This study provides a genome-wide identification and characterization of 18 StCOMT genes in potato, analyzing their evolutionary relationships, structural features, and expression patterns. The findings suggest these genes play significant roles in stress resistance and development through the phenylpropanoid pathway, offering potential targets for potato molecular breeding.
This study evaluates the antifungal efficacy of licochalcone A derivatives against Rhizoctonia solani, a significant potato pathogen. The researchers demonstrated that compound 5b provides effective protective and curative control against R. solani on potato tissues by disrupting fungal membrane integrity and inducing oxidative stress.
This study investigates how plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas strains influence potato development and tuberization signaling in Solanum tuberosum cultivars. The research demonstrates that these bacteria can significantly induce the expression of the key tuberization regulator StSP6A and activate jasmonic acid-related pathways, affecting both tuber quality and root architecture.
This study investigates how combining maize stover mulching with optimized fertilization affects the rhizosphere microbiome and yield of greenhouse-grown potatoes. Metagenomic analysis revealed that specific management strategies enhance microbial diversity and enrich functional pathways related to carbon metabolism, ultimately supporting improved plant performance and productivity.
This review explores the ORANGE (OR) protein family's role as a master regulator of carotenoid biosynthesis and chromoplast biogenesis. It specifically highlights how 'golden SNP' variants can be used via CRISPR-based genome editing to enhance the nutritional profile of crops, including potatoes.
This study investigates the inhibitory mechanisms of Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) against Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen responsible for potato late blight. It demonstrates that COS disrupts pathogen metabolism and membrane biogenesis while inducing systemic resistance in potato plants, ultimately improving crop yield and disease management in field trials.
This study identifies a species-specific DNA fragment for Globodera rostochiensis, a major potato cyst nematode, to develop sensitive PCR and RAA-LFD diagnostic assays. These molecular tools enable rapid and field-deployable detection of the pest in soil and larvae, supporting potato biosecurity and quarantine efforts.
This study identifies a regulatory mechanism in potato where the transcription factor StCAMTA3 is dually phosphorylated by calcium sensors StCIPK7 and StCPK5 to modulate immunity against Phytophthora infestans. The findings reveal how StCBL3 and StCPK5 counteract the repressive effects of StCAMTA3 to enhance disease resistance.
This study identifies the host kinase CDPK7-like as a key factor in viral infection mechanisms, specifically showing that its overexpression enhances resistance against Potato Virus Y (PVY). These findings provide a potential genetic target for functional genomics and breeding strategies aimed at improving PVY resistance in potato crops.
The study describes the development of a sensitive lateral-flow immunochromatographic assay for the detection of Mepiquat chloride residues in potatoes and other environmental samples. This research provides a practical tool for food safety monitoring and pesticide residue analysis in potato production.
