This study performed a genome-wide identification and characterization of nine annexin genes (StANN1–StANN9) in potato (Solanum tuberosum) to elucidate their roles in salt stress response. Integrated transcriptomic and WGCNA analyses highlighted key annexins, particularly StANN5 and StANN6, as major regulators in stress signaling and potential targets for breeding salt-tolerant potato varieties.
This study evaluated 73 Solanum tuberosum accessions for freezing tolerance and performed transcriptomic profiling on contrasting germplasm lines. The authors identified phenylpropanoid biosynthesis-related phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) genes as key candidate genes associated with the freezing stress response, providing valuable germplasm resources and molecular targets for breeding freezing-tolerant potato cultivars.
This study demonstrates that synthetic analogs of the potato systemin peptide can effectively enhance resistance against Potato Virus Y (PVY) in Solanum tuberosum. The findings suggest that these peptides serve as promising, eco-friendly bioregulators for protecting potato crops from both ordinary and recombinant viral strains.
This study investigated the effects of ultrasound-assisted enzymatic treatment and exogenous amino acids on the structural, antioxidant, and flavor properties of Maillard reaction products derived from potato protein hydrolysates. The results demonstrate that energy-divergent ultrasound combined with specific amino acids significantly enhanced antioxidant activity and low molecular weight peptide content while reducing bitterness and enhancing umami taste. Overall, the method provides a prospective approach for utilizing potato proteins to produce natural food flavorings with improved antioxidant profiles.
This study developed an attenuated Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV)-based vaccine vector capable of accommodating exogenous viral fragments, including sequences from Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato virus X (PVX). The engineered construct demonstrated effective cross-protection against these targeted virulent viruses, presenting a potential strategy for managing viral pathogens affecting potatoes and other crops.
This study explores the use of potato by-product-derived single-cell protein (SCP) as a functional ingredient to enhance the nutritional and bioactive properties of watermelon jelly. It highlights the potential for valorizing potato processing waste in food science applications, specifically focusing on antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities.
This study utilized dual RNA-seq to analyze the transcriptomic responses of potato (Solanum tuberosum) leaves during Botrytis cinerea infection. The authors identified key potato genes involved in defense signaling, hormone pathways, and specialized terpene biosynthesis (germacrene B and α-farnesene). A comparative analysis with tomato revealed conserved defense responses alongside species-specific differences in specialized metabolism and fungal virulence expression.
This study investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying PSTVd-induced tuber cracking and knob-like protuberances in Solanum tuberosum using transcriptomic and phytohormone metabolomic analyses. The researchers identified distinct gene expression patterns and hormonal profiles associated with each symptom, highlighting specific pathways related to defense, cell wall remodeling, and cell cycle regulation.
This study provides a comprehensive characterization of Colletotrichum coccodes isolates associated with potato black dot in Russia and Belarus. By utilizing morphological, physiological, and genomic analyses, the researchers identified phenotypic variation and genomic features of the pathogen, contributing to a better understanding of potato pathology.
This review summarizes recent CRISPR/Cas genome editing advancements in vegetable crops between 2020 and 2026, highlighting potato (Solanum tuberosum) as one of the primary targets alongside tomato. It examines progress across key trait categories, including biotic and abiotic stress resistance, yield, and quality, specifically noting innovations such as CRISPR/Cas13-mediated RNA virus resistance in potato.
