Starch retrogradation remains as an area of interest due to its technological implications. The long-term structural changes taking place during the retrogradation process of gels from rice, potato, and corn starches were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), rheology, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Rietveld refinement of XRD showed that initial crystalline arrangement of starches transitioned to a combination of hexagonal and monoclinic structure in varying proportions, also the distribution of crystalline and amorphous phases had a preferential growth depending on the starch source. Final crystallinity values after 28 days in gels were potato (12.38 %) > corn (7.26 %) > rice (1.92 %). All starch gels showed a viscoelastic behavior with a mesh size of the gel network decreasing over time. FTIR showed a close relationship with crystallinity growing. These results enhance the understanding of structural changes in starch gels during retrogradation and help predict their behavior.

Plant-microorganism interactions underlie many ecosystem roles, in particular the enhancement of plant nutrition through mutualistic relationships, such as the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis that affects a large proportion of land plants. The establishment of this interaction induces a wide range of signaling pathways in which lipids, and particularly sterols, may play a central role. However, their supported functions are poorly known.

Late blight resistance of potato was improved by the co-expression of the potato resistance gene R3a and the pathogen-inducible avirulence gene Avr3a of Phytopthora infestans. The synthetic pathogen-inducible promoter 2xS-4xD-NpCABE, which is composed of the cis-acting elements S and D and the core promoter of the NpCABE gene, was developed for potato. By analysis of 20 core promoters from Solanacea species synthetic promoters of the 2xS-2xD-type were generated which differ in their background activity, strength and promoter inducibility.

With the growing demand for clean labeling in food products, cold plasma (CP) has gained attention as an eco-friendly method for starch modification. This study evaluated various effects of CP treatment on A- and B-type starches by comparing their microstructure and physicochemical properties. CP treatment caused the deposition of precipitates on the starch surfaces.

The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2018/1659. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of pyraclostrobin as a fungicide and plant growth regulator on cereals (wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale), maize (forage and grain) and potatoes.
