Agro-physiological and transcriptome profiling reveal key genes associated with potato tuberization under different nitrogen regimes in aeroponics.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen (N) is a crucial nutrient for the growth and development of potatoes. However, excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers can have detrimental effects on human health, aquatic ecosystems, and the environment. Therefore, understanding the genes involved in nitrogen metabolism is essential for developing future strategies to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in plants. This study aimed to identify genes associated with high tuber yield in two contrasting potato varieties Kufri Jyoti (N inefficient) and Kufri Pukhraj (N efficient) grown under low and high nitrogen regimes using an aeroponics system. Both varieties were grown in aeroponics with two nitrogen doses (low N: 0.5 mM N; high N: 5 mM N) using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications over two years. The phe
