Abstract
Potato shoots taken from sprouled tubers were cut into piecies
and propagated fa vitre an modified MS medium. The muttiplica-
tion rate of propagation was X 9 per month. Morphology of the
plantlets incubated in longer day length (16, 24 h) was desirable for
i vitro propagation, Cultures incubated over three months in
shorter day length (8 h) showed loss of apical dominance and pro-
duced erect scaly leaves but supported the growth to continue by
branching, However cultures incubated at longer day length indi-
cated reduced growth and produced mini aerial tubers on stolons
developed in leaf axis.
