Simplifying the production technologies can improve the effectiveness of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) minituber production. In this study, the effect of four modifications of the growing conditions of potato microplants during the last passage was evaluated and changes in microplant morphology were assessed. Microplants were grown: a) in glass test tubes filled with MS medium without vitamins (one plant per tube) and in plastic food containers (ten plants per container) filled with; b) MS medium without vitamins; c) MS medium with vitamins and d) half strength MS medium without vitamins. Mininitubers were produced from microplants obtained in greenhouse in pots (one plant per pot) filled with peat substrate. Fresh weight, root fresh weight and root/shoot ratio of microplants was significantly higher under c) conditions. Under variant d) root/shoot ratio was significantly lower mainly because of the smaller root mass. Nevertheless, different microplant morphology caused by the modified growing conditions did not affect subsequent number and mean fresh weight of minitubers.
