This book contains 10 chapters, dealing with the physiological processes determining the
yield that can be harvested from a stand of crop plants, whether grown for food, feed or for …

Rates of tissue expansion, cell division and progression in the plant cycle are driven by
temperature, following common Arrhenius‐type response curves.• We analysed the genetic …

Publisher Summary In this chapter, the focus is on the temperature range between the base
temperature and the ceiling temperature as experienced by a plant in the field or in facilities …

Over two growing seasons, a chloroplast localized synthetic glycolate metabolic pathway
expressed in potato, enhanced tuber biomass. We confirmed that this yield benefit did not …

Mature potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) canopies are composed of leaves
originating from main‐and axillary‐stem branches. Canopy leaf distribution and its …

The basics through practical application—all in one book! Potatoes are a crucial food crop
around the world, grown in nearly 150 countries. The Handbook of Potato Production …

Maincrop potato yields in S cotland have increased by 30–35 t ha− 1 since 1960 as a result
of many changes, but has changing climate contributed anything to this? The purpose of this …

Temperature impacts several growth and developmental processes in sweetpotato
[Ipomoea batatas L.(Lam)] including storage root (SR) initiation. To quantify early season …

The growth and developmental responses of sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] to a
wide range of temperatures have not been addressed extensively. The objectives of this …

Potato tuber yield-determining seasonal changes, especially in subtropical growing settings,
are poorly investigated. This study examined eleven potato genotypes 'G'under four planting …
