Abstract excerpt
Tubers are modified underground stems that enable asexual, clonal reproduction and serve as a mechanism for overwintering and avoidance of herbivory. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is cultivated for its tubers, which serve as a major crop. Genes responsible for tuber initiation and disease resistance have been characterized in potato including StSP6A, a homolog of flowering time, that functions as a tuberigen, the...
