Abstract

The studies described in this thesis were carried out to investigate and find means to lower early chromosome number variation during leaf protoplast culture of Solanum tuberosum (potato). In a number of plant species, maldistribution of chromosomes had been related to the early occurence of polynucleate cells. In potato, however, neither the causes of polynucleation nor its impact on poly- and aneuploidization had been investigated. Some general and relevant aspects concerning the encountered variation are introduced in chapter 1. ... Summary and final conclusions
