The effects of low temperature and of combined stresses, cool temperature and waterlogging and also warm temperature and drought, on potato tuber glycoalkaloid levels were investigated, with emphasis on comparison of tubers of similar size. The early maturing cultivars Home Guard, Rocket and British

Tubers from รve potato cultivars were selected on the basis of their low, intermediate or high rates of glycoalkaloid synthesis in response to stresses such as light or cold storage temperatures. The tubers were subjected to a standard degree of damage sufficient to cause bruising but not severe dam
Treatment of potato plants with gibberellic acid enhanced both (GA 3 ) shoot and stolon growth and dry weight but delayed tuber initiation and decreased tuber yield. Conversely, treatment with chlorocholine chloride (CCC) growth retardant reduced shoot and stolon growth and dry weight but promoted t
The use of gamma irradiation to control sprouting and increase the length of storage time of potatoes has been proposed as an alternative to cold storage or the use of chemical sprout suppressants. Indeed, it is applied on a commercial-scale to potatoes in Japan. This research reports on the e โ ects
