Improvement of in vitro propagation of apricot cultivar 'Bebecou'
2006
Koubouris, G. | Vasilakakis, M.
Factors affecting successful establishment in vitro, rapid proliferation and rooting of apricot cultivar 'Bebecou' were studied. Ethanol and NaOCl were applied in several combinations for disinfection; chilling, plant growth regulators BA, IAA and GA3, antibiotics, different culture vessels and systems of subculture were evaluated for the optimization of shoot proliferation and the auxins NAA and IBA were assessed for root induction. The highest number of new microshoots/explant (18.7) was obtained in a culture medium supplemented with 2.2 μM BA+0.57 μM IAA after 300 h of chilling. The effect of GA3 (11.4 μM) on shoot proliferation was positive in combination with 4.4 or 8.9 μM BA. Shoot length and productivity were highest at 2.2 μM BA+11.4 μM GA3+0.57 μM IAA and at 2.2 μM BA+0.57 μM IAA, respectively and decreased as cytokinin concentration increased. The antibiotic 'Na-cefotaxime' had a minimal impact on shoot growth when used at the lowest concentration (250 mg l-1). Subculture every 2 weeks in a medium supplemented with 2.2 μM BA and 0.57 μM IAA was more efficient for shoot induction than alternation of 20 days culture in a propagation medium supplemented with 2.2 μM BA and 10 days culture in an elongation medium supplemented with 1.1 μM BA and 5.71 μM IAA. The highest number of roots/shoot (8.1) was recorded at 19.6 μM IBA.
