Transcriptomic analysis of Chinese yam (Dioscorea polystachya Turcz.) variants indicates brassinosteroid involvement in tuber development [PDF]
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023 Dioscorea is an important but underutilized genus of flowering plants that grows predominantly in tropical and subtropical regions. Several species, known as yam, develop large underground tubers and aerial bulbils that are used as food. The Chinese yam (

Tuber and Tuberous Root Development [PDF]
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2021 Root and tuber crops have been an important part of human nutrition since the early days of humanity, providing us with essential carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins. Today, they are especially important in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, where they help to feed an ever-growing population.

Physiological and protein profiling analysis provides insight into the underlying molecular mechanism of potato tuber development regulated by jasmonic acid in vitro [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background Jasmonates (JAs) are one of important phytohormones regulating potato tuber development. It is a complex process and the underlying molecular mechanism regulating tuber development by JAs is still limited. This study attempted to illuminate it

Tuber on a chip: differential gene expression during potato tuber development [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2005 SummaryPotato tuber development has proven to be a valuable model system for studying underground sink organ formation. Research on this topic has led to the identification of many genes involved in this complex process and has aided in the unravelling of the mechanisms underlying starch synthesis.

Potato Periderm Development and Tuber Skin Quality
Plants, 2022 The periderm is a corky tissue that replaces the epidermis when the latter is damaged, and is critical for preventing pathogen invasion and water loss. The periderm is formed through the meristematic activity of phellogen cells (cork cambium). The potato

Carotenogenesis during tuber development and storage in potato [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2004 Germplasm of Solanum tuberosum and Solanum phureja exhibit a wide (over 20-fold) variation in tuber carotenoid content. The levels of carotenoids during tuber development and storage were compared in a high carotenoid-accumulating S. phureja accession (DB375\1) with two S.
