The influence of the group of maturity of potato varieties in the process of replication of plants in vitro

Abstract

One of the main criteria for effective primary seed production is the use of starting material obtained by
biotechnological methods. A fundamental element in ensuring planable buildup of sufficient volumes of microplants while
maintaining the quality characteristics in the replication process is the development of a program for accelerated clonal micro
propagation. In the process of replicating and growing original seed material, the period of compliance of micro-plants with
the requirements of the standard is of great importance. The article presents a study of the influence of the variety ripeness
group on the speed of the morphogenesis process; this is of practical importance for the compilation of programs for clonal
micropropagation in industrial laboratories. The study of this indicator in 14 potato varieties of different groups of ripeness
showed that the formation of morphological structures was directly dependent on the varietal characteristics. The analysis of
the regenerative capacity allows us to note that the effectiveness of the formation of morphological structures did not depend
on the ripeness group of the studied variety samples.
