IN VITRO TECHNIQUES AND MUTAGENESIS FOR THE GENETIC IMPROVEMENT OF POTATO CVS. DESIREE AND DIAMANT

HUMERA AFRASIAB1 AND JAVED IQBAL2*
Abstract

---

The aim of the present study was to get somaclonal variants and induced mutants of potato for desirable characters with special emphasis on yield and yield components in two cultivars of potato viz., Desiree and Diamant. Inter-nodal explants from both the cultivars were incubated for 14-20wks in callus inducing medium comprising MS salts supplemented with NAA (1.0mg/l) and BAP (0.5mg/l) for obtaining somaclonal variants. For mutation induction
