This study evaluates how different blanching techniques affect the structural and functional properties of potato starch, specifically focusing on resistant starch content and retrogradation. It identifies high-humidity hot-air blanching as a superior method for enhancing thermal stability and restoring crystallinity in potato starch.
This study evaluates the metal-chelating and antioxidant properties of peptides derived from potato, seaweed, and microbial proteins to improve the oxidative stability of omega-3 enriched mayonnaise. The research demonstrates that bioinformatically predicted potato-derived peptides can effectively inhibit lipid oxidation, offering a natural alternative to synthetic food additives.
This study provides a chromosome-scale genome assembly of the hexaploid wild potato species Solanum demissum, a key source of late blight resistance in potato breeding. The researchers identified three distinct subgenomes and determined that the species likely originated from a hybridization event between S. verrucosum and S. acaule.
This study provides a genome-wide identification and characterization of 18 StCOMT genes in potato, analyzing their evolutionary relationships, structural features, and expression patterns. The findings suggest these genes play significant roles in stress resistance and development through the phenylpropanoid pathway, offering potential targets for potato molecular breeding.
This study evaluates the antifungal efficacy of licochalcone A derivatives against Rhizoctonia solani, a significant potato pathogen. The researchers demonstrated that compound 5b provides effective protective and curative control against R. solani on potato tissues by disrupting fungal membrane integrity and inducing oxidative stress.
This study investigates how plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas strains influence potato development and tuberization signaling in Solanum tuberosum cultivars. The research demonstrates that these bacteria can significantly induce the expression of the key tuberization regulator StSP6A and activate jasmonic acid-related pathways, affecting both tuber quality and root architecture.
This study investigates how combining maize stover mulching with optimized fertilization affects the rhizosphere microbiome and yield of greenhouse-grown potatoes. Metagenomic analysis revealed that specific management strategies enhance microbial diversity and enrich functional pathways related to carbon metabolism, ultimately supporting improved plant performance and productivity.
This review explores the ORANGE (OR) protein family's role as a master regulator of carotenoid biosynthesis and chromoplast biogenesis. It specifically highlights how 'golden SNP' variants can be used via CRISPR-based genome editing to enhance the nutritional profile of crops, including potatoes.
This study investigates the inhibitory mechanisms of Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) against Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen responsible for potato late blight. It demonstrates that COS disrupts pathogen metabolism and membrane biogenesis while inducing systemic resistance in potato plants, ultimately improving crop yield and disease management in field trials.
This study identifies a species-specific DNA fragment for Globodera rostochiensis, a major potato cyst nematode, to develop sensitive PCR and RAA-LFD diagnostic assays. These molecular tools enable rapid and field-deployable detection of the pest in soil and larvae, supporting potato biosecurity and quarantine efforts.
