| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted at the cold storage unit, of Horticulture Department, Agriculture College, Baghdad University, during the 2000/2001 and 2001 / 2002 seasons. The storage work were carried out on potato tubers Desiree Cv., in this storage experiment tubers were exposed to Gamma radiation as (Co-60) source with four doses: 0, 15, 30 and 60 Gray in the first season and 0, 7.5, 15, 30 and 60 Gray in the second season. The potato tubers were stored in three different storage temperatures: 5±1°C, 10±1°C and moist ventilated storage 9- 30°C. Gamma radiation with 60 Gray significantly decreased each of apical dominance, sprouting, sprouts fresh weight, weight loss, decay and IAA concentration, while increased the phenolic compounds in tubers. The 5°C storage temperature significantly decreased each of the apical dominance, sprouting, sprouts fresh weight, weight loss and decay but it increased the phenolic compounds in acomparsion with the moist ventilated storage while 10°C storage temperature increased sprouting signifisantly. | ||
