Site conditions and genotype influence polyphenol content in potatoes

The effect of potato variety (1 purple and 8 yellow varieties), site conditions (5 localities tested) and mineral fertilization (4 variants with N, P, K and Mg) on the concentration of total polyphenols (TP) in potato tubers was investigated during two years (2005 and 2006). TP concentrations were i...

Description
Summary:The effect of potato variety (1 purple and 8 yellow varieties), site conditions (5 localities tested) and mineral fertilization (4 variants with N, P, K and Mg) on the concentration of total polyphenols (TP) in potato tubers was investigated during two years (2005 and 2006). TP concentrations were influenced mainly by potato genotypes, but also by the locality. On the contrary, they were not significantly affected by the fertilization. The highest TP concentrations were determined in the purple flesh Valfi variety; they were by 74 to 141% on average higher than those in yellow flesh varieties during the two years, respectively. In yellow flesh tubers, the highest TP concentration was recorded in the variety Ditta; it was higher by 38, 29 and 24% than in Saturna, Agria and Asterix varieties, respectively. The differences between the localities studied were due mainly to the temperature during the vegetation period. Potatoes from the locality with the lowest temperatures had TP concentrations by 5.7 to 56.3% higher than tubers from the other localities.
