Compact and dry soils impede root growth restrict plant water availability, respectively, potentially causing leaf deficit. Although both stresses likely co-occur in the field limit yield, little is known about their combined impact on physiology over a whole season, especially tuberous crop like potato. Field-grown potato (Solanum tuberosum L. var. 'Maris Piper') was exposed to factorial combi...

Aerial plant architecture is predominantly determined by shoot branching and leaf morphology, which are governed by apparently unrelated developmental processes, axillary meristem formation, and leaf dissection. Here, we show that in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), these processes share essential functions in boundary establishment. Potato leaf (C), a key regulator of leaf dissection, was identi...

In vitro propagation of Cavendish banana is an alternative to produce healthy, uniform and sufficient plant materials high qualities. Appropriate culture media formulation needed for shoot growth rooting stage. This experiment aimed study effects IAA organic supplements on in rooting. Explants were subjected MS medium with various supplements, a factorial arrangement completely randomized desig...

Abstract Auxin is known to be involved in various developmental processes, including meristem identity, shoot branching and initiation of potato tubers. The previously identified StYUCCA8 gene that exhibits a peak expression after tuber induction prior swelling was cloned over-expressed order study the effects altered auxin content on stolon architecture development. plants transformed with 35S...

Using the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) two-hybrid system and a potato (Solanum tuberosum) KNOX protein, designated POTH1, as bait, we have identified seven distinct interacting proteins from a stolon library of potato. All seven cDNAs are members of the BEL1-like family of transcription factors. Among these proteins, there are at least four regions of high sequence conservation including th...
