Abstract:

To clarify the effect of callus treatment on the quality of sweet potato,provide a theoretical basis for high quality storage of sweet potato.Two edible varieties of sweet potato were stored and taken at different storage periods(0,7,15,30,60 and 90 d).Different degree of injury were carried out on them.The experiment was divided into four treatments: CK, high temperature callus,callus after shallow injury,and callus after deep injury.Then put materials in an incubator with relative humidity of 85% at 35 ℃ for 48 h to healing the wound.The diameter of soft rot spots,the activity of epidermal defense enzymes(PPO,POD,PAL)and the content of nutrients in potato pieces were measured.The results showed that the spot diameter of sweet potato root increased with the extension of storage period after inoculation of Rhizopus stolonifera. Sweet potato treated with callus was more resistant to soft rot than sweet potato stored in ordinary environment.After storage for 90 days,the diffusion diameter of soft rot spots of the two varieties after callus treatment with shallow injury was only 74.6% and 71.1% of that of the control treatment.At the early stage of storage, the activity of defense enzymes in each treatment remained at a high level from 0 to 30 d. After 90 d of storage, the activity of defense enzymes after callus injury treatment was significantly higher than that of control treatment. At 60 d of storage, the sucrose content of root tuber of two varieties with treatments of callus after shallow and deep injury was significantly higher than that of CK. Callus treatment of sweet potato after different degrees of injury during storage period can significantly increase the activity of defense enzymes in sweet potato epidermis,reduce the spread speed of soft rot infection,and improve the resistance of sweet potato to soft rot.The degree of injury had influence on the callus effect of sweet potato.The callus after shallow injury was better than that of deep injury in terms of defense enzyme activity and storage quality.
