Abstract
A programme of meristem‐stem tip culture of potato was initiated in Denmark in 1977 to eradicate Corynebacterium sepedonicum and at the same time produce virus‐free stocks. The procedures for obtaining the cultures, and ksting for viruses, at the National Institute of Plant Pathology are described. The first tuber generation is further propagated for 2 years by the Research Institute for Potatoes at Tylstrup. Selected growers then multiply the « meristem potatoes » under the pre‐basic system for another 3 years, under the supervision of the National Committee for Health Control of Seed Potatoes.
