PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH HARDCORE DEVELOPMENT IN SWEETPOTATOES
Keyword(s):
Storage roots of `Jewel', `Centennial' and `Beauregard' were chilled at 5C for 0, 10, 20, 30 or 40 days. After chilling, the roots were placed at 21C for two days to allow hardcore development. Hardcore was measured as weight of root that remain hard after boiling for 45 minutes. Hardcore and fatty acid composition of total lipids were compared for the three cultivars. Hardcore was present at 10 days in both `Jewel ' and `Centennial' and at 20 days for `Beauregard'. Severity of hardcore increased with time of chilling. Linoleic acid content of 'Beauregard ' was higher for the 0, 10, and 20 day sampling periods, and decreased to a level equal to that found in 'Jewel ' and `Centennial'.
