Potatoes dormancy release and sprouting commencement: A review on current and future prospects

Abstract

The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important food crops worldwide. Nevertheless, due to food safety concerns, substantial amounts of potatoes are not utilized, resulting in losses. Dormancy development is affected by potato variety, temperature, light, humidity, and so forth. Traditional and novel techniques to detect potato dormancy have been developed based on infrared spectroscopy, hyperspectral, and multispectral imaging systems in combination with simulation verification. This review describes the ability of novel approaches to address the uncertain hazardous issue and delay or inhibit potato dormancy incidence and development. Further, this review describes the role of carbohydrate metabolism and phytohormone regulation involved in potato dormancy, the mechanism of action to address dormancy, and challenges and recommendations moving forward. More work is needed to develop novel approaches toward addressing the problem of potato germination after harvest.

Partial Least Square Regression for Nondestructive Determination of Sucrose Content of Healthy and Fusarium spp. Infected Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Utilizing Visible and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

“…Furthermore, fungal pathogens, among other biotic stresses, pose a significant constraint in the potato production system and can lead to economic losses in the field and during transportation and storage [4]. In particular, the sugar content, namely sucrose, glucose, and fructose, is a vital determinant of the intrinsic quality of potatoes [5]. This determinant directly correlates to the vegetable's nutritional worth, taste, and durability [6], [7].…”

The Postharvest Application of Carvone, Abscisic Acid, Gibberellin, and Variable Temperature for Regulating the Dormancy Release and Sprouting Commencement of Mini-Tuber Potato Seeds Produced under Aeroponics

“…Strategies for managing potato tuber dormancy and sprouting include the use of chemicals and temperature variations [11]. Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in dormancy, controlling the status and germination timing to suit varying environmental conditions and survival needs.…”
