In vitro microtubers were obtained in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivar Kuroda, a new variety of potato introduced in Pakistan. The cotton based liquid MS medium supplemented with 8% sucrose and 0.75 mg L-1 BAP, The pH 5.7 gave better results when using node as a source of explant. Since microtubers can be induced economically at low concentration of BAP, it is recommended that this cultivar may be adopted for commercial cultivation in Pakistan.
