Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the main non-grain agricultural crops and one of the main sources of food for humanity. Currently, growing potatoes requires new approaches and methods for cultivation and breeding. Phenotyping is one of the important tools for assessing the characteristics of a potato variety. In this work, 29 potato varieties of different ripeness groups were studied. Linear leaf dimensions, leaf mass area, number of stems, number of tubers per plant, average tuber weight, signs of virus infection, dry weight, pigment content, and number of stomata per unit leaf area were used as phenotyping tools. The strongest positive relationship was found between yield and bush area in the stage of full shoots (R = 0.77, p = 0.001), linear dimensions of a complex leaf (R = 0.44, p = 0.002: R = 0.40, p = 0.003), number of stems (R = 0.36, p = 0.05), and resistance to viruses X (R = 0.42, p = 0.03) and S (R = 0.43, p = 0.02). An inverse relationship was found between growth dynamics and yield (R = &minus:0.29, p = 0.05). Thus, the use of morphological and physiological phenotyping tools in the field is informative for predicting key agricultural characteristics such as yield and/or stress resistance.
