StHAB1-mediated ABA signaling potentiates the sensitivity to long-distance signal StSP6A to promote tuberization in potato.

The New phytologist | PubMed: 2026-02-16

This study investigates the molecular mechanism of potato tuberization, demonstrating that StHAB1-mediated ABA signaling increases the plant's sensitivity to the mobile tuberigen signal StSP6A. The research highlights how endogenous ABA signaling plays a critical role in promoting and regulating tuber formation in Solanum tuberosum.

Role of Altered Metabolites and Metabolic Pathways in Major Tuber Crops Under Drought Stress.

Plant-environment interactions (Hoboken, N.J.) | PubMed: 2026-02-16

This review examines the metabolic responses and biochemical pathways involved in drought stress tolerance across major tuber crops, including potato. It highlights how altered metabolites contribute to plant resilience, providing insights for breeding and genetic improvement strategies.

PotatoGuardNet: a refined deep learning framework for potato leaf disease detection.

Frontiers in plant science | PubMed: 2026-02-16

This paper introduces PotatoGuardNet, a deep learning framework based on Inception-ResNet-V2 and Faster-RCNN designed for the automated detection and classification of potato leaf diseases. The model achieves high accuracy in identifying disease patterns from the PlantVillage dataset, offering a potential tool for improving potato pathology monitoring and crop protection.

Silica Nanoparticles Modulate Potato Defense and Tritrophic Interactions in a Growth-Stage-Dependent Manner: Effects on Myzus persicae Performance and Natural Enemy Behavior.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry | PubMed: 2026-02-16

This study investigates how silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) enhance potato plant defenses against the peach potato aphid (Myzus persicae) across different growth stages. The research demonstrates that SiNPs reduce aphid performance and increase parasitoid activity by modulating defensive volatiles and physiological responses, suggesting a potential application for integrated pest management in potato cultivation.

Lightweight scalable deep learning framework for real time detection of potato leaf diseases.

Scientific reports | PubMed: 2026-02-14

This paper describes the development of a lightweight and scalable deep learning framework for the real-time detection of potato leaf diseases. The research focuses on providing an efficient computational tool for identifying pathological conditions in potato crops to facilitate timely agricultural interventions.

Wireworm feeding on potatoes during ripening is affected by soil moisture, tuber mass, and cultivar but not by tuber CO2 respiration.

Journal of economic entomology | PubMed: 2026-02-14

This study investigates factors influencing wireworm damage in potato tubers, focusing on cultivar susceptibility, soil moisture, and harvest timing. The findings suggest that selecting resistant cultivars and managing environmental factors can mitigate crop losses, providing insights for potato breeding and pest management strategies.

Effects of mashed potato on techno-functional characteristics of set hybrid yogurt.

Journal of Food Science and Technology | PubMed: 2026-02-01

This study investigates the impact of incorporating mashed potato into yogurt at different concentrations to evaluate its techno-functional properties. Results indicate that adding mashed potato reduces syneresis and modifies texture and viscosity, with a 25% concentration providing optimal stability and texture for fermented dairy applications.
