Role of Altered Metabolites and Metabolic Pathways in Major Tuber Crops Under Drought Stress

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought stress poses a significant challenge to growth and productivity of major tuber crops, particularly cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.). These crops are among the most widely cultivated tubers globally and play a critical role in food and nutritional security ...

From Local Biodiversity to Global Food Security: Antioxidant Evidence of Unconventional Edible Plants (2020–2025)

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2026.
This scoping review (2020–2025) compiles validated evidence on the antioxidant potential of unconventional edible plants (PANCs). Thirty species showed high phenolic content and strong radical‐scavenging activity, reinforcing their role as natural antioxidants and sustainable alternatives to synthetic additives within biodiversity‐based food systems ...

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Sweetpotato Accessions (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) Revealed by Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Markers

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 1, Page 85-94, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Use of molecular markers has improved the analysis of genetic variation by eliminating environmental influences on genotype performance. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity (GD) and population structure of 327 sweetpotato genotypes sourced from the major sweetpotato‐growing regions of Zimbabwe and from the ...

A structural perspective on α‐glucan catabolism in oxygenic phototrophs

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 3, February 2026.
SUMMARY Starch and glycogen are the main α‐glucan storage polymers in oxygenic photoautotrophs, ensuring metabolic continuity during day/night cycles and environmental stress. Their mobilization requires a suite of catabolic enzymes whose activities are tightly regulated to balance carbon storage with energy demands.

Discovery of a major QTL for resistance to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas) in the hexaploid Covington sweetpotato

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt disease, was once the most damaging pathogen of sweetpotato in the United States. Breeding for cultivar resistance has largely addressed this issue, however, little is known about the genetic basis for resistance.

Organic Farming Practices Facilitate Soil Carbon Stabilisation Following Massive Application of Ramial Chipped Wood: A Case Study of Sweet Potato Cultivation

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
ABSTRACT Improving soil organic matter contents in semi‐arid zones reduces the risk of soil degradation and improves climatic resilience. As a technique for the recarbonisation of abandoned or degraded soils, applications of massive amounts of exogenous biomass (EB) such as wood chips have not been widely tested, and agronomic integration is still ...
