosity in the bottle and under simulated gastric conditions, providing insights into potato-derived food science and nutrition.
This study investigates how the late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans utilizes a small RNA derived from the PiCRN1 effector to target and suppress the potato immune regulator EDS1. The research explores cross-kingdom RNA trafficking and the potential role of extracellular vesicles in the molecular interaction between the pathogen and the potato host.
This study investigates the use of potato protein isolate (PPI), a byproduct of the potato starch industry, as a solubility enhancer for curcumin. The research demonstrates that PPI can effectively prevent curcumin precipitation and improve its aqueous solubility without exhibiting toxicity, highlighting its potential in pharmaceutical and food science applications.
This study evaluates the use of hyperspectral imaging and machine learning to detect potato cyst nematode (Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida) infections in potato plants. It explores the challenges of distinguishing nematode-induced stress from abiotic factors like water deficiency, identifying key spectral wavelengths for improved diagnostic accuracy.
