Summary

Potato is a member of the Solanaceae family and the most important non-grain food crop. The main goal of this thesis is gaining knowledge of the later
development stages in potato senescence and of how these developmental traits
influence the final yield. This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation
of StCDF1, the key gene that regulates multiple aspects of potato plant
development.
