In order to provide reference for rational fertilization and green disease prevention and control in flue-cured tobacco, the effects of boron and silicon nutrient elements on the diseases prevention and control and the physiological mechanism were discussed. The field experiment was conducted to study the effects of different boron and silicon application levels on the incidence of potato virus Y (PVY) disease and defense enzyme activity of flue-cured tobacco named ‘Yunyan 100’. The results showed that the application of boron and silicon reduced the incidence and disease index of PVY in flue-cured tobacco. Compared with the treatment of spraying water (CK), the incidence and disease index of PVY under 9.0 kg/hm² boron+ 6.0 kg/hm² silicon treatment decreased by 32.5% and 22%, respectively. Meanwhile, reasonable application of boron and silicon fertilizer significantly improved the defense enzymes activities of tobacco leaves, and the phenylalanine degradation enzyme activity and proline content were significantly increased by 121.4%-426.5% and 30.0%-74.3%, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the incidence of PVY was significantly negatively correlated with proline content, while phenylalanine degradation enzyme activity was significantly positively correlated with proline content. The combined application of 9.0 kg/hm² boron+ 6.0 kg/hm² silicon could reduce the occurrence of diseases and induce the increase of defense enzyme activity.

【Objective】Seeking key indicators and methods for accurately characterize drought tolerance in sweet potato, and screening and identifying drought-tolerant sweet potato germplasm resources, to provide effective methods for the rapid and accurate identification of drought-tolerant sweet potato germplasm resources, and to provide material and theoretical basis for selection and breeding of high quality and drought-tolerant sweet potato varieties. 【Method】Fifty-four sweet potato germplasm resources were used as materials for drought stress experiments. By using two treatments including drought stress and control, and combining with drought pool cultivation experiment and field test, the effects of drought stress on the growth and development, physiological and biochemical characteristics, antioxidant metabolism, photosynthetic characteristics and yield of different sweet potato germplasm resources were investigated, the response characteristics of different sweet potato germplasm resources to drought were analyzed, and the effective indicators for drought tolerance evaluation in sweet potato were selected. The drought tolerance evaluation was preformed using principal component analysis, correlation analysis, direct evaluation of drought resistance coefficient, and calculation of comprehensive drought tolerance measurement value (D value) based on membership function, and the drought-tolerant sweet potato germplasm resources were screened and identified.【Result】The results obtained from the drought pool cultivation experiment showed the influences of drought treatment on the main stem length, aboveground fresh weight, underground dry weight and fresh weight of storage root were extremely significant (P<0.01), and eight drought-tolerant germplasm resources were screened based on cluster analysis of D values. In the field test, the main stem length, stem diameter, number of branches, leaf area index, leaf relative water content, total chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, intercellular carbon dioxide concentration, proline (Pro), malondialdehyde (MAD), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) showed highly significant differences (P<0.01) under drought stress when compared with control. Through the establishment of regression models, it could be initially determined that eight indicators including the leaf area index, root tip, leaf POD, leaf APX, storage root Pro, storage root SOD, storage root CAT, and yield could be used as indicators for drought tolerance identification in sweet potato. XN18111-1, 20XN18-1, XN1834-11 and XN17104-46 were classified as drought-tolerant germplasm resources according to grading of drought resistance coefficient based on yield. The D values of XN18111-1, 20XN18-1 and XN1862-61 were over 0.6 and showed high drought tolerance based on comprehensive drought tolerance evaluation. 【Conclusion】Based on results of comprehensive drought tolerance evaluation in drought pool cultivation experiment, as well as the comprehensive drought tolerance evaluation and yield evaluation in field test, XN18111-1 and 20XN18-1 were finally identified as drought-tolerant germplasm resources, which can be used as drought-tolerant breeding materials or ideal resource materials for study on drought-tolerance mechanism in sweet potato.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenotypic and main quality changes of nine yellow-fleshed sweetpotato (YFSP) varieties at different development stages, and to provide a theoretical basis for the breeding of fresh sweetpotato. Nine winter YFSP varieties were used as materials. The diameter, length, weight, flesh color, dry rate, starch, and soluble sugar content of sweetpotato at five development stages were measured and analyzed. The results showed that the diameter, length, weight and dry rate of single potato increased continuously during the development process. The growth rate of sweetpotato length of ‘Guangshu 79’ was the fastest at 45-105 d, and that of ‘Anna’ was the fastest at 135-165 d. The highest rate of increase in diameter and single sweetpotato weight was ‘Mashali’. The dry matter rate of ‘Guangshu 79’ increased the fastest. The soluble sugar content showed a downward trend during development, and ‘Guangshu 79’ showed the fastest decline. With the increase of starch content, ‘Guangshu 79’ increased rapidly in the early growth period of 45-105d, and ‘Anna’ increased fastest in 135-165d. The study found that the length, diameter, single root weight, dry rate and total starch content of YFSP tubers increased gradually with the growth and development period, and the content of soluble sugar decreased gradually. The rapid development and growth periods of different varieties of sweet potato were different.

