The shoot fresh mass, root length and root numbers of two potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars Favorita and Helanwuhua were increased significantly by the application of 0.2 - 2 mg dm-3 jasmonic acid (JA) in the Murashige and Skoog medium. However, the growth of potato explants was inhibited by JA at high concentrations (20 - 50 mg dm-3). Chlorophyll content in explant leaves decreased with an increase in the concentration of JA. In leaves treated with 0.2 mg dm-3 JA acid peroxidase activity increased, while in the leaves treated with more than 2 mg dm-3 JA peroxidase activity decreased. Under the dark, the microtuber numbers, fresh mass and percentage of big microtubers of two potato cultivars were not promoted by the application of 0.2 - 50 mg dm-3 JA.
