Potatoes don't love the heat! In upcoming warmer conditions, they might sprout more but end up with fewer mature tubers. It's not about starting tubers, but filling them. Abscisic acid drops while key potato genes react differently, spotlighting new ways to breed heat-tolerant spuds.
The physiological and molecular responses of potato tuberization to projected future elevated temperatures.

Many key physiological events are influenced by the circadian oscillator network. The image shows a diagram of a clock surrounded by processes it is known to regulate, including plant defense, pollinator attractiveness, microbiome interactions, tuberization, stress responses, reproduction, and hormone synthesis and signaling.

Sweet potato pie in honor of the tuberization paper I'm editing... or just that my CSA sent me a lot of Japanese sweet potatoes.
Image of a sweet potato pie in a sand-colored pie plate resting on the grates of a stove. The pie is golden in color rather than the usual orange because it's made with Japanese sweet potatoes. Two slices are missing––or maybe one very large slice cut by a greedy person (me).

Ancient hybridization underlies tuberization and radiation of the potato lineage
Genomic and functional analyses reveal that the potato lineage originated from a homoploid interspecific hybridization event between the Tomato and Etuberosum lineages 8–9 million years ago. The alternate inheritance of highly divergent parental alleles drove the origin of tubers and explosive species diversification and niche expansion into the high Andes.

To be fair, so is a world without potatoes "derived from the Etuberosum and Tomato lineages ca. 8–9 million years ago".