To evaluate the field control effects of several chemical control agents on potato late blight in Matou Town of Tancheng County, Linyi City, Shandong Province, 687.5 g/L fluopyram-penoxifen wettable powder, 72% mancozeb-manganese zinc, 42.8% fluopyram-iprovalent wettable powder, and 10 billion/g Bacillus subtilis biological preparation were selected, and a control group and treatment groups were set up, and the incidence index, control effect, and yield were monitored. The results showed that the 687.5 g/L fluopyram-penoxifen wettable powder had a significant control effect on the disease. In 2020, the incidence index was 3.21, 5.13, and 6.02 after three applications of the treatment, with an average control effect of over 80% and a maximum of 85.14%, and an increase in yield of 27.9%. In 2021, the incidence index was 2.95, 4.75, and 5.45 after three applications of the treatment, with an average control effect of over 84% and an increase in yield of 26.0%. The 42.8% fluopyram-iprovalent wettable powder had a slightly lower control effect but was better than other pesticides. The importance of selecting control agents based on regional specific conditions was emphasized, and fluopyram-penoxifen wettable powder was recommended as the preferred control agent for late blight of potato in the study area. The research results provide scientific control guidelines for farmers.

In order to explore the effects of cultivation density and nitrogen fertilizer application on potato yield and quality in high-altitude areas, a two factor split plot experimental design was adopted. Three density levels (41700, 50000, 62500 plant/hm², represented as D₁, D₂, D₃ respectively) and four nitrogen application levels (0, 110, 220, 330 kg/hm², represented as N₀, N₁, N₂, and N₃ respectively) were set up to analyze different densities and the effect of nitrogen fertilizer treatment combination on the plant traits, yield, and quality of the late maturing potato variety ‘Zangnongshu 1’, and explore the optimal fertilizer density configuration for this variety. The results showed that density and nitrogen fertilizer had a significant impact on the traits, yield, and quality of potato plants, and the yield and quality were significantly affected by the interaction between density and nitrogen fertilizer. The potato yield and commercial potato yield under low density of 41700 plants/hm² increased with the increase of nitrogen application. The dry matter content, starch content, and protein content showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase of nitrogen application. The potato yield and commercial potato yield under high density of 50000 plants and high density of 62500 plants/hm² increased and then decreased with the increase of nitrogen application, while the dry matter content, starch content, and protein content showed an upward trend. The highest potato yield under D₂N₂ treatment was 47884 kg/hm², with a commercial potato yield of 56.03%, and good performance in plant and quality traits. Taking into account plant, yield, and quality traits, based on TOPSIS analysis results, it is more suitable to plant potatoes in Lhasa and its surrounding areas with a density of 50000 plants/hm² and a nitrogen application rate of 220 kg/hm².

In order to explore a new intercropping model that suitable for the flatland and shallow hill in Chongqing and similar ecological areas, increase the yield and economic benefits of crops, and provide reference for research on crop intercropping models, an intercropping experiment with fresh maize, sweet potato, and soybean was conducted. In this experiment, three different row ratios of maize-sweet potato-soybean intercropping models were used, with one fresh waxy maize variety, three fresh sweet potato varieties, and one fresh soybean variety as materials. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the yield components of fresh waxy maize in different row ratio intercropping models, but there was a significant difference in the average fresh ear weight per plant and yield. There were no significant differences in the number of branches, effective pod number per plant, and fresh pod yield of fresh soybean in different row ratio intercropping models. In the intercropping system, sweet potatoes in different row ratio intercropping were affected by the shading of maize, resulting in varying degrees of reduction in storage root yield. The different row ratio intercropping models had inconsistent effects on the number of storage root per plant and commodity rate of different sweet potato varieties. Increasing the intercropping planting density of fresh sweet potato and waxy maize properly is beneficial for achieving high yields. Using the row ratio model of 2:2:3, and intercropping fresh waxy maize and fresh soybean with sweet potato variety ‘Pushu32’ can achieve the highest total economic benefits.

The study aims to solve the lack of high starch processing potato varieties with high yield and good quality in Hulunbuir area. In 2022 to 2023, using ‘Weilasi’ as the control, the phenophase and tuber traits of 8 potato varieties were investigated, and the performance and stability of starch content, tuber yield and starch yield were identified and evaluated. Among the 9 cultivars, the starch content of ‘Zhong Shu 49’ and ‘Long Shu 20’ ranked first and second respectively, and the average values of the two years was 18.27 and 18.10 respectively, which were higher than those of the control, but the difference was not significant. ‘Long Shu 20’and ‘Zhong Shu 28’ had high tuber yield of 55074 kg/hm² and 54607 kg/hm² respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the control, and the stability was good. The highest tuber starch yield of ‘Long Shu 20’ was 9863 kg/hm², which was significantly higher than that of the control and other cultivars, and the performance was stable. ‘Long Shu 20’ had the highest starch yield and stable performance among the nine cultivars, which was suitable for demonstration and promotion as a starch processing variety in this region.

