Abstract

Brown center and hollow heart are physiological disorders of the potato tuber. Brown center is characterized by a region of cell death in the pith of the tuber which results in brown tissue. Hollow heart is characterized by a star shape hollow in the center of the tuber. Brown center frequently precedes the development of hollow heart. Neither disorder is initiated by a disease organism.
