“…This showed that kinetin is more important for microtuberization as compared to BAP. Similar findings were reported by Gopal et al (1998); Amma and Maity (1998) and Rodrigues-otubo et al (1999).…”

In vitro tuberization is becoming a swift approach to expedite seed tuber production and multiplication for various purposes such as germplasm conservation as well as exchange, experimentation in basic research, in vitro selection of desirable agronomic traits and disease free tuber production. Therefore, this study was designed for optimizing in vitro tuberization system using different photomixotrophic conditions in tissue culture regime. For this purpose, sucrose, BAP and kinetin were used at different levels and combinations for evaluating their effects on proficient and expedite in vitro tuberization system in selected local potato cultivars, PRI-Red. The results showed that tuberization medium, TM5 (100 g/l sucrose; 4.75 mg/l kinetin but deprived of BAP) proved to be best in terms of maximum number of microtubers per explant achieved. Subsequently, morphological, anatomical, physiological and biochemical characteristics of these in vitro grown microtubers were studied for evaluating the effects of photomixotrophic conditions on the said characteristics of microtubers.

“…In order to determine the exact factor(s) of microrhizome induction, the effects of light were examined, as the day length has been reported to play important role in in vitro induction of other storage organs such as tubers (Gopal et al 1998;Grewal et al 1996;Vreugdehil et al 1998) and bulbs (Slabbert and Niederwieser 1999). The tissues with two clonally propagated plantlets about 2 cm height were transferred to NK medium and cultivated under different light conditions described above, DFL condition, continuous dark, continuous light, short day condition and long day condition.…”

“…Struik and Lommen (1990) reported a delay of 6 weeks in ground cover development by using microtubers compared to normal seed potatoes. Gopal (1996) and Gopal et al (1998) reported that green tubers induced in a diffuse light photoperiod had more eyes, 6.0, than white microtubers, 3.5, induced in continuous darkness. A greater number of eyes per microtuber may result in better performance of crops grown from these microtubers (Gopal et al 1997).…”

Tuber yield of plants from three sizes of in vitro produced microtubers were compared to yields of plants from three sizes of greenhouse produced minitubers of Nicola and Russet Burbank. Microtubers were: small-size, 0.2-1.5 g; mid-size, 1.5-3.0 g; and large-size, >3.0 g. , and small-size minitubers gave the lowest tuber number, 409,375 tubers/ha −1. Regarding tuber yield, the type of tuber did not influence either cultivar. Nicola was influenced neither by type nor by size of tubers. Russet Burbank, however, was sensitive to size of tubers, especially, within minitubers. Large-size mini and microtubers were the most productive, 49 and 40 t ha −1
