In potato tubers of four cultivars, the impact of drought and waterlogging stress on total carotenoid content (TCC) and individual carotenoids profile variance and total carotenoids, chlorophylls (a, b, a + b) content in leaves during period 71 days of stress in two-year pot greenhouse experiments were investigated. The different response between potato cultivars was observed after exposure to drought stress (an increase of TCC was in Marabel and Laura cultivars) and after waterlogging stress (in Milva and Marabel cultivars). On average, of all cultivars, both drought and waterlogging stresses caused total carotenoid content to increase with a higher impact of drought stress. In potato tubers, eight carotenoids were identified with the most represented violaxanthin, luteoxanthin, antheroxanthin and lutein. Significant differences in individual carotenoid amounts between cultivars have been determined. On average, drought and waterlogging stresses of all cultivars significantly increased contents of violaxanthin, 9'-(Z)-neoxanthin and luteoxanthin, while antheraxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin levels decreased. In leaves, both abiotic stresses decreased chlorophyll contents (a, b, a + b) with a very destructive impact of drought stress. While carotenoids accumulated in tubers as a result of stress, the opposite trend was characteristic in leaves, where their content decreased depending on the duration of stress.
