This study explores the use of L-asparaginase derived from Pleurotus ostreatus to reduce acrylamide formation in potato chips. The enzyme treatment significantly mitigated acrylamide levels and altered the potato's chemical profile, demonstrating its potential in potato-derived food safety and processing applications.
This study investigates the distribution and genetic diversity of potato viruses across various regions in Russia using de novo genome assembly and phylogenetic analysis. The research highlights the prevalence of recombinant variants of Potato Virus Y (PVY) and mixed infections involving PVM and PVS, providing a basis for developing dsRNA-based control strategies.
This study identifies scabicidin, a metabolite from insect-associated Streptomyces, as an effective control agent against potato scab. Scabicidin inhibits the DNA gyrase of Streptomyces scabies, demonstrating significant efficacy in both pot and field trials compared to commercial bactericides.
This study evaluates potato starch as a fat replacer in low-fat pork sausages, highlighting its high amylose content and superior water-retention capacities. The results demonstrate that potato starch improves the texture and moisture retention of sausages without negatively impacting their flavor profile.
This study investigates how post-harvest storage of Solanum tuberosum cultivars affects the physical and chemical properties of deep-fried potato mashes. The research highlights cultivar-specific changes in firmness and oil absorption during storage, suggesting that cell wall modifications rather than starch composition drive these quality differences.
This study identifies and characterizes four 'Candidatus Phytoplasma' species associated with potato purple top disease in Iran using molecular analysis of multiple genes. The findings provide a comprehensive survey of phytoplasma strains affecting potato crops in the region, which is crucial for disease management and understanding pathogen biology.
This study investigates the role of pectate lyase (PeL) genes in the pathogenicity of Ditylenchus destructor, a major potato rot nematode. The research identifies specific acidic and alkaline PeL isoforms and suggests that the nematode modulates host microenvironment pH to optimize enzymatic activity for successful infection.
This study explores the evolution and functional role of Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinases (NDPK) in the Solanaceae family, specifically focusing on potato (Solanum tuberosum). It identifies StNDPK3 as a key mitochondrial isoform in potato tubers that regulates redox homeostasis and suppresses reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by linking nucleotide metabolism to mitochondrial energy states.
This study investigates the physiological defense responses of potato leaves to Colorado potato beetle feeding, specifically focusing on changes in Photosystem II efficiency and photoprotective mechanisms. The research highlights how herbivory induces non-photochemical quenching and hydrogen peroxide production as signaling molecules in the plant's biotic stress response.
This study uses untargeted metabolomics to compare the root metabolic responses of resistant and susceptible potato cultivars to powdery scab infection. It identifies glutathione metabolism, specifically the accumulation of cysteinyl-glycine, as a key biochemical mechanism underlying host resistance.
