This study evaluates a strategy to integrate high-throughput phenotyping data into sparse testing for potato breeding to enhance predictive accuracy in multi-environment trials. By using image-based environmental kernels, the researchers achieved predictive accuracies for tuber yield that were comparable to or better than traditional genomic prediction models.
This study identifies and characterizes 11 DUF668 genes in the potato (Solanum tuberosum) genome, analyzing their structure, evolution, and expression patterns. The findings suggest these genes play significant roles in potato growth and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses, particularly salt and osmotic stress.
Researchers used CRISPR-Cas9 to simultaneously knock out the ScSBE II and ScVInv genes in diploid Solanum chacoense to improve starch composition and processing quality. The resulting lines showed significantly higher resistant starch content and reduced cold-induced sweetening, leading to lighter-colored chips with lower acrylamide levels.
The study identifies the potato receptor-like kinase StLecRK. IX, which interacts with StLRPK1 and StBAK1 to form a complex that positively regulates resistance to late blight (Phytophthora infestans). Overexpression of StLecRK. IX enhances immune responses, including ROS production and callose deposition, making it a potential target for improving disease resistance in potato crops.
This study identifies the transcription factor NbDPB as a positive regulator of resistance against Potato Virus X (PVX) by modulating the NbMYB-dependent signaling pathway. The research demonstrates that the NbDPB-NbMYB module enhances antiviral defense through the activation of jasmonic acid and salicylic acid pathways, providing key insights into the molecular mechanisms of potato virus resistance.
This study investigates the evolutionary transition of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) homologs from non-tuberous ancestors to the cultivated potato, focusing on how genes like StSP6A were remodeled to control tuberization. The research highlights that specific genetic expansions and functional divergences in these florigenic signals were necessary to facilitate tuber development in the Solanum section Petota.
This study investigates the interfacial properties and digestive stability of hybrid particles formed from potato protein and quercetin. The research demonstrates that these hybrid particles improve the stability of emulsions during gastric digestion compared to standard potato protein, suggesting potential applications in food science and nutrient delivery.
This study describes the structural characterization and immunomodulatory activity of a low-molecular-weight α-glucan produced through the fermentation of potato starch by an Antarctic fungus. The research highlights the potential of potato-derived substrates for developing natural immunomodulators that enhance macrophage activity and immune responses.
This study develops active composite films using potato starch and sodium alginate incorporated with theabrownin to improve food packaging properties. The resulting films demonstrated enhanced mechanical strength, antioxidant capacity, and effective preservation of fresh mushrooms by reducing weight loss and browning.
This systematic review explores the use of marine-derived alginate oligosaccharides to reduce sodium content in coated frozen foods, including fried potato products. It examines how these compounds influence microstructure, water retention, and flavor perception to compensate for reduced salt levels in processed food matrices.
