Marfona. Study has actualized as 4 main steps; shoot formation of the tubers of S. tuberosum, in vitro shoot-tip culture, micropropagation and microtuberization. The effects of JA (0.0-0.2 mgL-1), agar (0.5% or 0.7%), AC (0 and 0.2%) microtuberization were investigated. The highest microtuber yield (137%) and the highest microtuber average (183 mg/tuber) were obtained at the double-layer Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium which contains 0.2% AC, 0.5% agar under darkness conditions. It has been determined that positive effect of AC on microtuber formation is higher than JA. AC was found much more effective in the dark. <br /> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Van Yuzuncu Yıl University}