The input-output data of potato in S Province from 2011 to 2022 were selected, and the data envelop analysis method was used to explore their production benefits and efficiency. The results showed that the overall cost of potato production in the study area had been increasing year by year, with significant increases in cost elements such as labor, seed, fertilizer, and land transfer; The profit margin fluctuates greatly, indicating a large potential for improvement in production efficiency and output value; Its overall efficiency fluctuates, and there was significant room for improvement in production efficiency; The overall trend of return to scale coefficient was on the rise, and most of them were increasing returns to scale, indicating the need for moderate development of potato scale operations.

Sweet potato is an important food crop and cash crop in China, and it has played an important role in ensuring China’s food security. Plant growth regulators not only increase crop yield, but also enhance stress resistance and improve quality, playing an important role in crop production. At present, there are relatively few researches on the application of plant growth regulators in sweet potato. To explore the effects of different plant growth regulators on the agronomic traits of sweet potato seedlings, three plant growth regulators, 6-benzylaminopurine, gibberellin and naphthalene acetic acid, were selected in this study, and their effects on sweet potato seedlings were studied by the method of bottom application. The results showed that the three plant growth regulators significantly promoted the rooting of sweet potato, and significantly promoted the root length and fresh weight of sweet potato. The research results would provide theoretical basis and technical support for further optimization of sweet potato cultivation management, help to improve sweet potato yield and quality, and promote the sustainable development of sweet potato industry.

Sweetpotato root-function spatial division (RFSD) technology is a novel cultivation technique which separates nutrient-absorbing roots from storage roots in space and function. This technology allows for the observation of tuber development without affecting plant growth and enables the study of photosynthetic transport efficiency within the same genetic background. RFSD is a key technique for studying the source-sink relationship in sweetpotato and cultivating overhead-sweetpotato. To further explore the application of RFSD technology in the study of source-sink relationships in sweetpotato, we specifically carried out this review. The paper summarizes the impact of "source", "flow", and "sink" on sweetpotato yield, reveals the development process of sweetpotato RFSD technology, analyzes the principles, evolution, characteristics, and advantages of various RFSD technologies currently developed, and discusses the application of root system functional separation technology in the study of source-sink relationship in sweetpotato and overhead-sweetpotato. Here we propose that RFSD technology can serve as a crucial tool for studying the interactions of "source", "flow", and "sink" in sweetpotato, and be used to investigate source-sink relationship and ideotype within the same genetic background. It is necessary to improve and enhance the RFSD, so as to make it possible to achieve stable storage root in the air under the facility conditions. Further research and application of RFSD technology can provide theoretical and technical references for the breeding of new sweetpotato varieties, especially high photosynthetic efficiency, short-vine, and high-yielding cultivars. It can also offer technical support for facility cultivation and precise quality control.

Based on the current breeding status of potatoes, the aspects that need further improvement, and corresponding development strategies and suggestions were summarized and analyzed. At present, potato breeding was mainly based on its asexual reproduction characteristics, which had the advantages of simplicity, effectiveness, and ensuring the purity of potato seeds. Meanwhile, it was necessary to do a good job in potato seed potato detoxification, pest control, and field management. In the breeding process, it was necessary to further improve the collection of potato variety resources, the production capacity of seed potatoes, the production technology of seed potatoes, the quality of virus-free seed potatoes, and the processing capacity of potato products. Development strategies for potato breeding work were proposed, including establishing a good breeding environment, scientifically introducing potato varieties, innovating potato breeding methods, and innovating production equipment and technology, to provide references for promoting the standardized and rational development of the potato industry.

This research aimed to isolate and identify potato common scab pathogens in soil, and clarify the pathogenic genes and pathogenicity. It is of great significance to carry out breeding and comprehensive prevention and control of scab disease. The collected diseased tubers were identified by tissue separation and coating dilution, and the phylogenetic tree was constructed by 16S rDNA measurement. The pathogenic genes were identified by PCR, and the pathogenicity was tested by radish seedling method, small potato chip method and pot inoculation. Four species of pathogenic Streptomyces were isolated and identified as Streptomyces scabies, Streptomyces thermocarboxydus, Streptomyces rubrogriseus and Streptomyces kanamyceticus. All strains were inoculated with ‘Xisen 3’ for pathogenicity test. The test results showed that four Streptomyces could cause tuber disease, and the pathogenic gene combination was txtAB+/tomA+/nec1+; in this study, a total of 4 pathogenic Streptomyces species were identified. Streptomyces thermocarboxydus, Streptomyces rubrogriseus and Streptomyces kanamyceticus were new pathogens of potato common scab.

