Abstract
Grafting experiments between phytochrome B antisense and wild-type pot ato (Solanum tuberosum L. subsp. andigena [line 7540]) plants provide evidence that phytochrome B is involved in the production of a graft-t ransmissible inhibitor of tuberization, the level of which is reduced in the antisense plants, allowing them to tuberize in noninducing phot operiods.
