This study provides a genomic characterization of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Tocosh, a traditional Peruvian fermented potato product. The research identifies specific bacterial species and their functional roles in starch degradation and safety, offering insights for the standardization and modern application of potato-based fermented foods.
This study describes the synthesis and evaluation of quercetin derivatives as antibacterial agents against Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the pathogen responsible for potato ring rot. The derivative 7-isopentenyloxy-4'-chloroflavonol showed significant protective and therapeutic activity in vivo by disrupting bacterial cell walls and membranes.
This study identifies the transcription factor E93 as a critical developmental regulator in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), a major potato pest. The research demonstrates that RNAi-mediated knockdown of E93, including through treated potato plants, disrupts beetle development and reproduction, offering a potential target for genetic-based pest management.
This study uses integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis to investigate how pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment induces a reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst in potatoes. The research identifies metabolic reprogramming in amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid pathways, suggesting that PEF can be used to modulate flavor and antioxidant properties in potato products.
This study investigates how low-frequency magnetic fields enhance the non-covalent binding between potato protein and purple potato anthocyanins. The treatment improves the structural stability, emulsifying capacity, and antioxidant properties of the resulting complex, suggesting potential applications in functional food development.
This review examines the application of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in root and tuber crops, including potatoes, to enhance traits such as disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, and nutritional quality. It discusses technical challenges in plant transformation and regeneration, regulatory frameworks, and next-generation strategies for engineering complex traits in polyploid crops.
This study investigates how the physical structure of potato chips, specifically corrugated designs, acts as a micro-reservoir to control the release kinetics of key aroma compounds. By integrating chemical and sensory analysis, the research demonstrates that these structures delay oral breakdown and prolong flavor perception, providing a basis for optimizing the sensory properties of potato-based products.
This review examines the application of CRISPR/Cas genome editing to overcome breeding challenges in autopolyploid crops, specifically highlighting Solanum tuberosum. It discusses targeted traits such as tuber quality and stress resilience, as well as technical advancements in multi-allelic modification and transformation efficiency.
This study evaluates the resistance of six potato cultivars to the potato tuber moth (Phthorimaea operculella) by analyzing life table parameters and biochemical traits. It identifies specific cultivars with higher susceptibility or resistance and correlates these traits with tuber starch and phenolic content to inform integrated pest management strategies.
This study identifies StLAX5 as a key auxin influx carrier that regulates stolon initiation and tuber number in potato by modulating indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) levels. The research demonstrates that StLAX5 expression levels directly influence stolon primordia development and internode elongation, ultimately determining overall tuber productivity.
