This study investigates how geographic location and soil moisture levels influence the in-field development of silver scurf, a fungal disease in potatoes caused by Helminthosporium solani. The research focuses on environmental factors that affect the progression of the disease during the growing season.
This study investigates the interaction between potato protein and specific polysaccharides to enhance the stability and digestibility of emulsion systems. The findings provide a theoretical basis for using potato-derived proteins in the development of functional food delivery systems.
This study evaluates the performance of six commercial potato cultivars in a semi-arid environment, focusing on morphological, physiological, and nutrient-uptake traits. The research identifies specific cultivars, such as Sadaf and Musica, as climate-resilient genotypes with superior photosynthetic efficiency and nutrient assimilation, providing valuable data for potato breeding and cultivation in stress-prone regions.
This study identifies a phloem-specific HVA22-like protein in potato that regulates plasmodesmata permeability and facilitates the movement of sucrose transporters and other proteins. Functional analysis of transgenic potato plants demonstrates that this protein influences key physiological processes, including tuberization, leaf expansion, and root development.
This study investigates the molecular and hormonal mechanisms by which 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene (DMN) suppresses sprout growth in 'Russet Burbank' potato tubers during storage. The research demonstrates that DMN treatment alters the transcription and levels of key phytohormones, such as gibberellic acid and cytokinin, in a tissue-specific manner to maintain tuber dormancy.
This study investigates the impact of humic acid application on the growth, photosynthetic efficiency, and nutrient uptake of potato (Solanum tuberosum cv. Santana) under saline soil conditions. The research highlights how humic acid can mitigate the negative effects of salinity and high irradiance on potato crop yield and physiological performance.
This study investigates the use of metal oxide nanostructures to control early blight (Alternaria solani) in potato plants. It demonstrates that these nanostructures act as both direct antifungal agents and resistance inducers, significantly reducing disease severity and upregulating defense-related genes while improving overall yield.
This study utilizes potato-derived α-glucan phosphorylase (PGP) to engineer a high-efficiency enzymatic pathway for converting cellulose into artificial starch. By creating a fusion complex between the potato enzyme and phosphoglucomutase, the researchers significantly improved the yield of amylose, demonstrating a functional application of potato enzymes in synthetic biology.
This study develops a rapid and visual detection method for Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen responsible for potato late blight, using RPA-LFD technology. By targeting multi-copy specific sequences, the researchers provide a highly sensitive diagnostic tool to improve disease management in potato cultivation.
This study explores the use of potato peels as a sustainable substrate for amylase production by Bacillus species. It optimizes culture conditions and pretreatments to enhance enzymatic yield, demonstrating the potential for potato-derived agricultural waste in industrial biotechnology.
