A study of tuber cell integrity and ultrastructure during prolonged potato storage.

Summary

Electrolyte leakage and lipolytic acylhydrolase and lipoxygenase activities were determined in potato cv Pentland Dell tubers stored for 0-36 weeks at 5 or 10 deg C and 95% RH. Up to 12 weeks storage at 5 deg C, cation leakage was relatively stable. Lipolytic acylhydrolase activity was stable until 20 weeks after storage, after which it increased until the end of storage. Lipoxygenase activity did not follow a clearly defined trend throughout storage, although activity was higher at 5 than at 10 deg C. Ultrastructural observations are briefly described.
