| Abstract: | 2557 chicory roots from 13 cultivars were analysed individually for root weight, root shape, total fructose, total glucose, potassium and amino-N contents. Fructose yield is highly correlated with root weight and slightly with fructose content, both at the inter- and intra-varietal levels. The comparison of total-sample correlations to between- and within-variation correlations suggests an important genetic variation within varieties. |
