The three main groups of cultivated potatoes were studied (diploids (2n ----24), Andigena (2n = 48) and Tuberosum (2n ~ 48)). Seed weights were measured as mg per 100 seeds. In the tetraploids, but not in the diploids, there is a regression of seed weight on seed number per berry with b --~ -7 mg pe
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber buds normally remain dormant through the growing season until several weeks after harvest. In the cultivar Majestic, this innate dormancy persisted for 9 to 12 weeks in storage at 10 ~ C, but only 3 to 4 weeks when the tubers were stored at 2~ At certain stages,
