Number, length and distribution of buds and sprouts on tubers of lines K, K52 and K53 stored for 48 weeks at 4 °C. a General aspect of K and K52 tubers after storage, showing well developed sprouts and visible skin deterioration on tubers of the control line. b Mean length of buds and sprouts at the surface of stored tubers. c Number and distribution of buds and sprouts on the apical (black bars) and basal (grey bars) halves of stored tubers. Each bar on panels (b) and (c) is the mean of six biological (tuber) replicate values ± sd. On each panel, bars with a different letter are significantly different (post-anova Tukey’s test, P < 0.05)
