Soh Kam Yung<p>"The researchers found that each ancestral parent contained one key gene that—when combined—allowed tubers [on potatoes] to grow. Tomatoes contributed the SP6A gene, which acts like a master switch to begin tuber formation. And from the Etuberosum side, another gene called IT1 controls the growth of stems that become tubers."</p><p><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-the-potato-got-its-start-nine-million-years-ago-thanks-to-a-tomato/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scientificamerican.com/article</span><span class="invisible">/how-the-potato-got-its-start-nine-million-years-ago-thanks-to-a-tomato/</span></a></p><p>On Archive [ <a href="https://archive.ph/eKTCb" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/eKTCb</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> ]</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plants</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Tomato" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tomato</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Potato" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Potato</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Hybrids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hybrids</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Genetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Genetics</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a></p>
