TL;DR: expression of rol genes did not affect starch content during the first three weeks of cutting culturing but increased it by 15–30% in five-week-old tubers, and the effects of roL transgenes on the initiation and termination of starch granule development are discussed.

TL;DR: The complex result of the PHYB gene insertion was demonstrated: it affected the photoperiodic response of tuberization, the control of tuber initiation by sucrose, and the growth of potato vegetative organs.

TL;DR: The content of cytokinins and the activity of GA were much higher under LD conditions, especially in leaves, and the total level of both phytohormones was higher in transformed as compared to wild-type plants.

TL;DR: It was reported that the phototolerance of the photosynthetic apparatus and the accumulation of phenolic compounds, anthocyanins in particular, improved plant tolerance to UV radiation, which allowed us to suggest that potato plants with increased phytochrome B content might be more tolerant not only to high light but also toUV radiation.

TL;DR: The investigation of the photoperiodic control of potato tuberization and its regulation is not only of theoretical but also of practical importance because it affects the time and synchrony of potato yielding in areas differing in the latitude.
