This study investigates how aqueous rosemary extract (ARE) primes defense responses in Solanum tuberosum against Potato Virus X and Phytophthora infestans. By analyzing cultivar-specific metabolic profiles and gene expression, the research demonstrates that ARE can significantly reduce pathogen accumulation and lesion size, highlighting the role of basal metabolic states in priming efficiency.
This study investigates the effects of curdlan and gellan gum on the structural stability and retrogradation of potato starch gels. The findings demonstrate that these additives enhance gel hardness and thermal stability while delaying retrogradation through modified molecular interactions and improved water retention.
This study utilizes optical absorption and scattering properties to non-destructively monitor quality changes, such as starch and soluble solids content, in colored potato cultivars during alternating cold and ambient storage. By applying machine learning algorithms to spectral data, the researchers developed high-accuracy prediction models for moisture, starch, and firmness, facilitating rapid quality assessment in post-harvest potato management.
This study develops an attention-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for the classification of plant diseases, specifically utilizing potato leaf images from the PlantVillage dataset. The model achieved high accuracy in identifying potato diseases and demonstrates potential for cross-dataset generalization in agricultural pathology applications.
This study evaluates the shelf life of fresh vegan spinach gnocchi, a potato-based pasta product, by monitoring its microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory properties under different storage temperatures. The research identifies texture (hardness) as the primary quality attribute affected by temperature and establishes a predicted shelf life of approximately 42 days using a time-temperature tolerance approach.
This study uses integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis to investigate the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in pigmented potato cultivars. It identifies key structural genes and transcription factors, such as MYB and WD40, that regulate flavonoid and anthocyanin accumulation, providing a basis for improving potato nutritional quality.
This study investigates the physiological and transcriptional responses of potato (Solanum tuberosum) to varying nitrogen levels, identifying key genes and pathways involved in tuber formation. Through transcriptome analysis and co-expression networks, it highlights hub genes and transcription factors like WRKY and ARF that regulate nitrogen use efficiency and tuber development.
This study evaluates novel dillapiol analogs as insecticide synergists to manage resistance in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), a major potato pest. The research demonstrates that these compounds effectively inhibit detoxification enzymes like P450 monooxygenases and glutathione S-transferases, offering potential for improved pest control in potato cultivation.
This systematic review evaluates the potential of agri-food by-products, specifically including potato industry residues, as sources of bioactive compounds for developing biopesticides. It examines the phytochemical composition of these residues and their efficacy against various agricultural pests and pathogens within a circular economy and Industry 4.0 context.
This study evaluates the use of red potato pulp, alongside other plant by-products, as a nutritional additive in extruded corn snacks. The research demonstrates that incorporating potato pulp enhances the phytochemical content, antioxidant activity, and dietary fiber of the final food product.
