In vitro screening for cold hardiness of raspberry cultivars
1998
Palonen, P. | Buszard, D.
Raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivars 'Festival', 'Titan' and 'Willamette' were cultured in vitro on three different media: (A) MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg l-1 BAP and 0.1 mg l-1 IBA, (B) MS medium without growth regulators, and (C) MS medium with reduced sucrose (10 g l-1), and exposed to different low temperature acclimation treatments: (1) control, no acclimation, (2) 1 week at +15 degrees C, 1 week at +2 degrees C, 24 h at -2 degrees C and days at +2 degrees C, and (3) 2 weeks at +15 degrees C, 2 weeks at +2 degrees C, 24 h at -2 degrees C and 3 days at +2 degrees C. After acclimation, shoot moisture content was measured, and cold hardiness (LT50) was determined by controlled freezing. Shoot moisture content was generally lower on culture medium B compared to the other media, but not affected by acclimation treatment. In non-acclimated plants, medium composition had no effect on cold hardiness and no cultivar differences in hardiness were observed. After acclimation, plants on culture medium B were on average more cold hardy than on the other media. Acclimation treatment 3 on media A and B allowed the best discrimination between the hardy cultivar 'Festival' and less cold hardy 'Titan' and 'Willamette'. When acclimation treatments were tested further using 11 raspberry cultivars with different levels of cold hardiness discrimination between cultivars was satisfactory only after acclimation treatment 3 on culture medium B.
