Anatomical, Physiological, and Molecular Responses of Sweetpotato Native Periderm to Preharvest Water Deprivation During Early-storage Root Bulking

Preharvest irrigation cutoff to promote skin set is a common management practice in irrigated commercial sweetpotato production, but its effects on native periderm, the developmentally formed periderm of intact storage roots before harvest, are poorly understood. We evaluated anatomical, physiological, and molecular...
