This review explores the application of nanotechnology in potato cultivation to combat major microbial diseases like late blight and soft rot. It highlights how nanoparticles can deliver pesticides, act as biosensors, and enhance genome-editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 to develop disease-resistant potato varieties while activating plant defense pathways.
This study identifies Streptomyces galilaeus as the dominant pathogen causing potato common scab in northern China and analyzes its genetic diversity through genome resequencing. The findings provide a critical foundation for developing targeted disease control measures and breeding resistant potato varieties tailored to specific regional pathogen populations.
This study evaluates the performance of early-bulking potato genotypes within intensified cropping systems to enhance land use efficiency and system productivity. The research demonstrates that selecting specific potato varieties allows for the inclusion of additional crops per year, significantly increasing economic returns and potato equivalent yields.
This study identifies StMYC1 as a key transcription factor in potato jasmonate signaling that simultaneously enhances tuber yield and herbivore resistance. Overexpression of StMYC1 improves photosynthetic capacity and starch biosynthesis while increasing the accumulation of steroidal glycoalkaloids, making it a promising target for potato breeding.
This study employs an integrative approach combining physiological, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses to investigate the mechanisms of drought stress response in potatoes. The research provides molecular insights into how potato plants adapt to water deficit at both the gene expression and metabolic levels.
This study investigates the effects of varying nitrogen fertilizer rates and intra-row spacing on the growth, yield, and profitability of the 'Belete' potato variety in Ethiopia. The findings suggest that applying 110 kg N ha⁻¹ with a 30 cm spacing optimizes seed tuber productivity and provides the highest economic return for farmers.
This study identifies and characterizes 34 thaumatin-like protein (TLP) genes in the potato genome, analyzing their structure, expression patterns, and regulatory networks. The research highlights the role of specific StTLP genes in response to biotic and abiotic stresses like salinity, heat, and pathogens, providing potential targets for improving potato stress resilience.
This study explores the evolutionary adaptation and host range dynamics of two Potato Virus Y (PVY) isolates, PVYNb and PVYSt, across different solanaceous plants. The research provides critical insights into how this major potato pathogen adapts to new hosts, which is essential for managing viral diseases in potato cultivation.
This study examines the impact of long-term conventional and organic farming systems on soil prokaryotic diversity in Kenya, specifically analyzing soil during the growth stages of potato and maize. The findings indicate that management intensity and organic input diversity significantly influence soil microbial community composition and resilience in these cropping systems.
This study identifies the Stu-miR393-5p-StTIR1A-StPLC2 regulatory module as a key controller of root architecture and auxin signaling in potato. The research demonstrates that this module influences adventitious root length and lateral root density, offering a potential genetic target for improving potato environmental adaptability.
