Abstract
Apple is rosaceous pome fruit grown in temperate areas of the world for its high economic value. It is chiefly relished by people as fresh fruit but processed products like apple juice, canned apple sauce, apple jam and apple butter are also important table delicacies. Dehydrated apples, apple flour, apple dumpling, charoset (apple relish), apple haystacks are other important commercial products. The fruit contains appreciable quantity of sorbitol, sugars, organic acids and vitamins. It also has high medicinal value and serves as a stimulant for heart and as purgative, prevents constipation, reduces incidence of dental caries, helps to control obesity and supplies extra energy for heavy exercise. The pulp of apple fruit provides phytochemicals which serve as strong antioxidants and reduce the risk of some cancers, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, and diabetes. They also prevent oxidative stress and delay ageing. The other health benefits include better development of mental faculties. Apple trees when raised from seeds never produce quality fruits unless they are subjected to grafting. The traditional methods of propagation are time consuming, laborious and involve a lot of cost besides being skilful. Present investigation on in vitro studies of Ambri, Golden Delicious, Chambura and Maharaji apple cultivars has been taken in hand with an aim to develop complete micropropagation protocol for applying it in apple industry so as to boost the economy in the state. The maximum average shoot number produced per subculture of each shoot was found to be 34±0.82, 38±0.82, 42±0.71 and 48±0.82 in Ambri, Golden Delicious, Chambura and Maharaji cultivars respectively the highest being in the Maharaji cultivar. The maximum average shoot number produced per subculture of each shoot was found to be 38 ± 0.81, 39 ± 0.80, 50 ± 1.35 and 52 ± 1.75 in Ambri, Golden Delicious, Chambura and Maharaji cultivars respectively again highest recorded in the Maharaji cultivar and higher than the number obtained from the shoot apices of mature trees in all selected cultivars.
