Nutritional and anti-nutritional compositional analysis of transgenic potatoes with late blight resistance

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Late blight, caused by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans, is a devastating disease affecting potato production globally, with adverse effects in Africa where limited access to fungicides exacerbates its impact.

Prediction of potato late blight disease incidence based on weather variables using statistical and machine learning models: A case study from West Bengal

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2023
Late blight is one of the most devastating diseases on potato the world over, including West Bengal, India. The economic and yield losses from outbreaks of potato late blight can be huge.

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Integrated management of late blight of potato

Journal of Applied and Natural Science, 2017
Late blight of potato is the major biotic constraint responsible for reduction in yield and quality of the pota-to crop. Globally, late blight is managed through application of multiple fungicidal chemical sprays affecting both human health and environment. Now a days, methods of biological control are gaining importance as these are non-toxic and also

SolRgene: an online database to explore disease resistance genes in tuber-bearing Solanum species

, 2011
Background The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food crop, but highly susceptible to many pathogens. The major threat to potato production is the Irish famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late ...

Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

Breeding Evaluation of Potato Hybrids for Late Blight Resistance

Agronomy
This study presents the results of scientific research analyzing the resistance to late blight in created potato hybrids of various maturity groups and the possibility of identifying early-maturing forms with increased resistance to both leaf and tuber ...

Enhancing Potato Late Blight Control: Triffa Plain Model Assessment (Eastern Morocco) [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Potato late blight Phytophthora infestans is a serious potato disease. In eastern Morocco and more precisely in the Triffa plain, late blight ravages potato fields, causing severe losses of up to 80%.

Boosting potato defence against late blight [PDF]

, 2013
For more than one century efforts has been made to obtain potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars resistant to late blight. However, introduced resistance has repeatedly been overcome by Phytophthora infestans (Mont) de Bary.

Determining frequencies of fungicide resistance in Leptosphaeria maculans that render demethylation inhibitor fungicides ineffective in the field

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
As little as 1–10% of the population is needed to be resistant for demethylation inhibitor fungicides to be rendered ineffective. Following a single round of selection, the frequency increases by more than 15% with limited fitness penalty detected when no selection is present.
