MANNITOL "IN VITRO" CULTURE OF OLEA EUROPAEA L. (CV. MAURINO) |
| Authors: | A.R. Leva, R. Petruccelli, G. Bartolini |
| Abstract:
Mannitol and sucrose were tested at different levels (both at 17, 34, and 68 gl-1, also at 8.5 for mannitol only) to improve proliferation of cultivar Maurino in vitro. Highest growth was obtained in presence of 34 gl-1 of mannitol or sucrose. Mannitol was more efficient than sucrose at the same level. Results indicate that mannitol could improve shoot growth, thereby substituting sucrose in olive in vitro cultures. | |
