摘要

As the world’s third most important food crop, the yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is directly determined by the process of tuber formation. Solanum tuberosum Self-Pruning 6A (StSP6A), a key member of Flowering Locus T (FT) family, acts as a mobile tuberigen and serves as a key integrator of diverse tuberization signals. This article systematically reviews how StSP6A, at the center of a complex regulatory network, integrates multiple environmental cues and endogenous factors, such as photoperiod, temperature, and sucrose, to control tuber formation. Elucidating this network would provide a crucial framework for molecular breeding in potato.
