Abstract: A comparison study about anatomical and nutritional characteristics of potato between hollow center and normal one was carried out. The result showed that the cells of outer pith were bigger than that of inner pith for all kind of potato. But outer pith cell of hollow center potato was bigger than that of normal one, and the cell wall was thicker. But the wall of pith cell was thiner than that of normal one. The content of starch,protein, N, P, K and Mg in hollow center potato was lower than that of normal one,and the difference of K and Mg content was significant and the content of soluble sugar and reducing sugar in hollow center tuber was higher than that in normal one.
