Abstract

The article presents the results of optimization of growing conditions for 10 cisgenic lines of the Aksor potato variety in aeroponics, an innovative approach to obtaining high-quality seed material. Adaptation of test-tube potato plants in sterile agroboxes with controlled microventilation reduced stress and increased survival during the transition to aeroponics. This ensured high survival of plants during the transition from in vitro to in vivo conditions, stimulating the active formation of stolons and minitubers. A comparative analysis of the productivity and distribution of tuber sizes among cisgenic potato lines was carried out.

A total of 376 minitubers were obtained when growing cisgenic lines of the Aksor potato variety in aeroponics. Of these, 4.9–8.5% were tubers sized 30–55 mm, and the smallest fraction ranged from 9.6 to 20.3%. The TG33, TG103, and TG85 lines were in the lead in terms of the number of mini-tubers. Growing the Aksor potato variety in aeroponics ensured environmentally friendly production, accelerated plant growth, allowed for a stable harvest regardless of climatic conditions, and reduced the costs of care and transplantation. The aeroponic method demonstrated high efficiency and promise for year-round production of high-quality seed potatoes.
