“…Others allow the seed and root to develop simultaneously. In some crops, e.g., potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), flowering and fruiting depress tuber yield in some years but not others (Bartholdi, 1942;Proudfoot, 1965), or have variable effects depending on environmental conditions (Jansky and Thompson, 1990).…”

Manual removal of inflorescences from mature (3- and 4-year-old) American ginseng plants (Panax quinquefolium L.) at commercial timing (early July, ≈25% flowers open) increased root yield at harvest. Consecutive inflorescence removal for 2 years (third and fourth) increased yield 55.6%. Inflorescence removal in 4-year-old plants increased yield by 34.7% compared with 26.1% in 3-year-old plants. Analysis showed that the largest portion of roots (≈40%) was in the medium category (10-20 g), and inflorescence removal did not influence root size distribution. Root yield for 3-year-old plants increased quadratically with plant density, with plants lacking inflorescences having an estimated yield increase of 25%. Maximum yields of 2.4 kg·m-2 for deflowered plants were achieved at a plant density of 170 plants/m2. To maximize ginseng root yield, all plants except those needed to provide seed for future plantings should have inflorescences removed.

Relationships between fruit and vegetative growth may influence tuber yield. In 1987, flower removal significantly increased yield at irrigated and dryland sites for the potato clone ND860-2. In 1988, flower removal did not significantly increase yield in Norchip, ND2008-2 or ND860-2 planted under dryland conditions. Response to flower removal appears to be dependent on environmental conditions.Key words: Solarium tuberosum, tuber yield, flower removal, potato, ND860-2, partitioning

“…Another option is "decapitation," in which flowering stems are cut, placed into jars of water, and then pollinated (Peloquin and Hougas 1959). In support of these breeding practices, a negative relationship has been reported between flower and tuber production (Proudfoot 1965;Jansky and Thompson 1990). It is important to note that the same relationship does not necessarily hold for vegetative (vine) and reproductive (flower) growth.…”

The foundation of potato (Solanum tuberosum) breeding and the development of new potato varieties is the crossing of parents to produce seeds that contain new combinations of alleles that may be superior to those in either parent. In this review, we begin by highlighting a signature problem of potato breeding, the widespread lack of fertility observed in many lines. We summarize normal development of male and female reproductive structures, fertilization and embryo growth. Various manifestations of male and female sterility are then described. These include defects of meiosis and mitosis, bud abscission, competition between reproductive structures and tubers for resources, and cytoplasmic male sterility. Effects of environmental determinants, such as temperature and light intensity, on fertility are discussed. Finally, suggested best practices that promote fertility are provided as a guide for those conducting breeding and genetics work with potato.
