Summary

A biometric approach has been used to examine the changes in phenotypic characters of shoot-tip derived potato plants recovered from tissue culture, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and cryopreservation in comparison with field-grown tuber-derived plants. There were significant differences in the quantitative characters height and tuber weight in the cryopreserved plants compared to those derived from DMSO treatment and tissue culture. The use of biometrics as an analytical approach in genetic stability assessments of plants recovered from cryopreservation is discussed.
