Water relations in grapevine micro-cuttings grown in vitro
1996

Dry matter, water content, water, osmotic and pressure potentials, content of saccharides and potassium were measured during in vitro cultivation of Vitis rootstock. Three cases were compared: a) the micro-cuttings with normal growth; b) micro-cuttings which stop their growth after 15 d of culture, and c) micro-cuttings reactivated by 6 d of continuous darkness. Major differences were observed in water content and osmotic potential. The stopping of growth was not a specific property of buds, but was probably due to restriction of translocation of saccharides and water in the shoot.
