Following tuber induction, potato tubers undergo a period of dormancy during which visible
bud growth is inhibited. The length of the dormancy period is under environmental …

In the present climate of functional elucidation of entire genomes by technologies
comprising mass sequencing, insertional mutagenesis, and RNA expression profiling …

Transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants expressing a fragment of the
mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase gene in the antisense orientation and exhibiting …

The compartmentation of metabolism in heterotrophic plant tissues is poorly understood due
to the lack of data on metabolite distributions and fluxes between subcellular organelles …

Potatoes can be used in many different ways, but most involve the use of fresh tubers.
Because producing fresh potatoes throughout the year is unfeasible, long-time storage is …

The major flux in potato tuber carbon metabolism is the conversion of sucrose through
hexose phosphates to starch. The enzymes that mediate this pathway are well …

We have increased the productivity and yield of potato (S olanum tuberosum) by developing
a novel method to enhance photosynthetic carbon fixation based on expression of a …

The potato plant is among the most important and well-documented crops globally due to its
role in ensuring human food security. Dormancy and sprouting behaviors of the potato tuber …

Biotechnology-based tools are now widely used to enhance and expand the traditional remit
of potato in food production. By modifying its functionality, the capacity of the potato to …

To change the hexose‐to‐sucrose ratio within phloem cells, yeast‐derived cytosolic
invertase was expressed in transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum cv. Desirée) plants …