Sweetpotato is an important food, fodder and industrial raw material crop in the world. With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, transcriptome sequencing technology has been widely used in sweetpotato studies. To better carry out research on functional gene mining and important trait regulation mechanisms analyzing in sweetpotato using transcriptomics techniques in the future, this study analyzed the profile of sweetpotato transcriptome data shared by research institutions in various countries, and summarized the applications and achievements of transcriptome sequencing technology in researches on sweetpotato over recent years, from the aspects of response to adversity stress, tuberous root development and starch synthesis. It was pointed out that there were still deficiencies in experimental design, data mining, and practicality of research results in current sweetpotato transcriptome studies. It was proposed that in further studies, transcriptomics technologies should be integrated with other omics technologies and genetic analysis methods to promote the continuous deepening of sweetpotato research.

The nutritional value, processing technology and product development of potato residue were summarized and analyzed, the relationship between the development and utilization of potato residue and environmental protection was expounded, and the development prospect of potato residue and the aspects to be improved were discussed, so as to provide references for realizing efficient utilization of potato residue resources, green sustainable development and environmental protection. Potato residue is rich in nutrients such as fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals, making it a valuable resource for various industries. By utilizing advanced processing technologies, potato residue can be converted into high-value products such as feed, biofuels, and biodegradable plastics. These products not only reduce waste and relieve environmental pollution but also contribute to the development of a circular economy. However, there are still challenges to overcome in the efficient utilization of potato residue.,including technical limitations, market constraints, and security. By adopting innovative technologies and strategies, potato residue can be transformed a waste product into a valuable resource, achieving the utilization of agricultural waste resources and environmental protection.

The paper aimed to explore the change characteristics of optimum sowing date and cultivar heat resistance of potato with climate change in North Shanxi based on DSSAT crop, and the yield increase effect of the optimum sowing date or optimum variety was quantitatively analyzed. The simulation experiment was designed with 40 management inputs of sowing date and 7 temperature sensitivity coefficients (TC) under baseline year and future climate change scenarios in Yunzhou of Datong City. The results showed that, in the future, the rising temperature and increase of CO₂ concentration would advance the optimum sowing date of potato, and the change of optimum sowing date was mainly due to the rising temperature. Among them, the optimal sowing date would advance 4 days and 5 days at 450 μmol/mol CO₂ with 1.5℃ warming and 550 μmol/mol CO₂ with 2.0℃ warming, respectively. Adopting the management of optimum sowing date could mitigate climatic negative effects and was in varying degrees of yield increasing effect under each climate change scenario. Among them, the potato yield would increase 10.2% and 20.7% respectively under 450 μmol/mol CO₂ with 1.5℃ warming and 550 μmol/mol CO₂ with 2.0℃ warming. Production at this time would increase the yield by 12.3% and 20.8%, respectively, over the base year. If changing the varieties with high temperature sensitivity, the heat resistance and yield could increase appropriately, but the increase was limited. Therefore, in the future, early sowing date or cultivation of new varieties with high temperature sensitivity can be adopted in northern Shanxi to reduce the adverse impact of future climate change and ensure stable and high yield of potato.

In order to screen and identify biocontrol fungi capable of phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen fixation in sweet potato stem nematodes, soil samples from the rhizosphere of sweet potato stem nematodes in their habitat was collected. Six bacterial strains, including HC-6 and GS3-X4, were isolated using LB solid medium. Through initial screening, rescreening, and performance testing, a strain with good contact killing effect against nematode disease, strong colonization ability, and excellent phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen fixation abilities was selected from six strains, which was GS4-S2. Based on physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rDNA sequence analysis, the strain was identified as BacillusVelezensis, and named HM-6. This strain could be used as a material for the development of microbial fertilizers for the prevention and control of sweet potato stem nematode disease, which was of great significance for the prevention and control of nematode diseases and the utilization of microbial fertilizers.

Potato Cyst Nematodes (PCNs) are a significant threat to potato production, having caused substantial damage in many countries. Predicting the future distribution of PCN species is crucial to implementing effective biosecurity strategies, especially given the impact of climate change on pest species invasion and distribution. Machine-Learning (ML), specifically ensemble models, has emerged as a powerful tool in predicting species distributions due to its ability to learn and make predictions based on complex data sets. Thus, this research utilised advanced machine learning techniques to predict the distribution of PCN species under climate change conditions, providing the initial element for invasion risk assessment. We first used Global Climate Models to generate homogeneous climate predictors to mitigate the variation among predictors. Then, five machine learning models were employed to build two groups of ensembles, single-algorithm ensembles (ESA) and multi-algorithm ensembles (EMA), and compared their performances. In this research, the EMA did not always perform better than the ESA, and the ESA of Artificial Neural Network gave the highest performance while being cost-effective. Prediction results indicated that the distribution range of PCNs would shift northward with a decrease in tropical zones and an increase in northern latitudes. However, the total area of suitable regions will not change significantly, occupying 16-20% of the total land surface (18% under current conditions). This research alerts policymakers and practitioners to the risk of PCNs’ incursion into new regions. Additionally, this ML process offers the capability to track changes in the distribution of various species and provides scientifically grounded evidence for formulating long-term biosecurity plans for their control. 

