This study reports the comparative effects of catechol, eight related compounds, and two other chemicals upon suberization of cut potato tubers. 2. All the ortho-dihydric phenols used except protocatechuic acid stimulated the formation of a thicker suberized layer than was found in the controls. 3. Resorcinol, a meta-dihydric phenol, inhibited suberization, apparently by its effect on tyrosinase. 4. Catechol, an ortho-dihydric phenol, was found to be the most effective compound for stimulating wound-healing actions in Bliss Triumph tubers.
