This study investigates how soil type and genotype influence root exudation patterns and resource allocation in several crops, including potato (Solanum tuberosum). The research highlights trade-offs between biomass accumulation and rhizodeposition, providing insights into belowground resource partitioning across different potato genotypes.
This review discusses strategies for developing transgene-free genome-edited potato lines using CRISPR/Cas technology, specifically addressing the challenges of the crop's autotetraploid and heterozygous nature. It evaluates methods to achieve precise genetic modifications while maintaining the elite genetic background of clonally propagated potatoes to meet regulatory standards.
This review evaluates the use of various plant proteins, including potato protein, in the development of electrospun nanofibers for wound dressings. It discusses the properties and electrospinning behaviors of these proteins as sustainable alternatives for biomedical applications.
This study focuses on engineering enhanced bacterial resistance in Solanaceous crops, a group that includes potato (Solanum tuberosum), using the LORE receptor. The findings are highly relevant to potato functional genomics and breeding programs aimed at improving disease resistance.
The study demonstrates the use of long-read RNA-seq to reduce bias in allele and gene expression counts, using Solanum tuberosum as an autopolyploid case study. It provides recommendations for improving allele assignment accuracy, such as mapping to personalized genomes and tracking multimapping reads. These methodologies are highly relevant for potato functional genomics and transcriptomic analyses.
This study investigates the effects of different polysaccharides on the stability and gel characteristics of Pickering emulsions stabilized by potato-soy protein composite nanoparticles. The findings demonstrate that incorporating polysaccharides like pullulan and κ-carrageenan improves the freeze-thaw stability, water retention, and mechanical strength of these potato-protein-based emulsion gels, aiding the development of plant-based fat substitutes.
The study evaluated fifteen potato (Solanum tuberosum) genotypes for resistance to the potato tuber moth (Phthorimaea operculella). Resistance was positively correlated with higher leaf trichome density and length, as well as elevated concentrations of glycoalkaloids and phenolic compounds. These resistant genotypes and associated traits can serve as valuable resources for future potato breeding programs.
This study details the enzymatic production of galacto-oligosaccharides (GaOS) from potato galactan using an endo-β-1,4-galactanase. The resulting potato-derived GaOS demonstrated high gastrointestinal stability, selective prebiotic activity by promoting beneficial gut bacteria, and concentration-dependent antioxidant properties, indicating their potential as functional food ingredients.
This study performs a comparative physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analysis of two potato cultivars with contrasting dormancy lengths during storage. The researchers identified key metabolic pathways and candidate genes, including those involved in cysteine/methionine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, and zeatin regulation, that coordinate tuber dormancy release and sprouting.
This paper is a correction to a study identifying natural resistance in potatoes triggered by the recognition of the Phytophthora infestans effector gene Avr3aEM. The research focuses on understanding the genetic mechanisms of late blight resistance in potato cultivars.
