Abstract:Traditional small potato cultivars of North Eastern region of India are an important food source, but no documentation is availableregarding their ploidy level and nutritional worth. The study was undertaken to explore these cultivars to determine their ploidy levelby flow cytometry method. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) based method was used for the analysis of ploidy level and theknown diploid potato clone Solanum chacoense was used as the reference clone. The ploidy level of these cultivars was d… Show more
