Bacterial wilt pathogen is soil as well as tuber borne, so early detection of bacterial wilt pathogen is necessary to take up timely management practices. Traditional methods used for detection of <i>R. solanacearum</i> are labour-intensive, expensive, time-consuming and can be carried out only in well-equipped laboratories. Hence, the present study was aimed to develop a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for <i>R. solanacearum</i>, as an alternative approach for quick and efficient detection of the bacterial wilt. LAMP reaction mix was optimized by adjusting the concentrations of MgSO_4, dNTPs, betaine, and time, temperature etc. The optimum temperature and time for the detection of <i>R. solanacearum</i> were 65 °C and 50 min, respectively. The positive samples showed colour change from violet and were reconfirmed in 2% agarose gel electrophoresis which produced ladder like bands. The LAMP assay developed was highly specific to detect <i>R. solanacearum</i> from other bacteria and sensitive with a lowest detection limit of 10 pg/µl of template DNA. The developed LAMP assay was validated with <i>R. solanacearum</i> isolates, infected stems, tubers and soil, and also, it was capable of detecting latent infection of <i>R. solanacearum</i> in seed tubers. Hence, the LAMP assay protocol provides a rapid, specific and sensitive tool for the latent detection of <i>R. solanacearum</i> in seed potato tubers.</p>","PeriodicalId":20378,"journal":{"name":"Potato Research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139666954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a need to quantify the requirement of key weather and soil climatic variables during the critical growth stages of potato. The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of varying weather and soil microclimatic factors during critical growth stages on potato yield in the subtropical climate. Field experiments were conducted in 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 at Kharagpur, India, to determine the relationship between key weather as well as soil microclimate factors and potato tuber yield. The experimental data were used for validation of the crop model DSSAT-SUBSTOR-Potato and simulation of potato tuber yield for varying weather. The effects of three weather variables, i.e. maximum temperature (<i>T</i>_max), minimum temperature (<i>T</i>_min), and solar radiation (<i>S</i>_rad), and two soil variables, i.e. soil moisture (SM) content and soil temperature (ST), on potato yield were assessed through regression analysis. During the ‘Emergence to tuber initiation’ stage, the factors <i>T</i>_max, <i>S</i>_rad, and SM and during ‘Tuber initiation to maturity’ stage, the factors <i>S</i>_rad and SM had significant effects (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05) on potato production.

Overexpression of these transcription factors in plants improved plant biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this context, we have envisaged transferring a cDNA encoding the grapevine <i>VvWRKY2</i>TF in potato plants. Four transgenic lines were selected (BFW2A, BFW2C, BFW2D, and BFW2F). In the present study, their response to Cadmium (Cd) stress (50, 100, 150, and 300 μM) was evaluated in vitro. Cadmium is recognized as being among the most harmful heavy metals to plants. Its accumulation in plant cells and tissues disturbs cell homeostasis and causes numerous metabolic damages that affect productivity. The wildtype (WT) plants from the BF15 potato variety and the transgenic plants overexpressing <i>VvWRKY2</i>TF were submitted to cadmium in vitro stress for 20 days. Plant growth and oxidative stress parameters were followed in these plants. All transgenic plants appeared more vigorous than WT. The BFW2A, BFW2C, and BFW2D lines showed better stem development rates than the WT and BFW2F lines. Malondialdehyde (MDA) production in both roots and leaves was reduced in BFW2A, BFW2C, and BFW2D plants as compared to BFW2F and WT plants. This result was associated with the best antioxidant activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) displayed by these genetically modified lines suggesting their better adaptation to Cd stress conditions. Cd accumulation in plant tissues was investigated, and higher levels of Cd were found in transgenic plants than in WT plants. These findings point to a functional Cd sequestration mechanism in the roots of transgenic plants expressing <i>VvWRKY2</i>. These findings imply that the <i>VvWRKY2</i> TF is implicated in heavy metal response signaling processes. Its overexpression in plants may be an efficient strategy to reduce the negative effects of Cd stress, promoting the growth patterns and the activity of reactive oxygen species-scavenging enzymes in potato plants.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":20378,"journal":{"name":"Potato Research","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139509686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rapid urbanisation and the expansion of the fast food industry have greatly contributed to the significant expansion of India's potato processing sector, particularly in relation to the popular and fast-selling food item, French fries. Despite being the world's second-largest producer of potatoes, India processes only a small fraction, approximately 0.6%, of its total potato production into frozen French fries. In contrast, industrialised countries typically process over 80% of their potato harvest into frozen French fries. Current consumption patterns and preferences indicate that there is significant potential for further expansion in the Indian frozen French fry industry. According to an analysis of the Indian Agri-processing industry, the future demand for processing potatoes is projected to be highest for French fries, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6% followed by dehydrated potato flakes (7.6% CAGR) and potato crisps (4.5% CAGR). Factors limiting industry expansion mainly include technical challenges (availability of poor quality seed; limited genetic base for the development of new varieties; prevalent diseases like late blight) and natural resource constraints (declining water tables associated with unpredictable and reduced rainfall). The primary issue facing the industry is consistent and assured supply of high-quality raw materials.

The study applied the SUBSTOR-Potato model and outputs of 24 general circulation models to capture future variability in climate conditions for four shared socioeconomic pathway-representative concentration pathway scenarios. Without planting date adjustment, tuber yield was projected to increase by approximately 20% for spring and summer potato, indicating that the CO₂ fertilization effect would offset the adverse effect of rising temperature. The effect of planting date adjustment was significant only for spring potato, where overall climate change impact with the optimized planting date was approximately +60%. For spring potato, the effects of rising temperature were bidirectional: temperature increases early in the year extended the growing season, whereas the higher temperature increases in June under the most severe climate change condition accelerated leaf senescence and reduced tuber bulking rate. Based on these results, different adaptation strategies could be established for spring potato for different climate change conditions. For example, developing frost-tolerant cultivars would continue to be recommended to plant earlier under the mild climate change conditions, whereas breeding mid-late maturity cultivars with high-temperature tolerance would be needed to delay senescence and enhance late tuber growth under the severe climate change conditions. Unlike spring potato, the breeding goal for summer potato of increasing high-temperature tolerance holds across all climate change conditions. Finally, these optimistic results should be interpreted with caution as the current model does not fully capture the effect of high-temperature episodes and the interactive effect between CO₂ and temperature, which may reduce beneficial projected climate change impacts.</p>","PeriodicalId":20378,"journal":{"name":"Potato Research","volume":"211 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139496055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, an exploratory study of the preparation of starch nanoparticles from these potato varieties by the flash nanoprecipitation method was performed. The morphology (scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy), crystallinity (X-ray diffraction), thermal (differential scanning calorimetry), rheological (rapid visco analyser) and hydration properties are reported. Starches from Patagonia potato (PPS) and Asterix potato (APS) were isolated by the wet milling method. PPS and APS had similar starch content on fresh weight basis, around 15%. The granule particle sizes of Chilean potato starches showed a unimodal distribution, in the range of 10–90 µm.

Gelatinisation temperature and enthalpy were 58.6 and 60.1 °C and 15.5 and 17.8 J/g for APS and PPS, respectively. Significant differences were obtained in the pasting parameters of Chilean potato starches; the rapid visco analyser pasting profiles of PPS exhibited a large viscosity peak and APS did not show a distinctive viscosity peak. The pasting profiles of APS are required for food products such as soups and sauces. Spherical nanoparticles were prepared from the Chilean potato starches by flash nanoprecipitation method using two micromixer devices: confined impinging jet mixer and multi-inlet vortex mixer.
