Abstract
Abstract The effect of plant to plant variation and root size, weight, and location on storage root surface terpene chemistry of Centennial sweetpotato was investigated under field conditions. In plants grown in pots, the magnitude of the variation in concentration of boehmerol and boehmeryl acetate between plants in different pots, plants within pots, roots from a single plant, and location on individual roots was evaluated. Significant differences in boehmerol or boehmeryl acetate due to storage root location order along the axis of the underground stem were found for some individual plants, but the trend was not consistent among plants. A similar response was found for the distance down the underground stem at which the storage root was attached. Differences in surface chemistry between roots from a single plant appeared to be controlled by factors other than location along the main axis. Storage root length to diameter ratio accounted for 42% of the variation in boehmerol. The inverse of root density ...
