ISHS Acta Horticulturae 212: Symposium on In Vitro Problems Related to Mass Propagation of Horticultural Plants

CONTROL OF SHOOT "VITRIFICATION" OF ALMOND AND OLIVE GROWN IN VITRO

Authors:   E. Rugini, P. Tarini, M.E. Rossodivita, S. Costanzo
Abstract:
Vitrification of almond and olive shoots during the proliferation phase was drastically decreased, and dry matter increased, by adding 4.5% fructose or 1.3% of M-Gel or its soluble extract. Fructose reduced water uptake and did not reduce dry matter, even in 2% agar. Causes of vitrification are discussed.
