I am looking for information about propagating potato minitubers
hydroponically.  These would then be used as seed stock, hopefully
bypassing several disease stages.  Is anyone out there in the ether
working in this area or can direct me to someone who is?

Thanks

In response to the forwarded message of Don Harris about
potato minitubers, I recall a few years back that a company
named Plant genetics Inc (PGI) in Davis, CA was producing 
something like this, but I don't recall if it was hydroponic
culture or not.  Maybe this is a start in the right direction?
