Sažetak
Potato is the first major 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 microtubers produced in test tubes have been moved from the laboratory to the field and propagated on a large scale in many countries. Meristem cultures was an approach successfully adopted and applied to obtain virus-free potato stocks. Here, for eleven commercial cultivars a micropropagation protocol, stringent selection of virus-tested plantlets, and successful transfer of plants to the soil were demonstrated.
