Influence of the complex of vitamins Pikovit in culture in vitro on the growth and development of potato microplants

Abstract

In the conditions of the North-West zone of Russia, studies of Pikovit vitamin complex preparation were carried out. Since the main way to obtain a healthy seed is clonal micropropagation. Therefore, in the course of the work, the process and method of clonal micropropagation of Russian potato varieties using new preparations were improved, the selection of nutrient media at all stages of cultivation was carried out with the Pikovit preparation at the concentration of 0.5 to 1.5 mg/l. As a result, it was found that use of the Pikovit vitamin complex has a positive effect on the ontogenesis of potato microplants. To obtain well-developed microplants of the early variety Liga, the most optimal concentration is 1.5 mg/l. For other studied varieties of the mid-ripening group Aurora and Gusar, the nutrient medium with the addition of vitamins at the concentration of 1.0 mg/l was optimal.
