This study aimed to investigate the effects of different light qualities on the morphological development, photosynthetic characteristics, stomatal structure, and yield of potato, providing theoretical and practical guidance for optimizing light environments in controlled agricultural systems and enhancing the efficient production of potato microtubers. Six light qualities—white, red, blue, green, far-red, and ultraviolet—were applied to systematically evaluate their effects. The results showed that light quality significantly influenced plant morphological traits and physiological metabolism. Red and blue light demonstrated the most pronounced promotive effects. Under red light, plant height and stem diameter increased by 57.47% and 31.10%, respectively, compared to white light, while single tuber weight increased by 20.09%, despite a 14.96% reduction in tuber number per plant. Blue light significantly enhanced chlorophyll content (by 20.35%) and stomatal density (adaxial stomata increased by 28.85%), leading to a 38.98% increase in tuber number, a 51.79% increase in single tuber weight, and a remarkable 110.37% improvement in total yield per plant, compared to white light. In contrast, green light moderately promoted photosynthesis in lower leaves, but reduced the total yield by 39.90%. Far-red (740 nm) and ultraviolet light (390 nm) severely inhibited plant growth and failed to induce tuber formation. Correlation analysis revealed a highly significant positive relationship between chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal density, and yield per plant (r = 0.96, p < 0.01). This study systematically evaluated the independent effects of single light quality on potato growth and production for the first time, clarifying the regulatory advantages of red and blue light, and providing important theoretical insights for optimizing the light environment with red and blue light to improve potato microtuber yield. Furthermore, this study provides critical data to support future research on the dynamic optimization of light quality ratio.
Potato tubers undergo greening and accumulate steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) upon light exposure, posing potential food safety risks. In this study, six potato cultivars (“Favorita”, “Lucinda”, “Jizhangshu 12”, “Longshu 10”, “Qingshu 9”, and “Purple Potato”) were subjected to six light treatments (dark, UVA, blue, green, red, and white), and peel color, pigment content, SGAs, and the expression of genes related to light signaling, chlorophyll biosynthesis, and SGA biosynthesis was evaluated. Under green light, the contents of α-solanine and α-chaconine were 76.22 and 171.84 mg/kg fresh weight (FW), respectively; by contrast, their levels under blue and white light were approximately 60% higher. These effects may be mediated by the upregulation of HY5 and COP1 expression, which in turn could regulate the biosynthesis of chlorophyll-related genes (CHID, CHLI1) and SGA-related genes (HMGR, SGT1). Yellow-skinned cultivars exhibited pronounced light sensitivity (chlorophyll 18.47–18.52 mg/kg FW; SGAs up to 290.41 mg/kg FW), whereas red- and purple-skinned cultivars delayed greening through anthocyanin-mediated light attenuation. Collectively, these findings provide a framework for postharvest management and breeding, suggesting that reducing blue light while enhancing green light in spectral illumination, together with the development of anthocyanin-enriched cultivars, may serve as effective strategies to extend shelf life, mitigate food safety risks, and reduce postharvest losses.
The Trihelix transcription factor family, characterized by its unique triple-helix structure (helix-loop-helix-loop-helix), plays a significant role in plant growth, development, and responses to various abiotic stresses. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), as a globally important food crop, experiences significant impacts on its growth and yield due to abiotic stresses such as drought, low temperature, and salt stress. Although the functions of Trihelix transcription factors have been extensively studied in various plants, systematic analysis in potatoes remains relatively scarce. This study aims to comprehensively identify the Trihelix gene family in potatoes through bioinformatics methods and analyze their expression patterns under abiotic stresses to reveal the potential functions of this gene family in potato growth, development, and stress responses. Through genome database searches and BLAST comparisons, 35 StTrihelix genes were identified in potatoes, and phylogenetic, gene structure, functional motif, and cis-acting element analyses were conducted. The expression patterns of these genes in different tissues and under low-temperature and drought stresses were analyzed using qRT-PCR technology. Additionally, the nuclear localization of StTrihelix30 was verified through subcellular localization experiments. The results indicate that the 35 StTrihelix genes are unevenly distributed across 12 chromosomes and can be classified into five subfamilies: GT-1, GT-2, GTγ, SH4, and SIP1. Gene structure and functional motif analyses revealed high conservation within the same subfamily. Cis-acting element analysis showed that these genes are closely related to hormone responses, stress responses, and growth and development processes. Tissue expression analysis showed that StTrihelix4 is highly expressed in stamens, while StTrihelix13 is highly expressed in roots. qRT-PCR results indicated that most StTrihelix genes are significantly upregulated under low-temperature and drought stresses. This study systematically identified the Trihelix gene family in potatoes and revealed its important role in abiotic stress responses. It provides new insights into the functions of the Trihelix transcription factor family in potato growth, development, and stress adaptation, offering theoretical references for stress-resistant potato breeding.
Enzymatic browning markedly reduces the processing quality and economic value of potatoes. This study evaluated the effects of copper sulfate (CuSO4) on potato growth, yield, and enzymatic browning. Quantitative analysis of browning-related enzymes, organic acids, free amino acids, and the browning index (BI) was conducted using high-performance liquid chromatography and non-contact colorimetric technology. Moderate Cu2+ (0.078–0.157 mmol·L−1) supply enhanced photosynthetic capacity, biomass, and starch accumulation, whereas excessive Cu induced oxidative stress, increased PPO activity, phenolic accumulation, and BI. Metabolic profiling revealed that Cu2+ activates PPO via its copper-binding sites and reprograms amino acid and organic acid metabolism—upregulating arginine and proline while downregulating isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine, citrate, and chlorogenic acid, all strongly correlated with BI. These findings highlight the dual role of copper in yield formation and enzymatic browning, introducing metabolic reprogramming as a potential mechanism for optimizing Cu fertilization to balance productivity and postharvest quality.

