The morphological development and response to storage of two varieties of carrots, both healthy and aster yellows-diseased, were evaluated using the scanning electron microscope. Instrumental textural profiles were evaluated for samples stored two weeks and then cooked by three different methods. Morphological and textural differences were found between the varieties of carrots, and these were attributed to differences in growth rates. Diseased carrots had unique cellular development but, except for the hardness parameter, showed few differences in textural properties when compared to healthy carrots.
