Abstract
A simple reproducible procedure is described for assessing frost injury of potato foliage, involving controlled freezing of excised leaflets and measurement of leached electrolytes. Test results are shown for 5 tuber-bearing Solarium species representing a wide range of frost tolerance. The test can be used in selection and breeding for frost tolerance in potato.Keywords
