Abstract
This chapter attempts to provide a description of the structure of the potato plant, including both external morphology and internal anatomy. Since the existing literature appeared to be particularly deficient on developmental aspects, some re-examination of early stages of development has been made where possible. Notwithstanding the considerable morphological and anatomical literature, it is clear that the structure and development of the potato, admittedly a very complex plant, is by no means fully understood: strangely enough, this applies particularly to the development of the tuber, despite its economic importance. There is considerable scope for further work in this field.
