Corazón hueco. El desarrollo de cavidades en el interior del tubérculo puede ser muy pequeño u ocupar toda el área de la pulpa, asimismo, es posible encontrar uno o varios "huecos" en cualquier parte del tubérculo. En la pared de la cavidad, ocasionalmente se puede formar una capa suberizada, parecida a la piel del tubérculo. El corazón hueco está asociado con periodos de rápido crecimiento del tubérculo y deficiencia de potasio. Las temperaturas frescas del suelo durante el inicio de la formación del tubérculo producen en la pulpa del tubérculo un centro café. 3, record 1, Spanish, - coraz%C3%B3n%20hueco
