Determination of the Morphological and Yield Characteristics of Old and New Meristem Stocks Used in Basic Seed Production in Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Abstract :
old meristem stocks of 9 potato clones belong to 3 potato genotypes obtained through meristem culture in 2006 and the new meristem stocks obtained from the tubers of the old stocks via meristem culture in 2011 were compared under the field conditions. Minitubers obtained from the in vitro seedlings of two groups were grown in a field trial arranged in the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in 2013 and 2014. The morphologic and yield characteristics were evaluated. When the old and the new stocks were compared there were no significant differences for the morphologic traits such as plant height (cm) stem number, leaf number, leaf width (cm) and length (cm) and yield traits such as tuber number, single tuber weight (g), hill yield (g), and plot yield (kg). Among the clones there were significant differences for all morphologic traits except leaf length (cm) and hill yield (g) and plot yield (kg) of yield traits.
