Abstract
Ribosomal proteins (RPs) mediate protein synthesis and stability of the ribosomal complex. RPs and rRNA form ribosomal subunits and ri-bosomes, the cellular machinery for protein synthesis, a fundamental biological process related to cell growth and proliferation. The differ-ences between paralogs within the same RP family have led them to ac-quire extraribosomal functions involved in plants' growth, develop-ment, and biotic and abiotic stresses. From transcriptomic analysis, it has been revealed that ribosomal proteins have a crucial role during MTs development. The RPLs; RPL11, RPL29 and RPL40 interact with PEBP family members (Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding proteins), poten-tial activators in the MTs development. In potatoes, genome editing is a promising technology to introduce crop breeding traits. Recently, the edition of the genome through the CRISPR/Cas9 system has made it the most efficient and powerful genetic modification method. Based on this, the gene modulation by overexpression and silencing in RPL11, RPL29 and RPL40 will guide us to understand the effect on the microtuberiza-tion process and produce improved potato plants with the capability of growing under adverse environments (biotic and abiotic stresses). By understanding the molecular biology mechanisms that RPs govern, we can improve crops under today's changing climatic conditions.
