Abstract

Greenhouse-grown 'Kennebec' and 'Atlantic' potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants were exposed twice-weekly for 5 hours to 380 μg.m^-3 (0.2 ppm) NO₂ throughout their growing season. NO₂ accelerated the rate of leaf abscission and reduced tuber number, weight, and dry matter percentage. NO₂ was absorbed by exposed plants, as reflected by an increase in leaf total N content, but did not affect the total glycoalkaloid (tga) status of potato foliage or tubers.
