“…Potato can be easily micropropagated (Roca et al ., 1978 ;Novak et al ., 1980 ;Goodwin et al ., 1980 ;Copeland, 1982 ;Espinoza et al ., 1986) . Micropropagated plants, when cultured under suitable conditions, produce in vitro micro-tubers (Wang & Hu, 1982 ;Wattimena et al ., 1983., Hussey & Stacey, 1984Estrada et al ., 1986) .…”

Production of mini-tubers as a source for seed potato was investigated by growing in soil micropropagated plants and micro-tubers produced from micropropagated plants . Cultures of several cultivars were initiated from indexed tubers and multiplied on modified MS medium . Cultures were micropropagated by using a modular system which allowed batch handling . Micropropagated plants produced mini-tubers in glasshouse after 70-115 days of growth in soil . A large proportion of the mini-tubers produced were between 9 and 15 mm diameter . Several factors, e.g ., explant number, duration of in vitro culture and genotype influenced mini-tubers production . Micropropagated plants after culture of 86 days or longer produced micro-tubers ca . 2 to 10 mm diameter. Plants, which formed micro-tubers in vitro, produced less number of mini-tubers in soil . Micro-tubers produced 1 to 3 mini-tubers when grown in soil in chain-type paper pots, but produced conventional sized tubers when grown in soil under plastic polytunnel . Mini-tuber number varied widely between potato cultivars ; cvs. Bintje and British Queen produced more mini-tubers than the other cultivars . Mini-tubers developed green hard skins when kept in light for 3 weeks, and could be stored in dark at 4° C upto 6 months . In a field trial, small mini-tubers ca . 5-10 mm diameter produced more but smaller tubers than mini-tubers ca . 15-20 mm diameter. The micropropagated plants and the plants grown from mini-tubers were genetically stable, and did not show any morphological aberrations except for one variegated plant among the several thousand produced . It is concluded that the production of mini-tubers by soil planting of micropropagated plants is a rapid and efficient method for producing seed potato tubers .

“…The process was repeated until the required number of plantlets for in vitro tuberization experiments, photoautotrophic culturing and/or in vitro storage experiments, was achieved. The in vitro phase was not studied here as such, nor was the low-temperature storage of the in vitro stock material, since the procedures had already been developed (Goodwin et al, 1980;Hussey & Stacey, 1981), optimised (Marinus, 1985) and successfully applied (AAFC, 1996) in the commercial production of in vitro plantlets and in conventional conservation of plant germplasm (Bessembinder et al, 1993;Withers & Engelmann, 1998). However, the environmental conditions (for example CO2 enrichment and/or low red light) applied during the in vitro phase and/or in vitro low temperature storage may have a significant effect on the plantlet growth and the regeneration capacity of the stored cultures.…”

“…However, the conventional seed tuber production system has several potential problems, since the seed tubers are successively produced from other seed tubers, which over the long period of time leads to high incidence of seed-borne diseases and occurrence of tubers not carrying all characteristics of the parent plant. Potato plants can be produced from other types of propagation material including protoplasts, callus and explants from different tissues (Evans et a/., 1981), dissected meristems (Wang & Hu, 1980), cuttings or stem segments (i.e., shoot tips, nodal cuttings (Goodwin et al 1980; Bryan et al, 1981), stem cuttings and true potato seeds (Umaerus, 1987).Since the genetic stability and the production of uniform, true-to-type plant material is important for the industry, the multiplication methods which utilize nodal or apical cuttings and tubers are preferred in seed potato production. New plants are produced from existing buds assuring identical genetic make-up of the parent plants .…”

AbstractPruski, Krzysztof, 2001. Micropropagation technology in early phases of commercial seed potato production. PhD thesis, Wageningen University and Research Centre, Wageningen, The Netherlands, 166 pp., English and Dutch summaries.Micropropagation (in vitro propagation) has been introduced to seed potato production programmes more than two decades ago. The research reported in this thesis studied possibilities of improvements to micropropagation methods commonly used in commercial laboratories. The focus was placed on seed potato growers in Western Canada who either produce the tissue culture plant material themselves and use it for the production of minitubers (nuclear tubers) in their own operations, or acquire it prior to planting. The autotrophic micropropagation (in C0 2 (1500 ppm) enriched atmosphere, no sucrose in the medium) of Russet Burbank variety showed its usefulness for the small commercial laboratories where often the full sterility is difficult to maintain. Autotrophically grown cultures produced stems very similar to conventionally grown in vitro cultures (no significant differences in length, number of nodes and dry weight). Also, the conventionally propagated cultures benefited from CO2 enrichment during the 4 week growing period by a 20% increase in the number of nodes per stem and a 50% increase in stem dry weight (doubled stem length).The use of continuous low red light (690 nm) at 3 uxnol nf 2 s~l PPFD and 30 g f~' sucrose in the medium during the in vitro low temperature (4°C) storage of potato cultures were beneficial for maintenance of vigorous, high quality cultures with a high re-grow capacity. In small tissue culture laboratories, installation of a simple low light device in the regular refrigerator would improve maintenance of the high quality of the stored cultures.Significantly better production of microtubers (number of tubers and weight) was observed on solid (agar) than on liquid media, and under the 8 h photoper...

“…Potato plants are readily propagated in vitro (Goodwin et al, 1980;Espinoza et al, 1986;Ahloowalia, 1988) and when culture is carried out under suitable growth conditions of medium and photoperiod, potato plants produce microtubers (diameter range from 2-10 mm). These represent a suitable material both to be introduced into the tuber seed production system and also for germplasm exchange (van der Zaag, 1990;Estrada et al, 1986;Vecchio et al, 1991;Haverkort et al, 1991;Desir6 et al, 1995).…”

SummaryThe effect of growth conditions (medium and photoperiod) on in vitro tuberisation and microtuber dormancy of the cv. D6sirfe (Solanum tuberosum subspecies tuberosum) and Imilla Negra (Solanum tuberosum subspecies andigena) was evaluated. The short photoperiod and presence of CCC in the medium reduced the dry matter of plants as well as the size of microtubers. The two cultivars showed a difference, in favour of D6sir6e, in the percentage of plants having more than one tuber and in the average time of sprouting after storage. The average time of sprouting was more rapidly obtained under long days and in a medium without CCC. The CCC and short days caused the same dormancy conditions and the same K + quantity in the microtubers. The microtubers mineral composition is involved in the dormancy status.
