Abstract
Influence of temperature during storage of seed potato tubers on growth and development of progeny plants was evaluated in the years 1986–2001 at the Plant Breeding and Acclimatization Institute, Department Jadwisin. Altogether, 54 potato cultivars were tested. Prior to planting, seed potatoes of these cultivars were stored in a store-house at 2°, 6° and 10°C, and at RH above 90%. During the vegetation seasons, rate of plants emergence, percentage of missing plants and a number of stems per plant were estimated. It was found that storage conditions largely influenced the physiological state of mother tubers. With decreasing temperature the percentage of blanks in the field increased. All the trials showed that the proportion of missing plants was a very important measure to evaluate physiological quality of seed tubers. Moreover, in the case of cultivars showing a very high rate of physiological ageing during long-term storage, the proportion of missing plants in plantation was significantly correlated with optimal storage temperature.
