| Abstract:
In Romania, plum sp. represent 48% of the national fruit crop. Introduction of several new species is anticipate in the future. Virus diseases appear to have a negative economic effect, showing a decreasing of trees vitality, a premature fall, poor fruit quality as well as non fertility phenomena and lack of graft compatibility. Our research shows the interest and potentialities of meristem-tip culture and in vitro propagation in breeding new high valuable plum cvs. (Centenar, Carpatin and Silvia). | |
