Abstract
Potato late blight (PLB), caused by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans, severely threatens potato production worldwide. This study investigates the potential of the ethylene precursor 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACCA) to inhibit Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases (LPMOs) in P. infestans, a key protein involved in the disease’s pathogenesis. Our findings demonstrate that ACCA significantly enhances the immune response in potato plants against P. infestans, with a binding energy of −8.85 kcal/mol. Integrating ACCA treatment into existing PLB management strategies could offer a novel and sustainable approach to combat this devastating disease. This research provides valuable insights into reducing the global impact of PLB and improving food security through innovative control measures.
