This study investigates how straw mulching influences the bacterial community structure and functional potential in the rhizosphere, roots, and tuber peels of different potato cultivars. The research highlights how sustainable agricultural practices can enhance microbial diversity and potentially suppress diseases in potato cultivation.
This study investigates the genetic mechanisms of motility in Ralstonia solanacearum, a major pathogen responsible for bacterial wilt in potatoes. By analyzing mutants of pili and flagella encoding genes (pilY_1, fliP, and fliG) through transcriptomics, the research provides insights into how the pathogen navigates and infects host tissues.
This study investigates the molecular interactions between potato virus Y (PVY) and potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) in potato plants using transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling. The research highlights how co-infection enhances immune responses and alters hormone signaling pathways, particularly involving cytokinins and jasmonates, with PVY playing a dominant role in driving these changes.
This study investigates the impact of corn-derived starch nanorods on the rheological properties and 3D printing performance of mashed potatoes fortified with potato protein. The research demonstrates how these nanostructures influence the mechanical strength, hydrogen-bond networks, and structural rigidity of potato-based food inks.
This study evaluates the impact of silicon fertilizer on potato cultivation, specifically focusing on its ability to enhance drought tolerance and reduce soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. The research provides practical insights into improving potato resilience to abiotic stress and environmental sustainability in field conditions.
This study investigates how cadmium contamination in karst soils disrupts the potato rhizosphere microbiome, which in turn promotes the development of potato late blight. It highlights the complex interactions between environmental pollutants, soil microbial health, and potato disease susceptibility.
This article explores the historical efforts of Redcliffe Salaman to establish a national system for virus-free seed potato production in 1930s Britain. It highlights the transition of potato virus control from traditional practices to a scientific and regulated domain, laying the foundation for modern potato crop health strategies.
This study utilizes full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing to characterize the microbiome associated with potato wart disease, caused by the pathogen Synchytrium endobioticum. The research provides insights into microbial community structures across different potato genotypes and soil types, identifying potential biocontrol agents and functional pathways for disease suppression.
This study investigates the genetic basis of tuber dormancy in tetraploid potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic selection. Researchers identified several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) across multiple chromosomes and calculated genomic-estimated breeding values (GEBVs) to assist in breeding varieties with longer dormancy periods.
This study investigates how infection with Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd), a major potato pathogen, influences drought stress tolerance in tomato plants. The research provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of PSTVd pathology by examining its effects on photosynthesis and stress-responsive pathways.
