Influence of Nitrogen Supply of Potato Plantlets on In Vitro Tuberization Pattern under Inductive and Non-inductive Conditions

Abstract: The effects of nitrogen supply of in vitro plantlets on subsequent in vitro tuberization were examined in three potato varieties. In vitro plantlets were raised on MS media with varying amounts of ammonium nitrate, resulting in 70, 80, 100, 120 and 160% of the standard N content in MS medium and various nitrate : ammonium ratios. Tuberization was induced by adding an 8% sucrose solution to 4-week old plantlets and keeping them 2 weeks under short or long days (8 and 16 h illumination per day, respectively), fo… Show more

“…It has been known that various environmental and endogenous factors influence tuberization (Nookaraju et al ). A large number of studies have shown that short photoperiod, high light intensity, low temperature, low nitrogen levels and high sucrose levels can promote tuberization (Dobránzki et al , Tadesse et al , EL‐Sawy et al , Dobránszki and Tábori ). Phytohormones also play a crucial role in regulating the morphological events of tuberization (Aksenova et al , Roumeliotis et al ).…”

“…This activity was influenced by the nitrogen content in the growth medium. High concentration of nitrogen was favorable to yielding larger microtuber (Dobranszki et al, 2008). The distal part could be played the role of front-door for almost nutriments in the tuber and the two other parts an accumulation zone.…”

“…Micro tubers offer advantages of small space accommodation, ease of transport and storage in addition to solving the problems of transplanting of plantlets [27]. Micro tubers are also useful in other applications, including germplasm storage and exchange, or as experimental research tools in the areas of plant metabolism, germplasm selection and evaluation, transformation, somatic hybridization or molecular farming, and for in vitro selection of agronomical important characteristics, such as maturity and abiotic stress tolerance [28]. It was indicated that micro tuber induction of potato was highly dependent on sucrose and genotype interaction [29].…”
