Studying the morphological structures of starch granules in potato cells (Solanum tuberosum L.) by the method of confocal laser scanning microscopy

Relevance. Potato are one of the main sources of starch. Potato starch is widely used in human economic activities. The starch content in tubers, including the number of starch granules and their size and shape, are varietal characteristics. For this reason, it is important to identify potato varieties with starch grains suitable for starch production already at the early stages of breeding process.
