Abstract:

Potato is one of the most important crops in the world. Tuber is the commercial product of potato, whereas tuber greening seriously affects product quality and results in a large amount of potatoes waste. It is very necessary to establish a convenient evaluation method of tuber greening for the identification of potato germplasm resources and the analysis of tuber quality. In this study, we systematically evaluated the greening trend and greening degree of 15 potato tetraploid and diploid varieties (lines) base on the extraction of tuber color space characteristics and RGB color space color difference. Zhongshu 2, Zhongshu 18, Zhongshu 19, Atlantic, Favorita, and Kondor appeared faster greening speed, but HS66 appeared slower greening speed under 25℃ and 125 μmol m-2 s-1. Color difference value of tubers of all potato varieties (lines) tended to the stability after 9 days lighting treatment. There was an obvious greening extent differences among potato varieties (lines). Among them, the afforestation degree of Favorita was the highest, whereas Zhongshu 28 was the lowest after 13 days lighting treatment. The method established in this study can accurately distinguish the greening speed and the extent of different varieties (lines), which provided a convenient and reliable technical reference for tuber greening evaluation.

Key words: potato, tuber, greening, RGB color features, color difference analysis
