AbstractThe role of protease inhibitors in modulating changes in protein content of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers was investigated using a mother/daughter tuber model system. Changes in patatin ...

When potato sprouts or potato tuber slices were incubated with 0.1 M glucose 1-phosphate, a soluble amylopectin-like polysaccharide was excreted to the medium. This polysaccharide was found to be a ...

If the temperature is too high, potato plants form significantly lower numbers of tubers. Biochemists have now discovered the reason why. If the temperature rises, a so-called small RNA blocks the ...

Cold-induced sweetening (CIS) is a postharvest phenomenon whereby potato tubers accumulate reducing sugars during storage at low temperatures. This process compromises the quality of processed ...

Those white potatoes that were planted on the Ides of March have a lot of activity going on under the ground right now. While the above ground green shoots put out new leaves and stems the underground ...
