ADVENTITIOUS SHOOT REGENERATION FROM PETIOLES WITH LEAFLETS IN POTATO (Solanum tuberosum L)
N. Vilda ŞAHİN, Tolga YILDIRIM, Zihin YILDIRIM
Abstract
Adventitious shoot regeneration of 4 potato genotypes in 4 different regeneration media (RM) was studied. Petioles with leaflets obtained from node culture were used as explants and adventitious shoot formation and rooting of shoots were observed. Results showed significant genotype differences but no difference among RM for shoot production was found. Rooting of adventitious shoots was highly affected RM. Genotype Nif gave the highest means for number of shoots (4.6), number of roots (4.7) and total number of shoots (13.9).

Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N,
15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial
design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar
(‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora
II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and
yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on
productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein
yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein
yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively.
Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars
regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick
treatment.
