While there was not any potato seed production with tissue culture in our country, tissue culture laboratory and green houses were built which could produce this seed production and started to produce high stage disease free potato seed.
In our laboratory, we use meristem culture method for production. 15.000-20.000 in-vitro plant can be produced every year. This plants transform to fully controlled green houses and forward staged potato seed is produced.
In our laboratory, 50.000-60.000 super elite mini tuber, 10 metric ton pre-elit tuber and 100 metric ton elite tuber are produced every year.
These studies and works has become a model for private sector and lots of research company that use our research outputs, established their own tissue culture systems with these benefits sector exported their produced seeds for the first time and continues.
