This paper introduces 3DPotatoTwin, a dataset of 339 potato tubers designed to improve 3D phenotyping by aligning high-throughput RGB-D scans with high-quality Structure-from-Motion reconstructions. The study provides a pipeline for multi-sensory data fusion, enabling more accurate 3D modeling of potato tubers for agricultural and breeding applications.
This study investigates the effects of Solanum tuberosum leaf extract and the glycoalkaloid α-chaconine on the gut physiology and growth of Tenebrio molitor larvae. The research highlights how potato-derived defense compounds modulate insect digestive enzyme activity and gut contractility, offering insights into potato plant-insect interactions and potential bioinsecticidal applications.
This study investigates the viromes of solanaceous weeds, identifying them as potential reservoirs for viruses that affect solanaceous crops. Notably, it reports the presence of Potato Virus M (PVM) and a Potato Virus H (PVH)-like virus in these weed species, providing insights for potato pathology and disease management.
This study investigates the ecological impact of returning potato starch processing wastewater (PSPW) to fields as a resource utilization strategy. It evaluates pollutant removal rates, changes in soil physicochemical properties, and shifts in microbial community structure to provide a scientific basis for safe wastewater irrigation in the potato industry.
This study examines the interaction between β-glucan and various starches, specifically highlighting that β-glucan inhibits retrogradation in potato starch due to its unique amylopectin chain length. The research provides insights into the molecular behavior and digestion properties of potato starch, which is relevant for potato-derived food science and nutritional applications.
This study identifies 101 MATE genes in the potato genome and characterizes their expression patterns across various tissues and environmental stresses. Functional analysis reveals that StMATE1, StMATE4, and StMATE98 act as citrate transporters that enhance aluminum tolerance, providing potential genetic targets for developing stress-resistant potato cultivars.
This review synthesizes the biochemical and genetic mechanisms of insecticide resistance in Myzus persicae (peach-potato aphid), the primary vector for major potato viruses. It details metabolic detoxification pathways and target-site mutations, providing insights essential for managing this pest and the diseases it transmits in potato cultivation.
This study explores how a melatonin-selenium nanocomposite (MT-SeNC) enhances potato (Solanum tuberosum) resistance against the herbivore Spodoptera litura. The treatment triggers both direct and indirect defenses by upregulating key defense genes in the jasmonic and salicylic acid pathways and altering volatile organic compound emissions to attract natural predators.
This study investigates the role of the crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) in the pupal ecdysis of the 28-spotted larger potato ladybird (Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata), a significant potato pest. The research demonstrates that silencing the Hvccap gene via RNA interference disrupts molting behavior and prevents successful pupation, identifying it as a potential molecular target for pest control.
This study investigates the multiscale structural properties and spatial distribution of cell wall components—cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin—across three distinct potato cultivars. The findings reveal significant microstructural heterogeneity among the varieties, which may influence intracellular starch digestion and functional properties of the potato cell wall.
