Effect of Gelling Agent on In vitro Tuberization of Potato

摘要

Virus –free plantlets of potato cultivar Spounta have been propagated on MS medium usingsingle-node cuttings. Shoots of plantlets were transferred into four tested media, i.e Wang and Hu (1982),Wattimena et al., (1983), Estrada et al., (1986) and Rosell et al., (1987) solid or liquid medium to evaluatemicrotuberization. The data indicated that medium of Estrada et al., (1986) was the best medium compared withthe others under solid or liquid medium. Liquid media produced heavier microtubers and a peak number ofmicrotuber than solid medium overall media used.
