Tissue culture study on potato was investigated in this paper. MS basal medium supplement with 30 and 40 g/l sucrose, 8 g/l agar and different plant growth regulator were used. Potato was cultured in different ratio of IBA: BAP (10:10, 10:5, 5:10, 5:5 μM) in combination. Development was not identical in all the treatments, cultured tissues were observed in treatments about a week after culture. Results showed that the treatments containing 10 μM IBA in combination with 10 μM BAP is suitable for callus induction. While the tissue formed in 5:5 μM IBA: BAP was found to be delicate, short. Also, the tissue formed in 5:10 IBA: BAP was delicate, short but was higher in density as compared to treatment contained 5:5 μM IBA: BAP.
