The potato plant has changed the shape and size of its stem to store food and water. (juniorsbook.com)
The potato already had the botanical name which it still bears today - Solanum tuberosum , which was given to it in 1596. (theoldfoodie.com)
Eating a green potato, or potato sprouts, can cause what's known as potato plant poisoning or solanum tuberosum poisoning, leading to symptoms ranging from diarrhea and vomiting to delirium, paralysis, shock and, in extremely rare cases, death. (losethebackpain.com)
The edible parts of the potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) are not roots, as often thought, but swollen underground stem tubers (stolons). (frogblog.ie)
As the potato plant grows, its compound leaves manufacture starch that is transferred to the ends of its underground stems (or stolons). (govietnamtravel.asia)
Identification and characterization of miRNAome in root, stem, leaf and tuber developmental stages of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) by high-throughput sequencing. (dpmb.ac.in)
The cultivated species of potato, Solanum tuberosum, is a tuber-bearing herbaceous plant which produces stems and leaves above ground, but the so-called root system of the plant is an extension of the stem. (cropimpi.co.za)
The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is currently the third most important food crop in the world and is becoming increasingly important to the local economies of developing countries. (reading.ac.uk)
Arabidopsis thaliana and potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) seed embryo, poplar ( Populus trichocarpa ) stem cambium, oat ( Avena sativa ) grain endosperm, and nutsedge ( Cyperus esculentus ) tuber parenchyma, were studied by agroinfiltration in Nicotiana benthamiana . (biomedcentral.com)
Arabidopsis thaliana and potato (Solanum tuberosum) seed embryo, poplar (Populus trichocarpa) stem cambium, oat (Avena sativa) grain endosperm, and nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) tuber parenchyma, were studied by agroinfiltration in Nicotiana benthamiana.Results: All WRI1 homologs induced oil accumulation when expressed in leaf tissue. (slu.se)
The genus contains important agricultural crops such as tomato (S. lycopersicum), potato (S. tuberosum), eggplant (S. melongena), and many regionally cultivated species. (swbiodiversity.org)
Apart from the tubers, the softer stems and leaves of the sweet potato plant were also used as green vegetables-the custom still remains in the Okinawan cuisine today. (deeplyregionaljapan.com)
Solanaceae4
The plant Solanum tuberosum (family Solanaceae), a cultigen of South American origin, now grown commercially worldwide for its starchy underground stem tubers. (theoldfoodie.com)
Sweet potatoes should not be confused with ordinary potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) as they are entirely unrelated, although their uses can be similar. (encyclopedia.com)
When the plants are 6-8 inches tall, begin hilling the potatoes by gently mounding the soil from the center of your rows around the stems of the plant. (thankchickens.com)
Tubers3
It attacks the tubers as well as the stems and leaves of the plant. (wikipedia.org)
The stems thicken to form a few or as many as 20 tubers close to the soil surface. (govietnamtravel.asia)
Late blight can result in severe symptoms that are visible on different parts of the host plant including stems, leaves, fruits, and tubers. (epicgardening.com)
Tuber5
We eat the starchy modified stem, called the tuber, of the plant. (scienceabc.com)
In the pathogenicity test the symptoms were found on tuber, stem and stolon also. (microbiologyjournal.org)
The portion of the stem below ground gives rise to stolon's which carry the adventitious root system and which terminate with the tuber - see diagramme below. (cropimpi.co.za)
The tuber is a highly adapted part of the stem organised for food storage and vegetative reproduction. (cropimpi.co.za)
The leaves and fruit are usually poisonous and the stem tuber is the only edible part once it is cooked. (openfarm.cc)
Roots2
It grows from underground tuberous roots with trailing, twisting stems that can be as long as twenty feet (six meters). (encyclopedia.com)
Roots grow where stem nodes touch the ground, and most develop into the edible storage roots, usually four to ten storage roots per plant. (encyclopedia.com)
Tomato1
The leaves and stems of the tomato plant contain glycoalkaloid, a toxin that can lead to stomach upset, headache and dizziness. (losethebackpain.com)
Perennial1
Rhubarb stalks, which are actually stems of a perennial plant, are quite tasty when used in pies or crumbles, but the leaves of this plant are very poisonous. (losethebackpain.com)
Embryo2
The plumule of the embryo of a germinating seed grows into stem. (ncertmcq.com)
The epicotyl elongates after embryo growth into the axis (the stem) that bears leaves from its tip, which contain the actively dividing cells of the shoot called apical meristem. (ncertmcq.com)
Plant3
The plant has a branched stem and alternately arranged leaves of unequal size and shape. (armuro.com)
Stem bears vegetative bud for vegetative growth of the plant, and floral buds for reproduction, and ends in a terminal bud. (ncertmcq.com)
P. infestans develops sporangiospores or specialized branched hyphae that leaves a host plant through the stomata of stems and leaves. (epicgardening.com)
Leaf3
These buds are formed at nodes but outside the axil of the leaf as in Solanum americanum. (ncertmcq.com)
Erect stems with distinct nodes and usually hollow internodes clasped by leaf sheaths. (ncertmcq.com)
mostly borne between nodes, often lateral (opposite a leaf on stem), uniflorous to complex cymes. (swbiodiversity.org)
Plants1
Bulb -A mass of overlapping membranous or fleshy leaves on a short stem base enclosing one or more buds that may develop under suitable conditions into new plants and constituting the resting stage of many plants, such as the onion. (usda.gov)
Leaves4
Blanch- As a verb, blanch means to take the color out of a vegetable and mike it white by excluding light through burial, boarding, or wrapping the leaves, stem, or shoot. (usda.gov)
Cluster of fruit -Fruit including the leaves, peduncles (stem that connects individual fruit to the main stem), and rachises (main stem of the cluster of fruit). (usda.gov)
This type of reproduction is more common in stems than in leaves. (epicgardening.com)
Leaves, petioles, and stems can all become blighted in just a few days. (epicgardening.com)
Nodes1
The stem is aerial, green, photosynthetic and has nodes and internodes. (ncertmcq.com)
Tuberous1
Adventitious buds function as propagules which are produced on the stem as tuberous structures. (ncertmcq.com)
Fruits1
During reproductive growth stem bears flowers and fruits. (ncertmcq.com)
Main stem1
These buds are present at the apex of the main stem and at the tips of the branches. (ncertmcq.com)
Buds2
Buds arising at any part other than stem are known as adventitious buds. (ncertmcq.com)
Cauline buds arise directly from the stem either from cut, pruned ends or from branches. (ncertmcq.com)
Water1
Small canopies which increase harvest index and decrease evapotranspiration, open stem-type canopies which increase light penetration, and shallow but densely rooted cultivars, which increase water uptake, have all been associated with drought tolerance in the past, but have largely been ignored.

Bears1
Some stems bears multicellular hairs of different kinds. (ncertmcq.com)
