Using NPK nanoparticles in multiplication and micro-tuber process of two potato variety (Solanum tuberosum L.) by using tissue culture techniques

Abstract

Micro-tubers which are produced in tissue culture have benefits for disease free potato production. The effects of NPK nano-particles on in vitro micro-propagation of two potato variety (Solanum tuberosum L.) were evaluated. In the present study nodal explants of potato cultivars (Sponta and Seylon) were cultured on MS basal medium supplemented with different NPK (9: 0: 6 + 1 Silver) Nano particles (control, 10 ml, 20 ml, 30 ml, 40 ml, and 50 ml).. Analysis control (30 ml) exhibited highest number of nodes (4.0) followed by analysis control 10 ml, 20 ml and 40 ml (3.0) in Seylon Variety. While, Analysis control (30 ml) exhibited highest number of nodes (5.0) followed by analysis control 10 ml and 20 ml (4.0) in Sponta Variety. The highest number of micro-tuber was observed in treatment 20 ml (6) followed by treatment 10 ml, and 30 ml (4) in Seylon Variety. The highest number of micro-tuber were observed in treatment 30 ml (10) followed by treatment 40 ml, 20 ml, and 50 ml (8, 6, 6) in Sponta Variety. [Eman. Ashraf, Sherif.f.
