The Effects of BAP with NAA and IBA on Microtuberization of in vitro Grown Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) under Different Photoperiod Conditions
Abstract
The present research was carried out to determine the effect of benzyl aminopurine (BAP) with α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) combinations on the microtuberization of Pasinler, Granola and Caspar potato genotypes using stem segments with single nodes. Explants were incubated at two different photoperiod conditions such as short day (8 hours daylight) and continuous dark. Observations from the microtuber characteristics were examined in this article. Microtuberization started earlier under continiuous dark (50.98 days) than short days (55.88 days) conditions. Higher number of microtubers per plantlets was determined on continuous dark (2.94) than 8 hours photoperiod (2.35). Total microtuber weight was also higher under continuous dark (432.02 mg) than short day (389.13 mg) although differences between them were insigni cant. Presented results showed that the effect of continuous dark was more dominant than short days and the in uence of control treatment including only 8%sucrose and combination of BAP+IBA was more pronounced compared to other hormonal treatments. Findings of the research also revealed that the effect of PGRs on plantlet characteristics studied was variable depending on the genotype.
