| Abstract:
Micropropagation of U. carpinifolia was studied starting from epicotyls of aseptically germinated seeds. The in vitro performance of two open pollinated families was tested on three different media containing mineral salts of Murshigé and Skoog (1962), Durzan and Lopushansky (1975) and Lloyd and McCown (1980). In the proliferation phase media were supplemented with 0.5 mg/l benzyladenine (BA) and three different subculture times were compared (14–21–28 days). In the rooting phase media without BA were supplemented with two different levels of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (0.1 and 0.5 mg/l). Results suggest that a large scale micropropagation of European elm from seedlings is possible thus originating clonal material. | |
