David Thurston, professor emeritus at Cornell University, has dedicated his career to international agriculture and plant pathology. His website, Smokin' Doc Thurston's Greatest Hits, showcases his work and includes over 2,500 photos from his global travels, freely available to inspire others.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the current Quality Declared Seed (QDS) protocol in potato quality control and to propose a practical strategy to improve the health of potato QDS in Ethiopia.

The TED talk “Do schools kill creativity?” has been viewed over 75 million times, making it the most popular video on the platform. Although it’s not related to agriculture, I’m sharing it with you to demonstrate how ChatGPT-4 and VoxScript can effectively summarize the content of a YouTube video.

North Carolina State University, Raleigh, conducted a study published in Current Biology that discusses the exciting world of plant-virus interactions. This is a summary of the study.

The study demonstrated how the anthocyanins in these potatoes have the potential to inhibit enzymes that are associated with metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity

A study conducted by a team of scientists at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and The Rural Economy and Agricultural Society in Sweden was published recently in the journal Field Crops Research. The study focused on creating a streamlined dynamic yield loss simulation model that couples a simple epidemiological model of late blight disease with a basic model of potato crop growth.

Pallavi Mansotra, from the Sangha Innovation Centre in India, recently contributed a chapter to the forthcoming book, ‘Symbiosis in Nature’. This chapter offers a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics and potential of live microbial formulations in mitigating potato losses caused by various diseases and adverse crop conditions. The following is a summary of that section.

Researchers from Solynta and Wageningen University and Research (WUR) recently published a scientific review in the journal Plants titled “Converting Hybrid Potato Breeding Science into Practice“. The research team provides an overview of the latest and most relevant research on diploid hybrid potatoes.

This study aims to assess the impact of commercial peppermint essential oil on potato quality over 28 days, hypothesizing it will prevent sprouting and sustain this effect for an extra 30 days.

I’ve used artificial intelligence to transform fascinating potato-related research papers into a collection of stunning visual representations.

The goal of this study, conducted by the National Technical University of Athens (Greece) and published in the journal Fermentation, is to produce bioethanol from all types of potato processing waste, not just one

Scientists at the Inner Mongolia Agricultural University in China recently published a review in the journal Plants describing the advancement of antiviral strategies in potatoes through the engineering of both viral and plant-derived genes.

This study aimed to develop a bio-based ingredient from bark residues to prevent disease and sprouting of potatoes during storage.
