Release of Apical Dominance in Potato Tuber Is Accompanied by Programmed Cell Death in the Apical Bud Meristem

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that PCD occurrence is associated with the weakening of tuber AD, allowing early sprouting of mature lateral buds and development of cytoplasmic vesicles, and budding-like nuclear segmentations in the vacuole.

TL;DR: The prevalence of Caesarean Sections was higher over vaginal births, and high number of referred patients who underwent Emergency sections was the main reason.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of gibberellic acid on the duration of dormancy of potato tubers produced by plants derived from true potato seed

TL;DR: Gibberellic acid was applied to potato tubers cultivated from true seed by immersion of intact tubers in aqueous solutions, but increased starch breakdown and α-glucosidase activity in the bud, as well as the RNA content, especially at the sprout apex, prior to sprouting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological mechanisms for potato dormancy release and sprouting: a review.

TL;DR: Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers undergo a period of dormancy, during which visible bud growth is inhibited and two phytohormones, ABA and ethylene suppress tuber sprouting; however, the exact role of ethylene remains to be elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of postharvest application of gibberellic acid and benzyl adenine on the duration of dormancy of potatoes produced by plants grown from TPS

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the use of gibberellic acid (GA) and benzyl adenine (BA) alone or in combination with BA (but not BA alone) promotes dormancy breakage and sprouting in potato tubers.

Microtuber dormancy in three potato cultivars

TL;DR: The dormant period of microtubers was found to be cultivar-specific and a significant correlation was observed betweenin vitro andin vivo dormant periods.

Production of potato minitubers by repeated harvesting: Effects of crop husbandry on yield parameters

W.J.M. Lommen, +1 more
- 27 Jun 1992 - 
TL;DR: Crop husbandry techniques affected minituber yield mainly through their effects on leaf area duration, and the number of minitubers through their effect on growth of tubers to a harvestable size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shortening dormancy of seed potatoes by a haulm application of gibberellic acid and storage temperature regimes.

TL;DR: The effect of a haulm application of gibberellic acid (GA) on the dormancy of seed potatoes harvested immature was investigated and several storage temperature regimes were imposed to examine the interaction between GA and storage temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative performance of potato crops raised from microtubers induced in the dark versus microtubers induced in light

TL;DR: The in vitro system of microtuberization by serial culture of axillary buds in separated nodes, as used in the present study, was found to be genetically stable for the propagating material.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of rindite on breaking dormancy of potato microtubers

TL;DR: The data indicates that the dormancy of potato microtubers with well-matured skin can be effectively broken with an optimum treatment of rindite.
