Abstract:
The effect of three different growth regulators viz: Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA), Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) and Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) each at five concentration levels (0.0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.35) was evaluated on meristem culture of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) for production of virus-free plantlets. The parameters included were plantlet height, number of nodes/plantlet, number of leaves/plantlet, root length and number of roots/plantlet. Maximum plantlet height (9 cm) with NAA at 0.15 mg l-1, higher number of nodes/plantlet (9.714) with IBA at 0.35 mg l-1 and maximum number of leaves/plantlet (6.143) with IAA at 0.25 mg l-1 were recorded.
