This study identifies methionine synthase (MS) as a key regulator of plant defense that inhibits viral suppressors of gene silencing (VSRs) across multiple virus types, including Potato Virus X (PVX). The findings suggest that MS protein can be used to engineer broad-spectrum antiviral resistance in crops by disrupting the anti-gene silencing activities of diverse viral pathogens.
This study identifies endophytic bacteria from cassava, specifically Bacillus species, that exhibit strong antagonistic activity against Phytophthora infestans. These bacteria show potential as biocontrol agents for managing potato late blight by inhibiting mycelial growth through direct contact and the production of volatile organic compounds.
This study investigates the mechanisms behind late blight (Phytophthora infestans) suppression in potato intercropping systems using field experiments and epidemiological modeling. It quantifies the relative contributions of host dilution, microclimate modification, and barrier effects, demonstrating that their combined impact significantly reduces disease severity.
This study investigates the genome-wide DNA methylation landscape and its correlation with transcriptome changes in potato during Phytophthora infestans infection. The research identifies how specific methylation variations, particularly in CHH and CHG contexts, influence the expression of defense-related genes and NB-LRR genes, highlighting the role of epigenetic mechanisms in potato late blight response.
This study investigates how straw mulching influences the bacterial community structure and functional potential in the rhizosphere, roots, and tuber peels of different potato cultivars. The research highlights how sustainable agricultural practices can enhance microbial diversity and potentially suppress diseases in potato cultivation.
This study investigates the genetic mechanisms of motility in Ralstonia solanacearum, a major pathogen responsible for bacterial wilt in potatoes. By analyzing mutants of pili and flagella encoding genes (pilY_1, fliP, and fliG) through transcriptomics, the research provides insights into how the pathogen navigates and infects host tissues.
This study investigates the molecular interactions between potato virus Y (PVY) and potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) in potato plants using transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling. The research highlights how co-infection enhances immune responses and alters hormone signaling pathways, particularly involving cytokinins and jasmonates, with PVY playing a dominant role in driving these changes.
This study investigates the impact of corn-derived starch nanorods on the rheological properties and 3D printing performance of mashed potatoes fortified with potato protein. The research demonstrates how these nanostructures influence the mechanical strength, hydrogen-bond networks, and structural rigidity of potato-based food inks.
This study evaluates the impact of silicon fertilizer on potato cultivation, specifically focusing on its ability to enhance drought tolerance and reduce soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. The research provides practical insights into improving potato resilience to abiotic stress and environmental sustainability in field conditions.
This study investigates how cadmium contamination in karst soils disrupts the potato rhizosphere microbiome, which in turn promotes the development of potato late blight. It highlights the complex interactions between environmental pollutants, soil microbial health, and potato disease susceptibility.
