Morphological and molecular characterization of a spontaneously tuberizing potato mutant: an insight into the regulatory mechanisms of tuber induction

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Tuberization in potato (<it>Solanum tuberosum </it>L.) represents a morphogenetic transition of stolon growth to tuber formation, which is under complex environmental and endogenous regulation. In the present work, we stu...
