Influence of light-induced greening on storage of potato microtubers

The effect of light-induced greening of microtubers on their storage behaviour was studied in 16 genotypes of potato. Greening improved the storage of microtubers in terms of shrinkage, biomass loss and sprout emergence. A significant genotype × treatment interaction for shrinkage was observed.

Keywords: in vitro tuberization; micropropagation; microtuber induction and storage; post harvest; Solanum tuberosum
