This study evaluates the impact of prior-induced regularization on the accuracy and stability of genomic prediction models using datasets from multiple crops, including potato. The findings demonstrate that effective regularization across genomic, environmental, and genotype-by-environment components is crucial for improving prediction accuracy and reducing error in plant breeding programs.
This study characterizes the quorum quenching bacterium *Acinetobacter schindleri* strain XJ-10 and its ability to degrade AHL signals to control soft rot disease. The strain's crude enzyme extract successfully reduced the incidence and severity of soft rot in potato (*Solanum tuberosum*) hosts. These findings suggest a potential biocontrol strategy for managing bacterial soft rot in potato cultivation.
The study evaluates the presence and heritability of resistance genes (such as Rx1, Gpa2, and H1) against viruses and nematodes in various potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars and hybrids. It demonstrates a tight genetic linkage between the Rx1 and Gpa2 loci on chromosome 12 and calculates a high heritability coefficient for the Rx1 marker. These findings support marker-assisted selection and targeted breeding for improved pest and disease resistance in potatoes.
This study investigates the role of the polyphenol oxidase gene StuPPO9 in potato (Solanum tuberosum) drought tolerance using overexpression and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout lines. The researchers demonstrated that StuPPO9 overexpression enhances drought resilience by improving photosynthetic efficiency, reducing reactive oxygen species accumulation, and reprogramming metabolic pathways. These findings identify StuPPO9 as a promising genetic target for breeding drought-resistant potato cultivars.
This review highlights the role of WRKY transcription factors in potato (Solanum tuberosum) and their potential for genetic manipulation to enhance resilience against abiotic and biotic stresses. It discusses key WRKY isoforms involved in stress tolerance and the current challenges in achieving stable, heritable genetic modifications. The paper emphasizes the need for advanced genomic approaches to translate WRKY-mediated regulation into resilient potato breeding strategies.
This study investigates the role of glutathione (GSH) in regulating selenium (Se) accumulation, assimilation, and detoxification in potatoes. The findings demonstrate that GSH reduces inorganic Se accumulation, promotes its conversion into organic forms such as selenocysteine and selenomethionine, and enhances redox homeostasis to alleviate oxidative damage.
This study evaluates computer vision models for in-the-wild plant disease recognition, specifically analyzing performance on various pathogens including potato late blight. The research demonstrates that fusing diverse, frozen vision backbones significantly improves diagnostic accuracy for plant pathologies compared to text-supervised methods.
This study investigates how different sequences of pH-shift and ultrasound treatments affect the physicochemical and gelling properties of potato and egg white protein composites. The research identifies specific treatment protocols, particularly alkaline pH shifts combined with simultaneous ultrasound, that significantly enhance protein solubility and gel quality for food processing applications.
This study utilizes a hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:tyramine N-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase (THT) enzyme derived from Solanum tuberosum to develop a high-yield biotechnological production process for hydroxycinnamic acid-tyramine conjugates in E. coli. The research demonstrates the functional application of potato-derived enzymes in synthesizing bioactive polyphenolic compounds at a bioreactor scale.
This study investigates the genetic diversity and population structure of Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato late blight, in southwestern China. The research highlights high genotypic polymorphism and extensive gene flow among regional populations, providing critical insights for managing this major potato pathogen.
