This study evaluates the effects of UV-C irradiation on the mechanical, optical, and physicochemical properties of starch-based films derived from the Ecuadorian potato variety Chola (Solanum tuberosum). The research demonstrates that these films maintain their structural integrity after prolonged UV exposure, supporting their potential use as sustainable and stable biodegradable materials.
This review explores the molecular mechanisms of Potato virus Y (PVY) pathogenicity and the corresponding immune responses in potato plants. It highlights recent advancements in identifying potato resistance genes, such as Rysto and Rychc, and discusses integrated management strategies for controlling PVY in potato production.
This study identifies Bacillus velezensis HZ33 as a biocontrol agent against Rhizoctonia solani, the cause of potato black scurf. Researchers identified specific cyclic lipopeptides, particularly marihysin B, which inhibit the pathogen by disrupting hyphal structures and cell membranes, offering a potential new strategy for managing this potato disease.
This study investigates the impact of adding potato peels to cabbage fermentation (sauerkraut) to evaluate changes in microbial diversity and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts. The research demonstrates that potato peel addition can boost LAB counts during the fermentation process, contributing to the understanding of potato-derived by-products in food science.
This study evaluates the use of potato starch alongside rice and pea starches to stabilize flaxseed protein emulsion gels for dysphagia-friendly food applications. The research highlights that potato starch (Type B crystalline) produces gels with superior hardness, water-holding capacity, and structural density compared to the other starch types.
This study explores the use of silica nanoparticles as nanocarriers for dsRNA to induce RNA interference (RNAi) against Potato Virus Y (PVY). The research demonstrates that ultraporous mesostructured silica nanoparticles (UMNs) effectively deliver therapeutic dsRNA, significantly reducing disease incidence and improving crop health in field conditions.
This review discusses advancements in doubled haploid (DH) technology and CRISPR/Cas9-based haploid induction for solanaceous crops, including potatoes. It highlights the importance of optimizing in vivo and in vitro protocols to accelerate breeding for biotic and abiotic stress resilience.
This review examines virus-encoded RNA silencing suppressors (VSRs) in Solanaceous crops, including potatoes, focusing on their mechanisms for overcoming host antiviral defenses. It explores the role of VSRs in viral pathogenesis, host-protein coevolution, and the potential for leveraging these interactions to develop sustainable disease management strategies.
This study employs untargeted metabolomics to identify and profile steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) and related metabolites in potato leaves. The research compares different extraction methods to enhance the detection of these specialized metabolites, which are critical for potato defense and quality.
This study investigates the role of extracellular vesicle (EV)-associated miRNAs in tomato plants during Potato virus Y (PVY) infection, a major pathogen affecting potato production. The research identifies specific miRNAs and pathways involved in the Solanaceous antiviral immune response, providing valuable insights into host-pathogen interactions relevant to potato pathology.
