In-vitro radiosensitivity and rapid propagation of potato through axillary bud culture
Description
The axillary buds of two varieties of potato, Cardinal and Ultimus, were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of cytokinins, auxin and GA3 for their rapid propagation. The results indicated that combination: kinetin 0.5 + NAA 0.1 + GA3 0.5 mg/l proved to be the best for regeneration of maximum number of plantlets. Moreover, the mortality rates at 30 Gray dose in the varieties Cardinal and Ultimus were 41.6 and 58.3 percent respectively and hence this dose was considered to be the optimum for further mutation experiments in potato
