Abstract:

In order to improve the quality of virus-free potato seedlings and optimize potato seedlings production, the application of sugar free culture in rapid propagation of virus-free potato seedlings was studied. The virus-free plantlets of potato early maturing variety ‘Atlantic’ were used as materials. The results showed that after 25 days of sugar free culture, the plant height, internode number, and rootless fresh quality of potato seedlings double stage inoculation were significantly greater than those inoculated in single segment, double stage inoculation was more suitable for rapid propagation of virus-free potato seedlings. The segments of potato virus-free seedlings grew best in a sugar free culture box supported by plastic particles, but the price was relatively expensive. Therefore, it was recommended to use vermiculite as the support for comprehensive consideration. The plant height of potato plantlets injected with CO2 3 days after inoculation was 10.29 cm, significantly higher than that of other treatments. Under the conditions of light intensity of 8000-8500 lx and CO2 concentration of 1×106 mg/m3 sugar-free culture, potato virus-free seedlings had the best growth potential, with a plant height of 10.28 cm, stem diameter of 1.55 cm, and fresh weight of 0.90 g, significantly higher than other treatments.
