Abstract: | Second growth is an important physiological disorder of thepotato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plant. A model system to studysecond growth was developed using one-leaf cuttings. Photoperiod,temperature, decapitation and leaf removal treatments were carriedout on the plants from which the cuttings were taken and onthe cuttings themselves. Tuberized, one-leaf cuttings takenfrom moderately-induced plants and exposed to 35 °C afterleaf removal showed 95% second growth within 10 d after treatmentinitiation. Conditions that promoted second growth also reducedstarch and dry-matter content, even in tubers that did not developsecond growth.
