Abstract
The physiological based mathematical model describing the storage beha viour of potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers was examined to determine i ts ability to explain the changing storage behaviour as a function of harvest time for ten different cultivars. Between 90 to 98% of the obs erved variance was accounted for. This confirmed the models concept th at the maturity at time of harvest determines the storage behaviour th rough the initial amount of the enzyme (or enzyme system) responsible for cold induced sweetening.
