Abstract
A method for mass production of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) microtubers in 10 liter jar fermentors is described.
The system consists of two steps: 1) shoot multiplication and 2) tuber induction and development.
Tuberization is affected by a combination of environmental factors: 1. the medium volume, 2. the aeration rate, 3. the length of the culture period, 4. the periodicity of the submergence of the shoots, 5. stepwise changes in the maximum level of the medium, 6. refreshment of the medium.
A maximum of 1653 microtubers with a total fresh weight of 1420 was reached.
Of these tubers 30% weighed more than 1 gram.
Dry matter content of the microtubers was about 18%.
