Abstract

A review is given of recent Japanese research on the physiology and biochemistry of dormancy in the potato tuber. The influence of natural growth inhibiting and stimulating compounds on tuberization and sprouting is discussed. The ratio between these growth-regulating substances probably controls the shift in relative activity of different respiratory enzyme systems occurring on the termination of dormancy.
