Phosphatidic Acid Application to Enhance Plant Virus Resistance.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) | PubMed: 2026-05-14

This study explores the use of phosphatidic acid (PA) as a signaling molecule to enhance plant immunity against Potato virus Y (PVY). The research demonstrates that exogenous PA application activates defense responses and reduces viral accumulation, offering a potential strategy for managing one of the most significant pathogens in potato cultivation.

Projecting 2D top-view of PSII efficiency onto 3D plant models to quantify PSII efficiency across canopy layers.

Plant methods | PubMed: 2026-05-14

The study introduces a phenotyping method that combines 2D chlorophyll fluorescence imaging with 3D structural data to map PSII efficiency across different canopy layers. It specifically evaluates Solanum tuberosum under drought stress, demonstrating how vertical canopy analysis can provide more accurate physiological insights for potato breeding and stress response modeling.

Unearthing the bioactive properties of potato (Solanum tuberosum) for improving metabolic health.

Critical reviews in food science and nutrition | PubMed: 2026-05-14

This review examines the bioactive compounds in various potato (Solanum tuberosum) varieties, such as polyphenols and resistant starch, and their role in mitigating metabolic syndrome. It highlights the molecular pathways and gut microbiome modulations through which these potato-derived constituents improve metabolic health and intestinal homeostasis.

First confirmation of sugar beet as a host plant for Reptalus quinquecostatus (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) nymphs.

Journal of economic entomology | PubMed: 2026-05-14

This study identifies sugar beet as a reproductive host for the planthopper Reptalus quinquecostatus, a vector for pathogens that cause rubbery taproot disease in potatoes. Understanding the vector's life cycle and host range is critical for managing the spread of these diseases in potato production.

Metal-phenolic interaction engineered potato protein/gelatin multifunctional films for food preservation and freshness monitoring.

International journal of biological macromolecules | PubMed: 2026-05-13

This study develops a multifunctional food packaging film using potato protein and gelatin as a matrix, reinforced with zinc oxide and caffeic acid. The resulting film exhibits enhanced mechanical properties, antioxidant capacity, and ammonia-responsive color changes, making it suitable for food preservation and freshness monitoring.

StICE1 activates StCBFs expression to regulate cold stress response in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) seedlings.

Plant science : an international journal of experimental plant biology | PubMed: 2026-05-13

This study identifies StICE1 as a key transcription factor in potato that enhances cold tolerance by directly activating the expression of StCBF genes. Through functional genomics and molecular assays, the researchers demonstrated that the StICE-StCBF-StCOR/StKIN1 pathway regulates antioxidant defenses and osmotic homeostasis, providing a target for breeding frost-resistant cultivars.

Deep convolutional models for robust multi-crop disease recognition in real-world conditions.

Scientific reports | PubMed: 2026-05-13

This study develops a web-based deep learning system for multi-crop disease detection, specifically including potato as one of its eight target crops. The research evaluates CNN architectures for identifying potato diseases from leaf images and integrates a Large Language Model to provide diagnostic information and treatment options.

Maturity-Dependent Volatile Flavor Profiling of Baked Potatoes via HS-SPME-GC-MS, Multivariate Statistical Analysis, and Computational Modeling.

Foods (Basel, Switzerland) | PubMed: 2026-05-13

This study investigates the impact of maturity on the volatile flavor profile of baked potatoes using HS-SPME-GC-MS and sensory evaluation. It identifies key pyrazine and aldehyde compounds as indicators of maturity and explores their interaction with human olfactory receptors through molecular docking.
