Leaf, seed, and tuber explants of C. latifolia were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP and IBA, alone or in combinations, to achieve in vitro plant regeneration. Subsequently, antioxidant and antibacterial activities were determined from in vitro and in vivo plant developed. No response was observed from seed culture on MS media with various concentrations o...

Abstract Obtaining high potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber yield through increased number and weight of quality tubers is important for farmers while the quality factors are of interest for food processing industries. Potato processing industries require high quality tubers having the highest possible dry matter, starch and protein contents. A two-year field study was carried out as a factoria...

One of the main obstacles in providing quality potato seed tubers is long dormancy period seeds. A study that explores this has been carried out to elucidate response release and initiation sprouts differences tuber weight storage duration before immersion cytokinin (6-benzylaminopurine). The was conducted at warehouse UPT Horticulture Parent Seed Kutagadung Berastagi, Department Food North Sum...

Dynamic resolution of seed and tuber protein samples is highly limited due to the presence of high-abundance storage proteins (SPs). These proteins inevitably obscure the low-abundance proteins (LAPs) impeding their identification and characterization. To facilitate the detection of LAPs, several methods have been developed during the past decade, enriching the proteome with extreme proteins. M...

The aim of this study was to examine factors affecting adoption of mini-tuber seed potato. Survey research design was used in this study. A sample of 100 potato growers who were informed about mini-tuber was selected and divided into adopter and non-adopter groups. Questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection and was validated by a panel of experts. A pilot study was conducted f...

An experiment was conducted at the research field of Tuber Crop Research Centre (TCRC) of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during the winter of 2006-2007 to determine the effects of cutting methods and seed size on the yield and profitability in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). It was observed that the foliage coverage, plant height, stems/hill, number and weight of tubers/plan...

Micropropagation and minituber production technology may enable the establishment of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) seed tuber certification programs in arid and semiarid regions of the world and reduce dependency on expensive seed tuber imports. Therefore, we investigated possible carry-over effects of moderate salt stress on the following production cycle. The yields of seed tuberand microtube...

Growth and yield of potato plants grown from several weight classes of whole "B" seed, unsorted "B" seed, and 56 g cut seed pieces were compared in Ohio in 1988 and 1989. Whole "B" seed classes were 8 g ranges with means of 35 g, 43 g, 51 g, and 58 g. Unsorted "B" seed was used as an experimental control. Treatment responses were inconsistent. Few significant differences were evident at bloom i...

controlled environment may be adopted for a rapid multiplication of a large number of potato seed tubers. the controlled environment prevents seed tuber degeneration which may occur under field conditions. the objective of this study was to introduce new mini-tuber production system with high multiplication rate and low production cost. to evaluate the performance of culture systems in terms of...
