Was the evolution of faster stomata driven by increased gas exchange rates rather than increasing water use efficiency?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Following changes in light flux, photosynthesis (A) typically adjusts more quickly than stomatal conductance (gs), which is dependent on changes in stomatal aperture. Faster stomatal responses are proposed to reduce water loss and enhance growth in dynamic light environments. Stomatal opening and closing parameters were determined in a range of

Chlorogonoplasty ID nasionach i bulwach ziemniaka – Solarium tuberosum L. jako wskaźnik odporności na streptomykozy [The chlorogonoplasts in the seeds and tubers of potato – Solatium tuberosum L. as indicator of resistance to the streptomycosis]

open access: yesActa Agrobotanica, 2015
Few varieties of Solanum tuberosum L. were investigated by histochemical methods. The dependence between the presence of the chlorogonoplasts and the resistance of the tested varieties to streptomycosis was found.

The potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida overcomes major potato resistance through selection on standing variation at a single locus

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Globodera pallida poses a major threat to potato production, with management strategies primarily relying on genetic resistance. However, increasing virulence in field populations across Western Europe raises major concerns for G. pallida control.

Genome-wide in silico identification and characterization of the stress associated protein (SAP) gene family encoding A20/AN1 zinc-finger proteins in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Stress associated proteins (SAPs) in plants have a key role in providing tolerance to multiple abiotic stresses. SAP gene family in Solanum tuberosum has not been fully studied before. This study identified 17 StSAP genes in S.

Transgenic Tobacco Plants Expressing Synthetic Peptides: A Functional and Structural Analysis for Pathogen Resistance

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Peptide Power: VR18 & KG18 Shield Tobacco from Bacterial Attack. A schematic shows how antimicrobial peptides VR18 and KG18 fight Pseudomonas syringae—bursting bacterial membranes and boosting disease resistance in transgenic tobacco, without harming plant health.

CsYABBY1 and CsMYB114 Enhance Acquired Drought Tolerance by Mediating Flavonoid Biosynthesis in Camellia sinensis

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought priming is a critical agronomic strategy for enhancing plant drought tolerance, yet the optimal priming intensity and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying subsequent drought responses in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) remain poorly characterised.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of potato (Solanum tuberosum L., Solanaceae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Potato (Solanum tuberosum) from the Solanaceae is the fourth most important food crop worldwide. In this study, five complete mitochondrial genome sequences of S. tuberosum were characterized through de novo assembly of whole genome sequencing data.

Managing potato biodiversity to cope with frost risk in the high Andes: a modeling perspective.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Austral summer frosts in the Andean highlands are ubiquitous throughout the crop cycle, causing yield losses. In spite of the existing warming trend, climate change models forecast high variability, including freezing temperatures.
