AB  - Transformed potato plants, bearing genes for cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX), the key enzyme in cytokinin (CK) catabolism, represent a valuable model-system for investigations of CK role in the fine tuning of tuberization. CKs are known to affect tuber initiation in vitro, while their effects on other processes, such as tuber enlargement and dormancy break, are less clear. In this study we have investigated dynamics of tuber formation (observed every 5 days during 30-day long experimental period) and parameters of tuber enlargement (tuber diameter and mass measured at the end of experiment) under strong tuber-inducing conditions in vitro (continuous darkness and high sucrose concentration [8% w/v] in the medium) in two transformed potato lines, bearing AtCKX1 or AtCKX2 genes. As previously shown, selected transformed potato lines grown in vitro were characterized by slightly elevated (line AtCKX1-36a) or manifoldly increased (line AtCKX2-51) CKX activity, resulted in differently reduced bioactive CK contents. 6-benzyladenine (BA), being neither substrate nor inhibitor of CKX, was added to the medium (at the concentration of 1 μM) in order to investigate whether it could substitute for the lack of endogenous CKs and their effect on tuberization in AtCKX potato lines. Tuber initiation on single node stem cuttings showed different dynamics in two investigated AtCKX lines, although in both lines it was completed earlier than in non-transformed control. BA at 1 μM enhanced and accelerated tuber formation in control and AtCKX1-36a. In both AtCKX lines, tuber diameter and mass were decreased, which could be restored to control values by addition of BA. BA also shortened tuber dormancy.
