Glycoalkaloids significantly decreased bacterial cell multiplication and increased bacterial death, inhibiting their growth.
Inhibition of biofilm formation by glycoalkaloids was strongest with the potato variant DG 00-683, showcasing its effectiveness.
Direct effects on pectinolytic activity and quorum-sensing gene expression were observed with glycoalkaloids from Solanum chacoense.
These findings suggest that natural pesticides from Solanum spp. can enhance defense against pectinolytic bacteria in potatoes.

Experimental analysis shows glycoalkaloids reduce bacterial growth in Solanum tuberosum, indicating pest control potential.

Grupa et al. (2025) studied this question.
