It has been known for a long time that photoperiod plays a vital role in potato tuberization. Molecular mechanism underlying it, however, had made less progress until this century. More and more data support that potato tuber formation and Arabidopsis flowering share a similar pathway and a large number of common genes, such as Phytochrome, CONSTANS (CO), FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), LOV blue light receptors and transcription factor CDF. In addition, a homeobox gene POTH1 and its interacting gene StBEL5, which were first studied in potato tuber formation, are identified to be affected by light. In this paper, recent progress in molecular mechanism underlying photoperiodic-induced potato tuber formation is described in the aspects of light signal perception, photoperiodic signal transduction and tuber induction by mobile signal molecules. Key words: potato; tuber formation; photoperiodic-induction