Potassium is one of the essential mineral nutrients for potato growth and development, and is crucial for potato growth and tuber formation. The low efficiency of potassium absorption and utilization is one of the important limiting factors in potato production in China, and screening the potato genotypes with high potassium efficiency is the best way to enhance the potassium utilization and deal with low potassium stress in potato. In this paper, the methods and indexes for screening of high potassium efficiency varieties of various crops in China and abroad were summarized from four aspects: the definition and assessment of potassium efficiency, the identification and evaluation of crop genotypes with high potassium efficiency, the physiological basis of high potassium absorption and the physiological basis of high potassium utilization. Combining with the characteristics of potato potassium requirement, the feasible methods and influencing factors for screening potato genotypes with high potassium efficiency were put forward, and the future research direction for improving potato potassium efficiency was prospected so as to provide a reference for the high yield and high potassium utilization of potato.

Potato is an important food crop and is very sensitive to high temperature. In order to study the effects of high temperature stress on the physiological characteristics and yield of potato leaves, ‘Qingshu 9’was used as the experimental material, and the leaf area, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic fluorescence characteristics and yield of potato were systematically studied using randomized block design. The results showed that the leaf area index and leaf SPAD value decreased significantly under high temperature stress. The leaf area indexes of T₁ treatment were decreased by 11%-34% compared with T₂ treatment, and they were decreased by 34%-68% compared with T₃ treatment. The SPAD value of T₂ treatment was decreased by 2.43% compared with T₃ treatment. Secondly, the photosynthetic fluorescence and yield also decreased, and the recovery was relatively slow, which inhibited the production of Pn and the absorption and transformation of light energy. The reactive oxygen species increased, and the leaves were dehydrated and wilted to cause death, which would affect the whole growth process of potato, resulting in the final reduction of yield. Therefore, high temperature will lead to the change of functional leaves, which will reduce the photosynthetic performance of potato, gradually shorten the active period, disorder the physiological metabolic activity, and significantly reduce the yield.

In order to explore the overwintering plug seedlings of leaf-vegetable sweet potato in North China, 4 stem sizes (D1, D2, D3, D4 for 4, 6, 8, 10 cm) and 5 plug sizes (32, 50, 72, 105, 128 holes) were set to match 14 treatments, to study the effects of different combinations on seedling survival rate, growth (stem diameter, plant height, etc.) and fresh weight, etc. The results indicated that under the same plug, with the increase of stem segment, the survival rate of seedlings, the number of leaves, stem diameter of the base region and plant height of seedlings showed an increasing trend, and then the fresh weight of the aboveground part and the whole plant also increased, and the highest value was under the treatment of D4. Under the same stem segment, as the number of holes in the plug increased, the number of leaves, stem diameter of the base region, plant height, fresh weight above the ground and fresh weight of the whole plant decreased, due to the effect of the plug size on the underground part, with the treatment of 32 holes being the highest. Under different stem segments and plug sizes, the growth of D4-32 treatment was the best. In mid-March, for the fresh weight of the aboveground part, the treatment of D2-72 achieved the same effect as the treatment of D4-32(no significant difference between the two treatments), with the number of leaves, stem diameter of the base region, plant height and other indexs of seedlings meeting the transplanting conditions; for the fresh weight of the whole plant, the treatment of D2-105 treatment (10.21 g) achieved the same effect as the treatment of D4-32, which could save 228.1% of the seedling area. According to its weight, in mid-January, the fresh weight of the aboveground part and the whole plant under the treatment of D3-72 was close to the level of the above two treatments, which could save 125.0% of the seedling area. Considering the growth and economic benefits of seedlings, D2-105 is recommended when transplanted in mid-March, that is, the combination of stem segment with 2 axillary buds and 105-hole plug. If there is condition for transplanting in mid-January, D3-72 is recommended, that is, the combination of stem segment with 3 axillary buds and 72-hole plug.

