Residual Effects of Sucrose and Hormonal Treatments of the Tuberization Medium on <i>in Vitro</i> Germination of Potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L.) Microtubers
Abstract:The residual effects of sucrose concentrations (80 or 100 g·L ], was also lower than that one (66.66%) observed in the medium without hormones. Aida and Atlas varieties thus offer a better germination rate than Odessa after their cold storage.
“…The culture medium chosen is that of Murashige and Skoog [8], in which the macroelements are halved (MS/2). This medium is recommended by several authors [9,10,11,12] and is autoclaved at 120°C for 20 minutes at a pressure of 1 bar, its pH is adjusted to 5.7 by NaOH and HCl (1N) solutions, then solidified by agar (7g Lˉ¹ ) and supplemented with 30 g of sucrose (case of the medium used during the Micropropagation phase). The volume of the medium is 10 ml/tube and 120 ml/jar.…”
This work investigates the interactive effect of six culture media and three photoperiods (darkness, 16h/8h, 8h/16h) on the microtuberization of four potato varieties (Spunta, Désirée, Kondor and Bartina). The objective is to determine the best tuberization under these growing conditions. The measured parameters which are related to the suitability of the tuberization characteristics are: the morphological aspects (shape, position) and the biometric ones (number and diameter of tubers). The obtained results permit to valorize the meristems that constitute the starting explant, and their good organogenetic skills to provide the first generation of micropropagation with healthy vitroplants in a sufficient quantity. Thus, the grown vitroplants on the medium (MS/2+BAP+COU) presented the best values which are related to the percentage of tuberization, the number of microtubercles / vitroplants and weight of tubers. Moreover, the Bartina genotype showed a remarkable superiority over its media and under a 16h/8h photoperiod except for the diameter of the tubers, where this genotype had the best diameter over the medium (MS/2+KIN) under an 8h photoperiod.

“…The microtubers were aseptically seeded in culture tubes filled with an 8% agarified MS (0) medium at pH 5.9 [9] and then incubated in the dark at different temperatures (Plate 1). The culture media were prepared and conditioned as previously described [10]. A Plate 1.…”
The microtuber is considered one of the most effective means of spreading basic materials, as well as transporting and preserving potato germplasm varieties. To define the optimal conditions for the potato microtuber in vitro germination of Aida, Atlas and Odessa varieties, the effects of temperature, physiological age and grade (size) were evaluated. The study conducted at three different temperature levels has demonstrated that the most favorable temperature for microtuber germination at a higher and faster germination rate was 25˚C, regardless of the variety. In addition, microtubers of large caliber, greater than 4 mm, germinate more quickly, with a higher germination rate, than smaller size ones (less than 4 mm) for all genotypes. For Atlas, Aida and Odessa varieties, a germination rate equal to 86.66%, 70% and 70% respectively, was obtained for microtubers with a caliber superior to 4 mm. Physiological age influences microtuber germination. The mean length of sprouts, reached after a 7 week incubation period, was more marked at "multiple sprout" and "branched sprout" stages than at a "monosprout" stage. The average length was 2.35 cm, 2.48 cm and 1.5 cm, respectively. Thus, it is necessary to plant microtubers at a "multiple sprout" stage to optimize their yield in plants and minitubers.
