Abstract

In vitro bacterization of potato microplants with a pseudomonad bacterium,Pseudomonas spp. strain PsJN, induces developmental modifications which make them more hardy and more vigorous upon transplanting. The paper reviews previous experiments and presents recent data on the post-inoculation microplant generation response of genetically engineered and nonengineered clones, microplant response to CO2 supplement, as well as the results of field experiments conducted between 1987 and 1993. Production of minitubers under greenhouse conditions and tuberization under heat stress in growth chamber are also presented. The use of the in vitro culture system for the development of microbial associations benefitting crop rotations is postulated.
