abstract = {Potato tubers comprise $83\%$ water at harvest, but
surprisingly few studies address tuber water relations in
drying soil. This study aims to understand whether soil
drying alters tuber water fluxes and their effect on tuber
volume growth.MethodsTuber water content and volume growth
were investigated every 4 h using magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) during soil drying and re-watering, with leaf gas
exchange, leaf water potential and foliar abscisic acid
(ABA) concentration measured concurrently.Tubers of
well-watered plants showed a diurnal growth pattern with
their volume and average water content (TWC) increasing
overnight. Withholding irrigation caused typical shoot
drought stress responses (e.g. stomatal closure), dampened
fluctuations in total TWC and paused nocturnal volume
growth. Irrespective of soil moisture, tubers lost water
(likely to the shoot) during the daytime when the plant
transpires, while tuber water loss to the soil was minimal.
Re-watering restored tuber volume growth and average TWC due
to root water uptake and transport to the tuber.Potato
tubers can supply water to the shoot. Nocturnal water influx
needs to exceed daytime water efflux for net tuber volume
growth, which should be considered in irrigation
management.},
