M. Jami Moeini1 M. Armin, M.R. Asgharipour and Sara Karimi Yazdi: Effects of Different Plant Growth Regulators and Potting Mixes on Micro-propagation and Mini-tuberization of Potato Plantlets ABSTRACT For this study, Agria and Marfona cultivars of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) were used. After thermotherapy and meristem isolation of cultivars, their meristems were placed on Filter Paper Bridge in liquid medium. The plantlets resulted from meristems were micro-propagated in solid medium by using single node cuttings culture method. Plantlets were grown at 25
