Most cultivated potatoes are tetraploid, and the tuber is the main economic part that is consumed due to its calorific and nutritional values. Recent trends in climate change led to the frequent occurrence of heat and drought stress in major potato-growing regions worldwide. The optimum temperature for tuber production is 15-20 °C.

Synbiotic foods have gained popularity in recent years due to their functional, nutritional, physiological, and therapeutic characteristics.

- The Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus-potato (ToLCNDV-potato) leads to potato apical leaf curl disease, which negatively impacts the nutritional quality of potatoes by disrupting carbohydrate, protein, and starch biosynthesis.
- In experiments on potato cultivars (Kufri Pukhraj and Kufri Bahar), there was a significant decrease in starch, amylose, and resistant starch in virus-infected tubers, while carbohydrate and amylopectin levels increased.
- This study is the first to show how the ToLCNDV-potato virus affects glycemic index and resistant starch in potatoes, raising concerns about nutritional quality and health implications for consumers.
