It is now widely accepted that calcium (Ca) deficiency is linked to potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber disorders and improved tuber health is expected through increased Ca availability. The purpose of this study was to optimize the Ca concentration in Murashige-Skoog (MS) basal medium for microtuber production and determine microtuber mineral composition, especially Ca content. The response of...

the experiment was conducted to study the effect of photoperiod and hormones on production of microtubers for two potato cultivars (sante and savalan), which were clean and pathogens free. this experiment was performed as a factorial experiment based on randomized design with three replications. the results showed that cultivar, hormone and photoperiod would effect on all studied traits. sante ...

Micropropagation and minituber production technology may enable the establishment of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) seed tuber certification programs in arid and semiarid regions of the world and reduce dependency on expensive seed tuber imports. Therefore, we investigated possible carry-over effects of moderate salt stress on the following production cycle. The yields of seed tuberand microtube...
