Abstract
The effect of light-induced greening of microtubers on their storage b ehaviour was studied in 16 genotypes of potato. Greening improved the storage of microtubers in terms of shrinkage, biomass loss and sprout emergence. A significant genotype x treatment interaction for shrinkag e was observed.
