In vitro conservation and regeneration of potato germplasm is important in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to assess the combined effect of paclobutrazol (PAC) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) during reduced-growth conservation and their in vitro ability to regenerate <i>S. tuberosum</i> after conservation treatments. For the conservation system, apices were used as explants in Murashige and Skoog culture media with different combinations of PAC (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg L<sup>−1</sup>) and AgNPs (0, 50, 100 and 200 mg L<sup>−1</sup>). At six months of culture, plant length, number of lateral branches, number of leaves and roots, root length, stomatal density and total chlorophyll content were assessed. For regeneration, explants were internodes cultured in medium with only 2 mg L<sup>−1</sup> benzyladenine (BA). At 60 d of culture, the response percentage, number of shoots per explant and shoot length were assessed. For in vitro conservation, the combination of 2 mg L<sup>−1</sup> PAC and 50 mg L<sup>−1</sup> AgNPs was the best treatment, whereas for in vitro regeneration, the highest number of shoots was in explants that were treated with 1 or 2 mg L<sup>−1</sup> PAC with 50 mg L<sup>−1</sup> AgNPs. In conclusion, PAC and AgNPs are alternatives for in vitro <i>S. tuberosum</i> conservation, and their evaluation in other species recalcitrant to the effect of ethylene is recommended.
