Abstract

One-, two- and three-step methods of plant regeneration from stem culture of potato cv. Delaware were tested as methods for producing plant material for gene transformation. Results showed that the one-step procedure using thidiazuron, a synthetic cytokinin, was the best for rapid plant regeneration. In this culture medium, several buds and shoots were regenerated from stem culture, while the other methods using a culture medium supplemented with combinations of GA, BAP [benzyladenine], NAA, zeatin, 2ip [isopentenyladenine] and IAA produced white and green callus. Morphology and chromosome number of all regenerated plants were similar to the original plants. Results showed that the regeneration system was suitable for cv. Delaware and that the culture conditions prevented genetic variation of the regenerated plants.
