tuber growth and development stages
This item has been open on SF since 6/2009
I have a bunch of potato genes which are expressed in different tuber developmental stages (e.g. the potato pmt gene is expressed in small sprouts only (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16088399).
Suggested stages:
-sprout development (does this correspond to tube axillary bud development? Should come after tuber maturation)
-tuber initiation
-tuber growth
-tuber maturation
How we work these in will depend on restructuring of PGDSO

This is a fairly new request for terms for cotton