In China, potato is a kind of foreign crop lacking germplasm resource, especially the varieties grown in arid and semi-arid areas. Therefore, it is an effective way to rich the germplasm resource by introducing potatoes abroad. In this study, the Shannon-Wiener's diversity index and comprehensive score (F-value) were used to investigate the genetic diversity of 119 intro-duced potato clones from Peru International Potato Center about 10 phenotypic traits (emergence rate, plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, growth period, tuber number per plant, yield per plant, commodity rate, dry matter content and tuber length-width ratio). The genetic diversity of growth period was the most abundant among these phenotypic traits in 119 potato clones. Stem diameter, leaf area, growth period, tuber number per plant, yield per plant, commodity rate, dry matter content and tuber length-width ratio had significant effects on comprehensive value of phenotypic traits, and could be used to evaluate the potato germplasm resources on the drought farming. The F-value was significantly correlated with the economic characters (yield per plant, commodity rate and dry matter content), which can be used as the main evaluation index of potato germplasm resources. CIP393228.67 and CIP385561.124 in arid area and CIP304350.95, CIP392797.22, and CIP388615.22 in semi-arid area showed high and stable yield characteristics. These 119 introduced potato clones are rich in genetic diversity with good comprehensive evaluation, they could effectively complement potato germplasm resources and be beneficial to potato breeding in China.

The canopy-air temperature difference can reflect the physiological adaptability of plants under drought stress. In this study, drought tolerant varieties Jizhangshu 8 and Longshu 10, drought sensitive varieties Atlantic and Shepody, and ten potato clones with different drought tolerance levels from Peru International Potato Center were used to measure plant phenotypic traits (plant height, leaf area, leaf fresh weight, normalized difference vegetation index), photosynthetic indexes (photosynthetic rate, stomatal conduc-tance, transpiration rate, chlorophyll content) and the canopy-air temperature difference, and evaluated the drought tolerance under semi-arid and semi-humid environments. The canopy-air temperature difference, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance were most sensitive to drought stress. The canopy-air temperature difference was significantly different among different potato varieties (clones) under semi-arid and semi-humid environments. The drought tolerance coefficient of canopy-air temperature difference showed significantly positive correlations with drought tolerance coefficients of plant phenotypic characters and photosynthetic in-dexes. The canopy-air temperature difference is an effective indicator to evaluate potato drought tolerance by using infrared ther-mometers, which could provide a theoretical basis for the research of potato drought tolerance breeding.

[Objective] French fries are the main important potato processing products.The compositions of potato tuber are effected by storage environments after harvest.The change of the tuber compositions affects the features of physio-chemical characteristics of in tubers resulted in potato processing colour and texture.The French fry quality of potato should be analyzed and classified according to the commercially processing criteria.Firstly,screening of French fries processing potato lines according to agronomic traits in fields.Then,analyzing potato tuber processing colour and texture qualities from varieties and advanced lines according to current consumption habits and market demand.The above standards are important required for French fry varieties screening purpose.[Method] Selection at an early breeding stage,characteristics with agronomic traits such as yield,tuber size,tuber shape,tuber colour,eye depth,tuber length,tuber width,ratio of tuber length to width,diseases resistance and commodity rate were evaluated based on three different locations in three years.Fourteen potato varieties and lines were selected for French fry qualities test after storage for 0,60,and 120 days at 4 ℃ and 25 ℃,respectively.The contents of dry matter,starch,total glycoalkaloid,sucrose,reducing sugars,free amino acids,chlorogenic acid,ascorbic acid,citric acid were measured.In addition,the French fry colour change,the tuber and French fry hardness were determined and analyzed.A correlation analysis was conducted to determine the correlation coefficient between the content of starch and the hardness.[Result] In regard to tuber shape,the processing standard for French fry is long to long-oval.A longaxis to transverse-axis ratio greater than 1.5∶1 is acceptable.The ratios refer to variety characteristics as a mean value,not to natural variations in shape which may occur within a variety.Tubers should be uniform and not excessively disfigured by secondary growth,enfolded ends or growth cracks.The values of ΔE reflected the change of French fry colour under different storage environments.The correlation analysis indicated that the changes of colour were caused mainly by fructose,glucose,and secondly by chlorogenic acid.The content of ascorbic acid was correlated only with brightness colour parameter,L value.The content of fructose,glucose,sucrose,chlorogenic acid had a positive significant correlation with a and b values.There was a positive correlation between hardness and tuber starch content in fresh tuber and French fry.The decrease of hardness was caused mainly by the water loss and starch degradation.[Conclusion] The present results indicated that after field agronomic traits screening,colour and texture evaluation under different storage environments,the varieties Russet Burbank,Shepody and lines 0719-32,0716-39 are the better French fry processing potato varieties and lines.
