The study identifies a transcriptional regulatory module in potato (Solanum tuberosum) where StNF-YC9 and StWRKY75 synergistically activate the expression of the purple acid phosphatase gene StPAP10b under low phosphate stress. The cell-wall-localized StPAP10b protein is released into the rhizosphere to enhance root acid phosphatase activity, facilitating the mobilization and utilization of organic phosphorus. This research provides molecular targets for improving phosphorus use efficiency in potato cultivation.
The study introduces a novel 2D-IC-IPAD chromatography system for the sensitive detection of maleic hydrazide, a sprout inhibitor, in complex vegetable matrices including potato. The method achieves high recovery rates and low detection limits, offering an automated, high-throughput platform for food safety monitoring in potato storage and processing.
This study utilizes RNA-seq profiling to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying multi-stress tolerance (osmotic, salinity, heat, and cold) during potato (Solanum tuberosum) microtuberization. It identifies 2,046 shared differentially expressed genes and highlights the StSP6A-FD tuberigen complex as a central regulatory hub linking tuber development with stress-responsive metabolic and redox pathways. These findings provide a genetic framework for improving potato resilience to combined abiotic stresses.
This study investigates the application of air jet impingement-assisted air frying on French fries and potato wedges to improve nutritional quality. The method significantly reduced oil absorption, lipid oxidation, and acrylamide formation compared to conventional deep-fat frying while maintaining acceptable sensory and textural properties.
This study examines how cell wall permeability in different potato cultivars influences starch digestion by regulating amylase access to the starch granules. The findings demonstrate that varietal differences in cell wall structure and pectin dissolution are key determinants of the digestibility of intact potato cells.
This study investigates the molecular structure and α-amylase hydrolysis patterns of potato starch compared to maize starch. It highlights that potato starch exhibits an 'outside-in' hydrolysis pattern influenced by the specific distribution of starch biosynthesis-related enzymes and amylose content in its outer shells versus inner blocklets.
This study investigates the role of niacin in inhibiting browning in fresh-cut potatoes by regulating ROS-redox homeostasis and pyridine nucleotide levels. It demonstrates that niacin treatment reduces oxidative damage and modulates the expression of key genes like StPPO and StG6PDH to maintain post-harvest quality.
This study investigates the use of cellulose microfibers derived from potato hulls, alongside yam and cassava, as reinforcements in PLA/PHBV biocomposite films. The research evaluates how potato-derived fillers influence the mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of sustainable packaging materials.
This study identifies seven PIF genes in the potato genome and characterizes the functional role of StPIF4 in drought stress response. The research demonstrates that StPIF4 enhances potato drought tolerance by regulating stomatal aperture, improving ROS scavenging, and modulating the expression of drought-responsive genes.
This study utilizes hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for the non-invasive early detection and severity grading of bacterial wilt in Solanum tuberosum. By applying machine learning models to spectral data, the researchers achieved high accuracy in identifying infected plants, providing a framework for high-throughput screening of resistant potato germplasm.
