Heterologous Expression of <i>OtsB</i> Increases Tuber Yield and Phenotypic Stability in Potato under Both Abiotic and Biotic Stresses

Heterologous Expression of <i>OtsB</i> Increases Tuber Yield and Phenotypic Stability in Potato under Both Abiotic and Biotic Stresses

Climate-smart and sustainable crops are needed for the future. Engineering crops for tolerance of both abiotic and biotic stress is one approach. The accumulation of trehalose, controlled through <i>trehalose-6-phosphate synthase</i> (<i>TPS</i>) or <i>OtsA</i> an...
