Summary: Salinity stress significantly reduces plant height, stem numbers, and tuber yield in potato varieties. Salt-tolerant genotypes exhibit better performance under salt stress due to a strong antioxidant defense system and osmotic adjustment, suggesting their potential for breeding new high-yielding, salt-tolerant lines. Specific physiological and biochemical traits were identified as predominant for tuber yield under salt stress, providing insights for further genetic and molecular studies on salt tolerance in potato.

Summary: The research revealed the essential role of JAZ1-like-mediated JA signalling in potato tuberization by suppressing tuber initiation and modulating the expression of genes associated with transcriptional regulators, cell cycle, and cytoskeleton. Additionally, the destabilization of StJAZ1-like upon treatment with abscisic acid (ABA) and the partial rescue of the attenuated tuberization phenotype in StJAZ1-like ox plants by ABA treatment were also demonstrated.

Summary: This study reveals the importance of the gene StBBX24 in flowering repression and salt stress response in potato plants. Silencing StBBX24 expression leads to earlier flowering and increased susceptibility to high salinity, while overexpressing StBBX24 results in a similar flower bud development as wild-type plants and improved salt tolerance.

Summary: Melatonin has protective effects on salt-stressed potato plants by improving growth parameters, photochemical activity, water status, ion content, and antioxidant system activity. It decreases the negative effects of salt stress and reduces oxidative damage in potato leaves. Melatonin also promotes the accumulation of low-molecular-weight antioxidants, such as proline, flavonoids, and carotenoids.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of irrigation water saving strategies on potato tuber growth and nutritional composition. The results showed that irrigation from tuber initiation up to 50% of tuber growth could improve the nutritional composition of tubers, while irrigation from 50% of tuber growth to the end of tuber growth had similar results to the dry control group.

Summary: Potato quality characteristics are affected by genotype x environment interaction. AMMI and GGE biplot analyses were used to study GEI in potato quality traits. The results showed that genotype had a significant impact on dry matter, citric acid, DPPH and washability, while environment had a greater effect on total phenolics, vitamin C, reducing sugars and FRAP. Salad Blue was identified as the most suitable genotype for dry matter, total phenolics, vitamin C and FRAP across different environments.

Summary: The pre-harvest foliar implementation of proline, methionine, and melatonin had a significant impact on the shelf-life and active composites of cauliflower florets during cold storage. Treated florets exhibited lower water loss, electrolyte leakage, browning index, and titratable acidity compared to untreated plants. Additionally, the pre-harvest treatments slowed down the loss of various nutrients and improved enzyme activity, resulting in improved nutritional quality and reduced browning.

Summary: This study conducted proteomic profiling of Botrytis cinerea conidial suspension in a plant experimental system and found that 219 proteins were involved in the infection of host plants by B. cinerea. These proteins were mainly secretory proteins, categorized as carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes, cell wall degrading proteins, redox-related proteins, proteases, and proteins with unknown functions. Phenotypic analysis on deletion mutants showed that these proteins differentially regulated the growth, conidiation, and virulence of B. cinerea on fruit. These differentially expressed proteins during fruit infection may provide insights into the mechanisms underlying B. cinerea pathogenesis and potential molecular targets for controlling grey mold.

Summary: This study conducted a field trial to evaluate the physiological responses and tolerance of jojoba plants to salinity stress, focusing on the role of proline as a foliar application. The results showed that proline at 450 ppm enhanced the growth and physiological characteristics of jojoba plants, as well as promoted the antioxidant system. The anatomical structure of leaves also exhibited favorable variations. These findings suggest that proline foliar application can improve the physicochemical and morphological characteristics of jojoba plants under salinity stress.
