Article Synopsis
  • GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid) is identified as an important amino acid that influences plant growth, but its specific role in potato sprouting was previously unclear.
  • A study found that GABA treatment for 50 days accelerated sprouting, increased soluble sugars, and decreased starch levels, suggesting it positively affects sprouting processes.
  • Proteomics analysis revealed 316 proteins associated with fatty acid and sugar metabolism, and increased expression of peroxidase 42 (StPOD42) was linked to enhanced sprouting, highlighting its potential as a target for breeding to improve potato sprouting.

The macronutrient potassium is essential to plant growth, development and stress response. Alligator weed () has a high tolerance to potassium deficiency (LK) stress. The stem is the primary organ responsible for transporting molecules from the underground root system to the aboveground parts of the plant.

Plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX) is a plastid-localized plastoquinone (PQ) oxidase in plants. It functions as the terminal oxidase of chlororespiration, and has the potential ability to regulate the redox state of the PQ pool. Expression of the PTOX gene was up-regulated in soybean seedlings after exposure to water deficit stress for 6 h.
