Variations observed in the respiratory activity of potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L.) after a treatment with gamma radiation

Creators

Description

The variations in the respiratory activity of irradiated and IPC treated potato tubers during a storage period of five months have been studied. By immediate effect of gamma radiation, an increase in the oxigen consumption of the parenchyma in relation with the control tubers has been observed. Such increase persits even four months after gamma radiation. The respiratory activity is reduced in the IPC treated tubers. In the tissues cultivated ''in vitro'' the respiratory activity increases at the end of the cultivation period, not only in the control tissues but also in the irradiated ones, though this increase is greater in the control tissues.(author)

Abstract (Spanish)

Se estudian las variaciones en la actividad respiratoria de tuberculos de patata irradiados y tratados con IPC, durante un periodo de cinco meses. Por efecto inmediato de la irradiacion se aprecia el incremento respecto al testigo en el consumo de oxigeno del parenquima que persiste hasta incluso cuatro meses despues de la irradiacion. En los tuberculos tratados con IPC se reduce la actividad respiratoria por efecto del tratamiento. En los tejidos cultivados ''in vitro'' ocurre un aumento en la actividad respiratoria al final del periodo de cultivo, tanto en los tejidos testigo como en los irradiados, si bien este aumento es mas acusado en los testigo.
