Integrated Transcriptomic and Phytohormone Metabolomic Analyses Reveal Distinct Molecular States Associated with PSTVd-Induced Potato Tuber Cracking and Knob-like Protuberances at Tuber Eyes
Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) infection can induce tuber cracking and knob-like protuberances at tuber eyes, but the molecular differences between these two localized symptoms remain unclear. In this study, smooth surface regions and normal eye tissues were collected from mock-inoculated tubers of the potato cult...
