Description

The effects of gamma irradiation and cold storage on the mitotic activity and electrophoretic patterns of soluble proteins in the buds of potato tubers were studied. Although gamma irradiation and cold storage did not significantly affect the mitotic index of emergent sprout, both were effective in prolonging bud dormancy. Sprouting was characterized by changes in the levels and electrophoretic patterns of soluble protein proteins in bud. (Auth.)
