Somaclonal variation in potato meristem culture and possibility to use this phenomenon in seed potato production and breeding
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: Regenerated plantlets obtained through virus-eradic ation procedure were preserved as meristem clones in vitro . The progeny of each meristem was the basis for me ristem clone. We studied somaclonal variation of meristem clones of the new potato variety Reet created at the Jogeva Plant Breeding Institute (PBI). The aim was to investigate the effect of thermotherapy on variability of potato meristem clo nes. The results showed that meristem clones differed in yield, number and weight of tube rs and late blight resistance. The research provided new information about the effect of thermo therapy. For the first time we detected deviation from true-to-type in morphological charac teristics of meristem clones.
