Mineral elements are not synthesized by the plant. They must be acquired from the soil solution by the plant roots (Figure 5.3).Although tubers have associated roots, with the possible exception of Ca, these roots appear to supply only small amounts of minerals to tubers (Kratzke and Palta, 1985, 1986; Busse and Palta, 2006; Sowokinos, 2007).Most of the minerals present in potato …
