Effect of variety, harvest and storage time, defoliation and nitrogen application on the physical and biochemical properties of potato tubers in relation to bruise susceptibility
Bruising of potato tubers leads to losses of 20% of the UK annual crop. The relationship between bruising, tuber physical and mechanical properties, and composition of phenolic acids, tyrosine and cell wall monosaccharides was explored in this thesis. Three field trials were undertaken and the varie...
