Tuber dormancy is an important physiological trait that impacts post-harvest storage and end-use qualities of potatoes. Overall, dormancy regulation of potato tubers is a complex process driven by genetic as well as environmental factors. Elucidation of the molecular and physiological mechanisms that influence different dormancy stages of tubers has wider potato breeding and industry-relevant implications. Therefore, the primary objective of this review is to present current knowledge of the diversity in tuber dormancy traits among wild relatives of potatoes and discuss how genetic and epigenetic factors contribute to tuber dormancy. Advancements in understanding of key physiological mechanisms involved in tuber dormancy regulation, such as apical dominance, phytohormone metabolism, and oxidative stress responses, are also discussed. This review highlights the impacts of common sprout suppressors on the molecular and physiological mechanisms associated with tuber dormancy and other storage qualities. Collectively, the literature suggests that significant changes in expression of genes associated with the cell cycle, phytohormone metabolism, and oxidative stress response influence initiation, maintenance, and termination of dormancy in potato tubers. Commercial sprout suppressors mainly alter the expression of genes associated with the cell cycle and stress responses and suppress sprout growth rather than prolonging tuber dormancy.

Transcriptome analysis unravels the biocontrol mechanism of Serratia plymuthica A30 against potato soft rot caused by Dickeya solani.

Article Synopsis
- - The endophytic bacterium Serratia plymuthica A30 is an effective biocontrol agent for potato tubers, showing strong resistance against soft rot pathogens like Dickeya solani, especially in cold conditions.
- - A30 triggers early defense mechanisms in potato tubers by enhancing microbial recognition and activating detoxification pathways, while later inhibiting stress-related gene expression to promote a symbiotic relationship.
- - The interaction between A30 and potato tubers suggests benefits such as maintaining dormancy and delaying sprouting, which could improve tuber durability during storage, highlighting its potential in managing soft rot pathogens.
Population Structure of in Israel Changes Frequently Due to the Import of Asymptomatic Late Blight-Infected Potato Seed Tubers from Europe.

Article Synopsis
- * These asymptomatic tubers can sprout late blight-infected plants about a month after planting, leading to severe disease spread among neighboring crops due to the production of sporangia.
- * The predominant pathogen genotype in autumn is 23A1, but new genotypes like 13A2, 36A2, and potentially resistant genotype 43A1 appeared in spring 2024, highlighting yearly variability in the pathogen's population structure caused by imported seed tubers.
QTL discovery for agronomic and quality traits in diploid potato clones using PotatoMASH amplicon sequencing.

We genotyped a population of 618 diploid potato clones derived from six independent potato-breeding programmes from NW-Europe. The diploids were phenotyped for 23 traits, using standardized protocols and common check varieties, enabling us to derive whole population estimators for most traits. We subsequently performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for all traits with SNPs and short-read haplotypes derived from read-backed phasing.

Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) are transcription factors that play a pivotal role in plant growth and development. This study identifies 12 GRF transcription factors (StGRFs) and analyzes their physicochemical properties, phylogenetic relationships, gene structures and gene expression patterns using bioinformatics. The StGRFs exhibit a length range of 266 to 599 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 26.

In recent years, heat stress has affected potato production more frequently, resulting in lower marketable yields and reduced tuber quality. In order to develop heat-tolerant potatoes, it is necessary to select under heat-stress conditions and consider traits affected by heat stress. The Texas A&M Potato Breeding Program has selected potatoes under high-temperature stress for several decades.
