Summary

Metabolism of labelled precursors by potato tubers from 2 cultivars with high (cv. Record) or low (cv. Brodick) capacity for cold-induced sweetening was investigated. Genotypic differences were observed in the partitioning of metabolized label between starch and sucrose at low temperature. It is concluded that low storage temperature has a detrimental effect on glycolytic metabolism by potato tubers.
