We have studied the third generation the meristemic clones of the variety 'Mats' and the fifth generation of the anonymous clone. No significant differences in the yield and starch content of tubers between different meristem clones were observed. The anonymous clone of the fifth generation had the lowest yield and starch content. We have studied the second generation of the seven meristem clones of the variety 'Saturna' and seed material obtained from the Netherlands four years ago. No significant differences were found in the yield and starch content of tubers between different meristem clones and the obtained material from the Netherlands. Nevertheless there was found differences in the structure of tuber yield. 'Saturna' obtained from the Netherlands had the largest weight of a tuber
