This study performs a genome-wide identification and characterization of the Cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene family in Solanum tuberosum. It specifically investigates the functional role of the StCYP481 gene in enhancing salt tolerance, providing insights for potato genetic improvement against abiotic stress.
Researchers developed and optimized two TadA-derived base editors, RTF-ABE8e and RTF-TadDE, specifically for efficient mRNA splice site editing in potato. These tools allow for the precise manipulation of splicing isoforms and the creation of mutant phenotypes, providing powerful new resources for potato functional genomics.
This study investigates the functional roles of two crustacean cardioactive peptide receptors (CCAPR) in the 28-spotted larger potato ladybird (Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata), a significant potato pest. The research identifies that CCAPR2 is the primary receptor coordinating pupal ecdysis, providing potential genetic targets for controlling this defoliating insect in potato crops.
This study identifies a beneficial endornavirus (RsEV-IM) in Rhizoctonia solani isolates collected from potato plants that significantly enhances fungal virulence and fitness. The virus increases the secretion of cell wall-degrading enzymes and improves stress tolerance, providing key insights into the pathological mechanisms of a major potato pathogen.
This study investigates the use of ozone-modified potato starch as a sustainable biomaterial for 3D-printed bone scaffolds. The research demonstrates that ozonation improves the starch's rheological properties, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility, highlighting its potential in tissue engineering and functional starch applications.
This study investigates the sex-specific transcriptomic profiles of the Colorado potato beetle, a major potato pest, during its diapause phase. The research identifies key gene expression patterns related to metabolic suppression and stress tolerance, offering insights into the regulatory mechanisms that allow this pest to survive winter.
This study investigates the interaction between epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and various starches, including potato starch, to evaluate impacts on structural stability and digestibility. The findings reveal that EGCG binds to potato starch to form complexes that enhance antioxidant capacity and reduce starch hydrolysis, providing insights for potato-derived food science and nutritional applications.
This study demonstrates that exogenous brassinolide (BR) mitigates cold-induced sweetening in potato tubers by regulating starch and sucrose metabolism pathways at the physiological and transcriptional levels. The treatment reduces the accumulation of reducing sugars and asparagine, thereby improving the color of fried chips and decreasing acrylamide formation during processing.
This study evaluates a kinetic-based optical fingerprinting method to distinguish samples of similar composition, including irradiated potato tubers. The research demonstrates that specific indicator reactions combined with chemometric analysis can accurately identify irradiated food products, offering a cost-effective tool for potato quality control.
This study evaluates the potential of specific endophytic Bacillus strains to control bacterial wilt in potatoes caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. The research demonstrates that these bacteria reduce pathogen virulence traits and induce systemic resistance in potato plants by upregulating defense-related genes like NPR1 and increasing antioxidant enzyme activities.
