Rate of tuberization for overexpression lines of StBEL5 under soil-grown, SD conditions

Plants were grown in 10-cm pots under LDs (16 h of light, 8 h of dark) until they reached the 16-leaf stage and then transferred to SDs (8 h of light, 16 h of dark). After 14 d under SDs, four plants per independent line were evaluated for tuber formation. SEs are shown.

Plant Line	No. Tubers Plant-1	Tuber Yield Plant-1

StBEL5-12	8.0 ± 0.8	5.4 ± 1.3
