Abstract

This paper describes a reproducible method for the induction of in vitro potato tubers in a wide range of genotypes. These in vitro tubers could be induced in all genotypes tested and show striking similarity to field produced tubers. In vitro tubers may prove most useful as material for International germplasm distribution.