【Objective】 Jasmonic acid (JA) is one of key regulatory hormones during potato tuber development. Study on JA regulating tuber development mechanism would provide an important theoretical basis for tuber yield and quality formation.【Method】 In this study, potato stolons cultured in vitro were exogenously applied with JA (0, 0.5, 5, 50 μmol·L^-1) to analyze the phenotype, tissue microstructure, carbohydrate accumulation and proteome change of tubers.【Result】 With the increase of JA concentration, the tuber number formed per stolon, tuber diameter, fresh and dry weight, cell area of perimedullary zone, starch and soluble sugar content were gradually increased at 0.5 and 5 μmol·L^-1 JA (P<0.05), whereas the tuber diameter, fresh and dry weight, starch content were significantly decreased at 50 μmol·L^-1 JA (P<0.05). Lipoxygenase activity was gradually decreased with JA concentration increasing (P<0.05). Thirty-five differentially abundant proteins (P<0.05 and fold change≥2.5) closely related to tuber development regulating by JA were identified by 2-DE and MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS. They were mainly involved in bioenergy and metabolism (28.6%), cell defense and rescue (28.6%), protein biogenesis and storage (11.4%), signaling (8.6%), transcription (8.6%), unknown (8.6%) and miscellaneous (5.6%). The differential expression patterns of these proteins were clustered into three categories by hierarchical clustering analysis. Cluster 1 included 17 proteins that down-regulated at 0.5 μmol·L^-1 JA and up-regulated at 5 μmol·L^-1 JA, which mainly involved in bioenergy and metabolism, protein biogenesis and storage, signaling and transcription. Cluster 2 included 10 proteins that gradually up-regulated with JA concentration increasing, which were mainly involved in cell defense and rescue, bioenergy and metabolism, transcription. Cluster 3 included 8 proteins that down-regulated after JA treatments, which were mainly involved in bioenergy and metabolism, cell defense and rescue, protein biogenesis and storage. 【Conclusion】 Low JA concentration (0.5, 5 μmol·L^-1) might promote tuber morphogenesis by inducing cell enlargement in tuber perimedullary zone, intracellular sucrose and polysaccharide accumulation, and cell defense ability, whereas high JA concentration (50 μmol·L^-1) showed inhibitory effects.

The paper aims to investigate the effects of potato onion on tomato fruit quality and soil nutrients. Using ‘Dongnong 708’ tomato as the experimental material, a pot experiment was conducted, with two treatments of monoculture tomato and potato onion associated tomato. Rhizosphere soil samples at 20, 30, 40 and 100 days after sowing were collected, and the quality of the first and second ear fruits of tomatoes after fruit ripening was analyzed. The results showed that the content of vitamin C, soluble sugar, sugar acid ratio, soluble protein, and lycopene in the accompanying tomato fruits of potato onions was significantly higher than that of monoculture tomatoes. The titratable acid content of tomato fruits was significantly lower than that of monoculture tomatoes, and the nutritional quality of the first ear fruit was better than that of the second ear fruit, while the taste quality of the second ear fruit was also better than that of the first ear fruit. The pH, EC, available phosphorus, available potassium, acid hydrolyzed phosphorus, acid hydrolyzed nitrogen, and organic matter concentration in the rhizosphere soil of tomato associated with potato onion were significantly higher than those of monoculture treatment, while the content of nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen was significantly lower than that of monoculture treatment. In summary, potato onions can increase the activity of soil nutrients, promote nutrient absorption by tomatoes, providing sufficient nutrient foundation for tomato growth, and thus improve tomato quality.

To clarify the effect of replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers on soil and potato, explore the impact on soil nutrient content, soil enzyme activity and quality of potato, and propose a suitable organic substitution ratio, so as to provide scientific basis for the promotion of replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers. In Xiji County, Guyuan City of Ningxia in 2022, five treatments, CK (single fertilizer), T₁ (organic alternative fertilizer 20%), T₂ (organic alternative chemical fertilizer 40%), T₃ (organic alternative chemical fertilizer 60%) and T₄ (single application of organic fertilizer), were set up to analyze the relationship between soil nutrient content, soil enzyme activity and quality of potato using the ‘Qingshu 9’ potato variety as the test material. The results showed that (1) compared with CK and T₄, the contents of alkaline-hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium of other treatments were increased to varying degrees, and the effect of increasing the content of available potassium was the most significant, increasing by 13.86%-37.74% and 2.55%-42.10%, respectively. (2) The soil enzyme activity of soil depth of 0-20 cm was slightly higher than that of 20-40 cm, and compared with CK and T₄, the soil enzyme activity of organic fertilizer of other treatments was improved, and the index of alkaline phosphatase activity was the highest, compared with CK, 0-20 and 20-40 cm increased by 3.74%-56.11%, 2.02%-55.90%, respectively; compared with T₄ treatment, it increased by 7.57%-64.94% and 8.56%-50.57%. (3) Compared with CK and T₄ treatment, organic fertilizer replacing partial chemical fertilizer treatments improved the quality content of potato tubers. (4) Correlation analysis showed that soil enzyme activity was positively correlated with soil nutrient content, and the increase of soil nutrient content promoted the improvement of enzyme activity. The stepwise linear regression equations of soil nutrient content, enzyme activity and potato quality showed that alkaline hydrolyzable nitrogen, urease, alkaline phosphatase and 20-40 cm catalase activities could be explained by the correlation with potato quality. The replacement of partial chemical fertilizers by organic fertilizer could increase soil nutrient content, enhance soil enzyme activity and improve potato quality, among which the replacement of 40% chemical fertilizer by organic fertilizer had the most significant effect.

