Abstract: Using potato cultivar ‘Favorita’ as the material, the effects of media type, exogenous hormone, carbon source, activated carbon and water quality on tissue culture and rapid propagation of virus-free potato seedlings were studied. The results showed that the growth of virus-free potato seedlings on MS medium was superior to that on B5 and N6 media. However, the number of leaves per plant and number of new shoots on B5 medium were significantly higher than those on MS. The addition 1-2 g/L activated carbon was beneficial to the growth and proliferation of virus-free potato seedlings, with the average number of leaves and new shoots being 45.7% and 47.7% higher than those of the control group without activated carbon respectively. The addition of 0.5 mg/L 6-BA and 0.2 mg/L NAA could effectively promote the growth of virus-free potato seedlings. Replacing sucrose in MS medium with 20-25 g/L white sugar as the carbon source, and using tap water in the preparation of medium, not only improved the quality and propagation efficiency of virus-free seedlings, but also effectively reduced the production costs.
