In vitro tuberisation in six Indian potato cultivars

Six Indian commercial cultivars were used to study their response in producing in vitro microtubers. The average number ranged from 9–20 microtubers/250 ml flask in different cultivars in 8–10 weeks. The maximum 20 average number of microtubers/flask was observed in cv. Kufri Lauvkar and the minimum 9 average number in cv. Kufri Safed. But the maximum average microtuber weight 2.06 gms was found in cv. Kufri Badshah and minimum 0.65 gms in Kufri Safed.
