The effects of cultivation conditions on polyphenol compounds levels in potato tubers periderm in varieties differing in their susceptibility to common scab
Krištůfek, Václav ; Diviš, J. ; Dostálková, I.
Field and glasshouse trials were performed in 2000 and 2001 to estimate total polyphenol contents in 15 potato cultivars from two sites that differed in the level of scab incidence. Polyphenol content was determined spectrophotometrically by Folin-Ciocalteau reagent at a wavelength 765 nm in tuber peelings of cultivars less and more susceptible to common scab. The polyphenol content of tuber peeling was influenced by cultivar, site, year and age of tuber periderm and was not influenced by maturity. The highest polyphenol content was observed in potato cultivars less susceptible to the scab. Regression analysis showed that negative relation occurs between polyphenol content and potato scab incidence (P=0,006). The polyphenol content significantly decreased during vegetative period.
