Abstract
The aim of the proposed work is to investigate the control of assimilate partitioning during tuberisation in potato (Solanum tuberosum). The methods of top-down control analysis will be extended to the whole-plant level, in order to determine quantitatively the distribution of control between source and sink reactions. Source and sink capacity will be modified using organ-specific genetic manipulations. Plants will be grown in a range of environmental conditions, so that the effect of environmental variables on the distribution of control can be determined.
