This study develops a high-dimensional CRISPR-SERS platform to track the molecular interactions between Potato virus Y (PVY) and its host. By analyzing the interactome topology, the research identifies key protein-protein interactions driving viral persistence and therapeutic response, which is highly relevant to potato pathology and disease resistance strategies.
This study presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Solanum brevicaule, a wild relative of the cultivated potato that exhibits strong resistance to potato cyst nematodes. The genomic resource and identified NLR genes provide a foundation for understanding nematode resistance and enhancing potato breeding efforts.
This study investigates the covalent modifications of potato proteins, specifically protease inhibitors and patatin, when reacting with chlorogenic acid under oxidative conditions. The research highlights how these interactions lead to browning and greening during protein extraction, providing insights for developing anti-browning strategies in potato-derived food science.
This study evaluates the effects of hydroxypropylated and oxidized starches on the rheological properties, microstructure, and printability of potato puree and barley seedling composite gels for 3D food printing. The results show that modifying starch type and concentration significantly influences gel network strength and water mobility. Specific formulations of modified starches were identified to optimize extrusion stability and shape retention in potato-based 3D food printing.
This study utilizes consensus sequence engineering to design a novel potato patatin variant, ConPatatin, to overcome the limitations of traditional extraction methods. The engineered variant showed significantly improved recombinant yield, solubility, stability, and enzymatic activity. Additionally, the researchers identified Gln289 as a key residue for achieving high-level soluble expression of the protein.
This study evaluates the biocontrol potential of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Z-7 against Verticillium dahliae, the causative agent of potato verticillium wilt. It identifies 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP) as a key antifungal component that disrupts the pathogen's cell wall and membrane integrity. The findings suggest these VOCs could serve as sustainable alternatives for managing potato verticillium wilt.
This review examines how light environments and the circadian clock regulate growth, development, and stress adaptation in horticultural crops, explicitly including potato. It highlights the role of photoperiodic control via the CO-FT module in governing developmental transitions. The insights support the design of optimized cultivation systems to improve crop yield and quality.
This study identifies 85 MAPKKK genes in potato (Solanum tuberosum) and characterizes the function of StMAPKKK44. Overexpression of StMAPKKK44 in potato plants enhances tolerance to salt and drought stress by improving antioxidant defense and osmotic balance. The findings suggest StMAPKKK44 is a promising target for breeding stress-resilient potato cultivars.
This study evaluates the resistance of four potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars to the aphid pest Myzus persicae using demographic life tables, settling preferences, and field trials. The results identify Evely Lucette as a highly susceptible host and Lucinda V7 as a relatively resistant cultivar. These findings provide valuable insights for breeding aphid-resistant potato cultivars and improving pest management strategies.
This study investigates the impact of temperature on the life-history traits of the aphid Myzus persicae and its transmission efficiency of potato virus Y (PVY) in potato crops. The researchers found that temperature significantly affects aphid development and fecundity, with PVY transmission efficiency peaking at 20 °C. These findings are crucial for predicting PVY spread and developing localized management strategies to protect potato production.
