Batyrev and Popov's quadratic generation conjecture for Cox rings of del Pezzo surfaces

Let XX be a del Pezzo surface. Let IXI_X be the defining ideal in a presentation Cox(X)k[G]/IX{\rm Cox}(X)\cong k[\mathcal G]/I_X, where G\mathcal G is a minimal homogeneous generating set of the Cox ring. Batyrev and Popov's conjecture. The ideal IXI_X is generated by quadrics. This conjecture predicts a uniform simple presentation for the Cox rings of del Pezzo surfaces; the supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved in this generality.
