STUDIES ON THE IN VITRO MICROPROPAGATION ABILITY OF ARONIA MELANOCARPA (MICHX.) ELLIOT
Journal Title: Current Trends in Natural Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Since the expression of a high ability for in vitro regeneration and proliferation is a very important condition for any biotechnological approach for clonal propagation, the influence of genotype and culture medium composition on the number of shoots regenerated and their length in successive subcultures was investigated in Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot cultivars ‘Melrom’ and ‘Nero’. Chokeberry cultivar ‘Nero’ showed a significantly higher ability of regeneration compared to the cultivar ‘Melrom’, the greatest number of shoots being obtained with the basal medium containing MS macroelements, LF microelements and LF vitamins, supplemented with 4,5 mg×dm-3 BA and 0,6 mg×dm-3 IBA.
