The Effect of Various Nutrient Media on Microtuber Production in Potato (solanum tuberosum L.) Under in vitro Condition
Gülsüm Öztürk, Zihin Yıldırım
Abstract
The effect of various growth media on the microtuberization of 4 potato genotypes ( Nif,Clone 122, Agria and Resy) was studied under in vitro conditions. Plantlets obtained by meristem culture were micropropagated by transferring into node culture. They were cultured in 3 different solid media to produce microtubers. Tuber number, single tuber weight and tuber yield were recorded for the genotypes tested. The highest microtuber number (2.8), microtuber yield (278.1 mg) and single microtuber weight (92.2 mg) were obtained in the medium containing MS+2 mg/1 BAP and 60 g sucroz.

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.
