This study evaluated and optimized a multi-processor UV-C reactor system to effectively inactivate major potato pathogens, Ralstonia solanacearum and Pectobacterium carotovorum, in surface irrigation water. By combining pre-filtration with an optimized UV-C radiation dose, the system achieved a 4-log reduction in pathogen load and successfully suppressed soft rot development in potato tubers.
This study integrates transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of a segregating tetraploid potato population to elucidate the regulatory networks underlying starch accumulation. It highlights key transcription factors (AP2/ERF, MYB, bHLH) and structural genes involved in carbon partitioning and starch biosynthesis. These findings offer potential molecular targets for breeding and genetic editing to improve potato starch content.
This study identifies the acyl-ACP thioesterase gene FATA as a key factor associated with drought tolerance in tetraploid potato (Solanum tuberosum). Functional analyses in Arabidopsis and haplotype profiling in potato cultivars demonstrate that FATA regulates cuticle permeability and water stress responses by facilitating fatty acid export for cutin biosynthesis. Additionally, protein structural modeling highlights potential isoform-specific enzymatic activity in potato.
This study develops a 3D conjugate fluid-solid model to simulate heat and mass transfer, moisture evaporation, and oil uptake during deep-fat frying of potato strips at various temperatures. The model demonstrated that higher oil temperatures (particularly 190 °C) accelerate moisture loss while significantly reducing oil absorption. Overall, it provides a predictive tool for optimizing potato frying processes to reduce oil content and improve product quality.
This study identifies the transcription factor StERF87 as a positive regulator of resistance against bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum) in potato. Functional analysis demonstrates that StERF87 activates the StPR1a promoter and integrates salicylic acid and ethylene signaling pathways to enhance plant defense.
This study investigates the impact of broad bean hull extract on the in vitro hydrolysis of various starches, including potato starch. It demonstrates that the extract reduces starch digestibility by inhibiting α-amylase activity and promoting structural organization and thermal stability in the starch molecules.
This study investigates how acetic acid pretreatment improves the texture of cooked potato slices by remodeling pectin structure and strengthening its binding to cellulose. The research demonstrates that these modifications stabilize the cell wall architecture and enhance thermal stability, preventing the degradation of firmness during processing.
This study developed a sensitive immunochromatographic assay strip for the rapid detection of fluopyram fungicide residues in potatoes and soybeans. The method utilizes a novel antibody designed through computer-assisted simulation to provide reliable on-site monitoring of chemical residues in potato-derived food products.
This study presents a hybrid deep learning framework, ConvMixer-ViT, and a preprocessing method called EnviroSpect for the robust detection of potato diseases like early and late blight in diverse field environments. The model achieves high accuracy with low computational requirements, offering an efficient solution for real-time potato pathology monitoring on resource-constrained devices.
This study characterizes Pseudomonas stutzeri P1, an endophytic bacterium isolated from potato, through whole-genome sequencing and biochemical analysis. The research identifies genetic traits for nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and biocontrol against fungal pathogens, highlighting its potential as a bioinoculant for sustainable potato cultivation.
