This study evaluates the postprandial glycaemic, insulin, and appetite responses to meals containing potato, pasta, or rice when combined with lamb or soy protein. The findings indicate that adding either protein source significantly reduces the postprandial glycaemic response of potato and enhances satiety.
This paper proposes SLR-YOLO, an improved YOLO-based object detection model designed to accurately detect potato leaf diseases in complex field environments. The model incorporates deep symptom enhancement, lesion selection attention, and multi-scale refinement modules to improve detection accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in mAP50 and average recall while maintaining real-time processing speeds.
This review examines the functions of Class I KNOX1 transcription factors in horticultural crops, highlighting their role in potato tuber morphogenesis. It discusses how these transcription factors integrate phytohormone signaling to regulate development and proposes genetic engineering strategies, such as CRISPR/Cas9, to improve agronomic traits.
This study evaluates and compares eddy covariance and boundary-layer scintillometry methods for measuring evapotranspiration in an irrigated potato field in Lebanon. The research provides insights into accurate water-use monitoring and irrigation management strategies specifically for potato cultivation in water-scarce regions.
This study evaluates the effects of five commercial biostimulants on the physiology, water use efficiency (WUE), and tuber quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum) under drought stress. The findings indicate that while certain biostimulants improve leaf-level WUE and alter tuber sugar composition, they provide limited overall alleviation of drought stress on biomass and yield.
This study identifies and describes two novel bacterial species, Streptomyces borealis and Streptomyces saintjeani, associated with potato common scab in Canada. Genomic analyses revealed that despite lacking the typical thaxtomin biosynthetic gene cluster, these strains possess alternative virulence determinants and distinct carbohydrate-active enzyme repertoires.
This review explores the use of plant-based protein hydrolysates, including those derived from potato peels, as sustainable natural emulsifiers in food applications. It discusses the factors influencing their emulsifying properties, bioinformatics tools for peptide prediction, and their role in enhancing the stability and shelf life of various food products.
This study investigates the impact of broccoli biofumigation on controlling potato Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum. The researchers found that biofumigation reduces disease incidence and increases tuber yield by directly inhibiting the pathogen and indirectly reshaping the potato rhizosphere bacterial community to enrich antagonistic taxa.
This study evaluates the development of biodegradable, edible food packaging films made from potato thermoplastic starch (TPS) incorporated with cistus and white mulberry leaf extracts. The addition of these extracts improved the mechanical, barrier, antioxidant, and antifungal properties of the potato starch-based films. The resulting materials successfully inhibited lipid oxidation in packaged oily products, demonstrating a functional application for potato-derived starch.
This study utilizes potato starch as a base material to develop antibacterial and antioxidant films functionalized with anthocyanins and essential oil emulsions. The research characterizes the physical, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties of these potato-starch-based films for their application in beef preservation.
