Glassy potatoes are primarily caused by a physiological disorder known as "internal necrosis" or "glassy skin." This condition occurs when potatoes are exposed to stress factors such as inconsistent moisture levels, nutrient imbalances, or extreme temperatures. The affected potatoes develop a translucent, glassy appearance due to the breakdown of cell structure. While not a disease caused by pathogens, it can impact the quality and marketability of the potatoes.
Glassy potatoes are typically caused by environmental stressors, particularly low temperatures during the growing season. This stress can lead to a high concentration of sugars in the tubers, resulting in a glassy or translucent appearance. Additionally, factors such as nutrient deficiencies, especially in potassium, and certain diseases can also contribute to this condition. Proper management of growing conditions can help mitigate the occurrence of glassy potatoes.
harmful mutation
Sweet potatoes can develop holes inside them due to insect damage or disease, which can create tunnels or cavities within the potato.
Possible causes of glassy eyes in cats include eye infections, allergies, trauma, glaucoma, cataracts, and other eye diseases. It is important to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

During the 1840s, potato blight affected potatoes in Ireland, causing a famine.
No, not all potatoes can be used as seed potatoes. Only certified disease-free potatoes should be used as seed potatoes for planting.
Chytridiomycota cause chytridiomycosis in amphibians, a serious disease that has damaged amphibian populations across the globe. The species of chytridiomycota that causes disease in amphibians is Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Chitridiomycota also infect maize and corn, and the species Synchytrium endobioticumcauses disease in potatoes.
Raw potatoes can be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella and other disease-causing organisms are found in soil and potatoes are grown in soil.
I never heard that you could have some disease from eating potatoes - except for weight problems when they are cooked with too much fat (fries, etc..)
The glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis) originally comes from the southeastern United States and parts of Mexico. It has since spread to other regions, including California, where it is considered a significant agricultural pest. This sharpshooter is known for transmitting the bacterium that causes Pierce's disease in grapevines, posing a threat to vineyards. Its adaptability and ability to thrive in various environments have facilitated its expansion.
