Sažetak
Potato is the first major food crop where biotechnology has been successfully applied. The in vitro produced disease-free plants, haploid and somatic hybrids, plants resistant to blight, viruses, herbicides and the microtubers produced in test tubes have been moved from the laboratory to the field and propagated on a large scale in many countries. Meristem culture was an approach successfully adopted and applied to obtain virus-free potato stocks. Althoug, potato micropropagation was developed in Croatia twenty years ago, the in vitro meristem-derived disease-free potato plants has not been established for the production of clean seed potatoes which were planted over large areas. Here, for ten commercial cultivars a micropropagation protocol, stringent selection of virus-tested plantlets, microtubers production and successful transfer of plant to the sils were demonstrated.