【Objective】 The selection of low glycemic index potato varieties is not only essential for controlling blood glucose, reducing obesity, and maintaining oral health but also constitutes a crucial approach to meeting diverse consumer demands and enhancing potato production efficiency. This process provides a foundation for the breeding of low glycemic index potato varieties and the improvement of biological breeding methods.【Method】 Eight domestically and internationally cultivated potato varieties were employed as experimental materials. The study involved the examination of tuber agronomic traits, analysis of total starch, amylose, rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch, resistant starch, soluble sugars, insoluble dietary fiber, soluble dietary fiber, and soluble protein content in tubers before and after steaming processing. Additionally, the investigation included the evaluation of the retention levels of these components and the post-processing tuber flavor quality and in vitro/vivo glycemic index.【Result】 Among the eight varieties, the yield ranged from 21.50 to 49.90 t·hm^-2, with marketable yield percentages ranging from 60.04% to 90.21% and length-to-width ratios from 1.21 to 2.90. Sensory evaluation scores for flavor ranged from 64 to 73. Texture profile analysis results indicated that hardness ranged from 9.78 N to 19.97 N, adhesiveness from 0.44 mJ to 1.66 mJ, cohesiveness from 0.052 to 0.070, springiness from 0.51 to 1.02 mm, and chewiness from 0.28 to 1.38 mJ. Before and after steaming, the total starch content of eight potato varieties ranged from 67.07% to 76.72% dry weight (DW) and 57.69% to 67.40% DW, respectively. The range of amylose content was 5.36% to 19.23% DW and 5.43% to 6.83% DW, while rapidly digestible starch content varied from 1.18% to 8.23% DW and 14.31% to 28.56% DW. The range of slowly digestible starch content was 3.33% to 7.69% DW and 12.81% to 27.65% DW, and resistant starch content varied from 53.71% to 70.36% DW and 11.80% to 25.80% DW. Soluble sugar content ranged from 25.98 to 56.86 mg·g^-1 DW and 11.38 to 50.24 mg·g^-1 DW, while total dietary fiber content varied from 29.62% to 36.17% DW and 43.67% to 52.55% DW. Insoluble dietary fiber content ranged from 17.69% to 23.70% DW and 30.31% to 44.12% DW, and soluble dietary fiber content ranged from 11.07% to 18.48% DW and 7.37% to 14.09% DW. Soluble protein content varied from 42.26 to 64.14 mg·g^-1 DW and 0.71 to 4.82 mg·g^-1 DW. Following steaming, the total starch content of the eight varieties exhibited a range of -15.49% to -5.97%, with changes in amylose content ranging from -12.39% to 0.56%. The variations in rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch, and resistant starch were in the ranges of 10.44% to 25.86%, 5.12% to 23.09%, and -56.8% to -29.88%, respectively. Soluble sugar content varied from -27.07% to 15.70%, while changes in insoluble dietary fiber and soluble dietary fiber ranged from 11.41% to 25.19% and -4.73% to 0.77%, respectively. Soluble protein content exhibited a range of -60.86% to -39.67%. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between the glycemic index and tuber total starch and rapidly digestible starch content, while a significant negative correlation was observed with resistant starch and insoluble dietary fiber content. The glycemic index of the eight varieties ranged from 58.08 to 100.64 in vitro and from 57.80 to 92.47 in vivo【Conclusion】 Under potato breeding program, the in vitro glycemic index can replace the in vivo glycemic index as an alternative evaluation method. The content of tuber total starch, rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch, resistant starch, and insoluble dietary fiber are key agronomic traits be considered in the breeding process of low glycemic index potato varieties. The Lucinda was identified as a low glycemic index potato variety with superior flavor quality after cooking processing.

In order to clarify the types of pathogens causing potato common scab in the micro potato continuous cultivation substrate, organic acids with good inhibitory activity were screened to control this disease. In this study, pathogenic bacteria were isolated and purified from diseased potato, and their pathogenicity was detected by potato chip method, radish chip method and greenhouse pot inoculation method. The species were determined by morphological observation, physiological and biochemical characteristics determination and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The biological characteristics such as salt tolerance were studied, the effects of organic acids such as formic acid on the growth of Streptomyces spp. were determined using paper plate method. Streptomyces strain 19311 was pathogenic, and its pathogenic island virulence related genotype was txtAB⁺/tomA⁺/necI⁺. Strain 19311 was identified as Streptomyces acidiscabies based on the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, and tartaric acid could significantly inhibit the growth of S. acidiscabies, and formic acid had the best antibacterial effect with the antibacterial zone diameter of 45.43 mm and the lowest effective concentration of 1%, which could inhibit the growth of S. acidiscabies by increasing the permeability of cell membrane. In this study, the species and biological characteristics of Streptomyces strain 19311 in the micro potato cultivation substrate were identified. The use of 1% formic acid to control the occurrence of this disease and evaluate its impact on the original seed production can be carried out in the future.

Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of sweetpotato landraces in China is helpful for the protection of sweetpotato germplasm resources and the cultivation of new varieties. In this study, 132 sweet potato landraces were used as materials to analyze the genetic diversity and population structure of phenotypic traits, carotenoid content, and SSR molecular markers. The results showed that the average coefficient of variation of phenotypic traits of 132 sweetpotato landraces was 45.84%, the average carotenoid content was 6.33 μg/g, and the highest was 59.90 μg/g. The average Nei's diversity index of SSR molecular markers was 0.15, and the average Shannon's diversity index was 0.23. Based on the population structure analysis, the 132 sweetpotato landraces were divided into five subpopulations. Further analysis of molecular variation revealed that 84% of the variation existed within populations and 16% between populations. In summary, sweetpotato landraces have rich genetic diversity, and the genetic variation among germplasms is mainly concentrated within the subpopulation. This provides important information for the protection of local sweetpotato germplasm resources and the cultivation of new varieties in China.

粮食储备和粮食生产能力储备在粮食安全体系中占有重要地位。随着人口增长、消费升级、资源环境约束趋紧，快速城镇化导致的农民生产结构和生活方式的变化，新冠疫情等突发事件的影响，以及粮食进口成本提高，中国粮食和主要农产品的供求将长期处于紧平衡状态，提高粮食储备与粮食生产能力储备以保障国家粮食安全仍然极为重要。马铃薯具有群众基础广泛、种植优势明显、食用方式丰富、加工类型多样等战略储备优势，可通过鲜食、加工产品及生产能力等方式进行战略储备，但马铃薯战略储备需要特殊的贮藏条件、严格的种薯生产体系和质量标准作为支撑，目前国家对马铃薯的战略储备重视程度还不够，政策支持和资金投入还很不足。未来，可以从整体构建、提升产能、加大主食开发力度和提高生产能力贮备水平等方面构建和完善马铃薯战略储备体系，让马铃薯在国家战略储备中充分发挥作用，为中国粮食安全再筑一道防线。

自2015年马铃薯主粮化项目实施以来，中国马铃薯产需呈现出新的发展趋势。经对2015—2019年中国马铃薯生产、消费、价格波动等分析发现，近年来中国马铃薯播种面积基本稳定，在种植技术升级、品种培育等多种因素的影响下，产量逐年增加，单产节节攀升；马铃薯种植生产区域集中在西北地区，马铃薯销售多由生产区辐射向周边临近地区，主要销往北京、安徽、山东等地；马铃薯价格受季节、气候影响较为明显，且现阶段马铃薯消费量上下变动的各种影响因素并存，总体上减大于增。中国马铃薯主粮化项目任重道远，要充分认清当前阶段发展情况，根据时代及居民需求的变动不断调整发展方向，更好地规划马铃薯的生产、消费，做到供需均衡，挖掘消费者的马铃薯消费潜力，用需求拉动消费，带动马铃薯行业发展。

受库存薯市场供应偏紧和冬薯主产区遭受低温灾害天气影响,2023年上半年前期马铃薯价格同比偏高;在种植规模缩减和灾害天气影响共同作用下,春季马铃薯价格较上年明显上涨;从近10年同期数值来看,2023年上半年马铃薯总体价格水平处于最高位。由于2023年6—8月马铃薯市场供应主体为2023年产季春季马铃薯,预计薯价仍将高于上年同期水平;9—12月,马铃薯市场供应主体为2023年产季秋季马铃薯,在不发生大规模、持续性自然灾害的情况下,马铃薯市场价格预计同比下跌。目前中国马铃薯产业仍存在育种短板突出、种植收益波动大和优质优价机制不健全等值得关注的问题。基于此,建议各地加大马铃薯育种研发、完善马铃薯收益保障机制以及加快农业品牌培育,进一步推动中国马铃薯产业持续健康发展。

高质量发展是适应新时代中国社会主要矛盾的必然要求，是经济社会发展的硬道理。在此必然要求和硬道理下，中国马铃薯产业在转型升级过程中呈现生产规模出现分化、发展方式转向内涵型增长、“北薯南移”区域布局持续演化、市场供应量季节波动逐渐弱化、价格波动程度越来越大、国际贸易优势日益凸显、直接食用向加工转化等新特点，资源环境约束趋紧、科技贡献趋缓、生产成本持续上涨、马铃薯消费增长乏力等问题的存在对马铃薯高质量发展形成不同程度的制约，预判中短期内中国马铃薯产业发展将呈现出规模基本稳定、市场波动季节波动性进一步弱化、产业发展加工导向逐渐凸显等趋势。推进马铃薯产业高质量发展，需通过加大马铃薯科技研发投入促进产业创新发展，发展加工践行大食物观促进产业协调发展，推广环境适应性生产模式促进产业绿色发展，强化行业管理部门引导促进产业稳定发展。
