This study investigates the role of the Ecdysis Triggering Hormone (ETH) in the pupation of Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata, a major potato-defoliating pest. The research demonstrates that ETH is essential for initiating ecdysis behavior and cuticle pigmentation, offering insights into potential molecular targets for controlling this potato pest.
This study uses high-throughput sequencing to profile the virome of potato crops in Bangladesh, identifying ten distinct viruses including the first report of potato virus V (PVV) in the region. The research highlights high rates of co-infection and provides complete genome sequences and phylogenetic analysis for several isolates, offering a foundation for managing viral diseases in potato production.
This review examines the role of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) proteins as key regulators of photoperiodic signaling, specifically highlighting their function in promoting tuberization in potatoes. It describes the transcriptional induction of FT genes in potato stolons and their role in sustaining developmental transitions induced by day length.
This study investigates the biofortification of potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum) with organic iodoquinolines, assessing the impact of various cooking methods on iodine retention and tuber composition. It also evaluates the bioavailability of iodine and its metabolic effects in Wistar rats, highlighting the potential of biofortified potatoes as a dietary strategy for iodine supplementation.
This study investigates the enabling factors and barriers for upscaling saline agriculture, focusing on four salt-tolerant crops including potato. The research identifies that personal motivations and natural resource interactions are key factors for the successful expansion of potato cultivation in salt-affected regions.
This study investigates the effects of potato starch and acetylated potato starch on the oil absorption and structural properties of fried noodles. It demonstrates that acetylated potato starch enhances gluten cross-linking and increases resistant starch content, leading to a significant reduction in oil absorption compared to regular potato starch.
This study identifies the m6A demethylase StALKBH10B as a negative regulator of salt tolerance in potato by modulating the stability and translation of transcripts in the ABA signaling and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways. The research provides a transcriptome-wide m6A map and highlights specific candidate genes for breeding salt-tolerant potato cultivars.
This study evaluates the impact of substituting chemical nitrogen fertilizers with organic alternatives on potato and wheat yields in Northwest China. The research demonstrates that a 60% replacement level optimizes soil nitrogen transformation and enzyme activity, significantly increasing potato tuber yield and nitrogen transport efficiency.
This review explores the application of nanotechnology in potato cultivation to combat major microbial diseases like late blight and soft rot. It highlights how nanoparticles can deliver pesticides, act as biosensors, and enhance genome-editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 to develop disease-resistant potato varieties while activating plant defense pathways.
This study identifies Streptomyces galilaeus as the dominant pathogen causing potato common scab in northern China and analyzes its genetic diversity through genome resequencing. The findings provide a critical foundation for developing targeted disease control measures and breeding resistant potato varieties tailored to specific regional pathogen populations.
