Abstract: Recently， considerable progress has been made in the identification of the molecular mechanisms underlying photoperiodic regulation of tuberization in potato (Solanum tuberosum). The involvement of plant hormone gibberellins (GAs)， the potato CONSTANS-LIKE 3 (COL3) and FLOWERING LOCUST (FT) genes， as well as the sucrose transporters (SUTs) in tuberization control under short day (SD) are reviewed in this paper.
