Summary: The study focused on profiling the volatile composition of potato tubers inoculated with pectinolytic bacteria to identify biomarkers for different pathogens, with promising results in discriminating between inoculated samples. Continuous monitoring of storage facilities and tuber shipments atmosphere may be a powerful tool in early detection and prevention of pectinolytic bacterial infections, ultimately reducing economic damages and global food loss.

Summary: The growth and survival of terrestrial plants require control of their interactions with the environment, with specific attention to the protection conferred by outer skins for major food crops. Recent studies have shown that gene silencing can increase the load of wax and suberin depolymerization products in tuber periderm.

Summary: This study comprehensively analyzed the primary and secondary metabolites of seven tomato varieties, discovering 30 newly reported substances. Light-colored tomatoes were found to be rich in valuable antioxidants, flavonoids, while red tomatoes contained tomatoside A, an antihyperglycemic saponin. Spectral analysis showed high phenolic content in light tomatoes. GC-MS analysis revealed that monosaccharides were the main contributors to tomato composition, with San Marzano tomatoes having abundant monosaccharides, which explains their sweet flavor. This study provides a complete map of the metabolome heterogeneity of tomatoes for future breeding programs.

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 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: This study analyzes the metabolic characteristics of different potato varieties by examining various chemical compounds. Results show that polyphenolic compounds are mainly responsible for the differences between purple-fleshed and red-skinned potatoes, and purple-fleshed potatoes contain a higher amount of hydroxycinnamic acids and anthocyanins, with a lower sugar content.

Summary: Different PCA-producing Pseudomonas spp. strains exhibited varying levels of biocontrol activity against Phytophthora infestans in potato tuber bioassays. The quantities of PCA produced did not correlate with biocontrol activity, suggesting the presence of other genetic determinants potentially involved in controlling the pathogen. Genome mining identified siderophores, cyclic lipopeptides, and non-ribosomal peptide synthase and polyketide synthase hybrid clusters as potential factors in the biocontrol of Phytophthora infestans by phenazine-producing pseudomonads.

Summary: Potato is a major staple crop in the Mediterranean Basin, and its yield can be greatly influenced by the environment and genotype. This study evaluated the yield performance of five potato genotypes over four years and three locations in Sicily using AMMI and GGE analyses. The results showed significant genotype x environment interaction, with Arizona and Generosa identified as the most productive and stable genotypes. The ideal environments varied depending on the productive trait, with Acireale being the preferred location for most traits.

Summary: Grafting experiments on potatoes revealed that tuberisation is controlled by various signals including mobile proteins, mRNAs, miRNAs, and phytohormones. Variations in sucrose concentration in tubers and galactinol levels in leaves were found between different potato cultivars and were influenced by grafting. Leaf growth rate was positively correlated with tuber initiation time.

Summary: Potato cultivars 'Calalo Gaspar' and 'Cruza 148' exhibit resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum infection, activating defense mechanisms such as chitin interactions, cell wall-related genes, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. In contrast, the susceptible cultivar 'Desiree' shows different defense mechanisms and hormone accumulation in response to Rs infection. These findings provide insights into the diverse responses of potato plants to Rs infection.

Summary: This study investigates the variations in lipid digestion profiles among individuals of different ages using in vitro digestion models. The findings suggest that adults have a more comprehensive lipid digestion compared to infants, and infants tend to release shorter chain length and more saturated free fatty acids during digestion. Additionally, the particle sizes in the stomach of the elderly were consistently larger. This study enhances our understanding of how lipids with different degrees of unsaturation undergo digestion in diverse age groups.

Summary: Chitosan-pectin emulsion-filled hydrogel (EFH) was developed to enhance the bioaccessibility of lipophilic bioactive compounds through intestinal delivery. The EFH, prepared without crosslinking agents, demonstrated improved mechanical strength and compactness with higher pectin concentration. It retained the emulsion at pH 2.0 and released it at pH 7.4, resulting in enhanced release of free fatty acids and improved bioaccessibility of curcumin.

Summary: This study investigated the acidification of aroma-enhanced black tea during storage. Analysis of non-volatile substances and organic acids using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and HPLC revealed a decrease in soluble sugars and amino acids, while an increase in organic acids such as oxalic acid, malic acid, and quinic acid. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that the acidification is a result of the decomposition of sugars and amino acids by heating, as well as the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes. Additionally, the study showed that the taste composition of tea infusion is altered, with reduced amino acids, catechins, soluble sugars, and flavonoids. This research provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of black tea.
