Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides have been an important class in managing potato early blight caused by Alternaria solani and brown spot caused by A. alternata. Because of the single-site mode of action character of QoI fungicides, which are relied on for management of
Enzymatic browning is a major quality issue in fruit and vegetable processing and can be counteracted by different natural inhibitors. Often, model systems containing a single polyphenol oxidase (PPO) are used to screen for new inhibitors. To investigate the impact of the source of PPO on the
An organic-phase biosensor based on paraffin/graphite modified with sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) tissue as the source of peroxidase was developed and used for determining hydroquinone in cosmetic creams. This enzyme in the presence of hydrogen peroxide catalyses the oxidation of
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated MLS-26-JM13-11T, was isolated from potato stems, collected in Guyuan County, Hebei Province, China. Strain MLS-26-JM13-11T could grow at 10-39 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.2) and in the presence of 0-4.0 %
A bacterial strain named BSTT44(T) was isolated in the course of a study of endophytic bacteria occurring in stems and roots of potato growing in a soil from Salamanca, Spain. The 16S rRNA gene sequence had 99.7% identity with respect to that of its closest relative, Pseudomonas psychrophila E-3T,
The effect of sodium hydrogen sulfite (S), used as antibrowning agent, on the phenolic profile of potato extracts was investigated. This extract was compared to one obtained in the presence of ascorbic acid (A). In the presence of A, two major compounds were obtained, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA)
A novel bacterial strain, S40T, with strong antifungal activity was isolated from the rhizosphere of green potato collected from Zealand, Denmark. Polyphasic analysis with a combined phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic approach was used to characterize S40T. Phylogenetic
In the course of studying the composition of the microbial community in the phyllosphere of potato plants, a Gram-positive bacterium, strain K 70/01(T), was isolated. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, it was shown that the investigated isolate represents a novel species in the genus
Potato early blight (Alternaria solani) is a yield-limiting disease and control depends primarily on multiple fungicide applications. Azoxystrobin, registered in the United States in 1999, initially provided outstanding early blight control. Within 3 years, approximately 80% of the total potato
Effects of cytokinins were studied on rotenone-sensitive NADH dehydrogenase in mitochondria from fresh potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum), in consideration of the operation of external and rotenone-insensitive internal NADH dehydrogenases that has not been fully accounted for in previous studies. In
A mutation of the psbA gene was identified in photoautotrophic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv Superior x U.S. Department of Agriculture line 66-142) cells selected for resistance to 6-chloro-N-ethyl-N'-(1-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (atrazine). Photoaffinity labeling with
Early blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) caused by Alternaria solani Sorauer is a frequent concern for potato growers in Canada. Management of early blight has relied on foliar fungicides that often include quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides such as azoxystrobin. In recent years,
The dependence of electron flux through quinone-reducing and quinol-oxidizing pathways on the redox state of the ubiquinone (Q) pool was investigated in plant mitochondria isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum cv. Bintje, fresh tissue and callus), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and Arum italicum.
A complete ferredoxin (Fd) cDNA clone was isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv Desiree) leaves. By molecular and immunoblot analysis, the gene was identified as the leaf-specific Fd isoform I. Transgenic potato plants were constructed by introducing the homologous potato fed 1 cDNA clone as
Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI; also known as strobilurin) fungicides sometimes are applied to soybean (Glycine max) fields to help manage frogeye leaf spot of soybean (caused by Cercospora sojina) in the United States. In August 2010, soybean leaflets exhibiting severe frogeye leaf spot symptoms
