Purpose. To obtain Miscanthus sacchariflorus (Maxim.) Hack and Miscanthus sinensis Andersson in vitro culture by indirect morphogenesis. Methods. Biotechnological procedures, mathematical and statistical analyses. Results. Composition of nutrient medium was developed intended for induction of callusogenesis from Miscanthus seeds with a poor germination and viability of seedlings – Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium was modified for the amount of macroelements (half-dose) that was supplemented with amino acids (300 mg/l of glutamic acid, 50 mg/l of aspartic acid, 5 mg/l of tyrosine, 3 mg/l of arginine, 2 mg/l of hydroxyproline) and plant growth regulators [2,5 mg/l of 2.4D (2.4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), 0,6 mg/l of BAP (6-Benzyl-aminopurine) and 0,3 mg/l of ABA (Abscisic acid)]. Composition of nutrient medium was developed for regeneration of microplants from callus – agar MS medium was modified for the amount of macroelements (half-dose) supplemented with vitamins: 10 mg/l of thiaminum, 1,0 mg/l of pyridoxine, 1,0 mg/l of nicotinic acid (by White), 1,0 mg/l of ascorbic acid, 250 mg/l of glutamic acid, 2,0 mg/l of BAP, 0,3 mg/l of NAA (Naphthaleneacetic acid). On this medium, 100% regeneration of M. sacchariflorus (Maxim.) Hack and 50% regeneration of M. sinensis Andersson was obtained. Due to media modification aimed at initiating callusogenesis and microplants regeneration, reproduction factor of M. sinensis was increased 20 times at the average, M. sacchariflorus – 35–40 times. Conclusions. Plants of M. sacchariflorus (Maxim.) Hack and M. sinensis Andersson were obtained in vitro culture by initiation of callusogenes and microplants regeneration from the Miscanthus seeds with poor germination and viability on nutrient media of certain composition.

The results of cultivating of isolated apple anthers of immune to scab varieties are described. The peculiarities of callus formation using picloram are shown.

Мета. Аналіз технологій мікроклонального розмноження рослин для створення життєздатних міжвидових гібридів і сортів Actinidia Lindl.Методи. Загальнонаукові – гіпотеза, експеримент, спостереження, аналіз, метод синтезу для формування висновків.Результати. Упровадження технологій in vitro натепер стає панівним комерційним методом масштабного й швидкого отримання саджанців зі стабільним успадкуванням ознак сорту, високим коефіцієнтом розмноження, збереженням господарсько-цінних ознак за відсутності сезонності виробництва та обмежень у часі. Крім розмноження, пришвидшується й селекційний процес, зокрема мутагенез і гібридизація. Важливо одержати не лише стерильний експлант, а й морфогенно активний, тобто такий, що приживеться, і згодом регенерує рослину in vitro. Найліпшим за ефективністю деконтамінації є спосіб оброблення гіпохлоритом та додавання у живильне середовище біоциду РРМ, але за цих умов відзначено найменше виживання експлантів у всіх зразків. На ефективність введення в асептичну культуру на першому етапі мікроклонального розмноження впливають також і біологічні особливості первинних експлантів. У дослідженнях із поживними середовищами для A. arguta встановлено, що з елементів мінерального живлення лише 11 іонів є необхідними для життєдіяльності: п’ять макро- (N, K, P, Mg, S) і шість мікроелементів (Cl, Fe, B, Mo, Na, I). Рослини in vitro мають нижчий уміст сухих речовин та більшу кількість вологи, зокрема й вільної, яка за умови порушення водного балансу швидко втрачається.Висновки. Здатність до регенерації більшою мірою виражена у видів A. chinensis та A. deliciosa, меншою – в А. arguta. Для A. chinensis ефективним є застосування гідропонної технології адаптації регенерантів на етапі ex vitro. | Purpose. Analysis of plant micropropagation technologies for the creation of viable interspecific hybrids and varieties of Actinidia Lindl. Methods. General scientific – hypothesis, experiment, observation, analysis, synthesis method for drawing conclusions. Results. The introduction of in vitro technologies is now becoming the dominant commercial method of large-scale and rapid production of seedlings with stable inheritance of variety traits, high multiplication rate, preservation of economically valuable traits in the absence of production seasonality and time constraints. In addition to reproduction, the breeding process is also accelerated, including mutagenesis and hybridization. It is important to obtain not only a sterile explant, but also a morphogenically active one, that is, a plant that takes roots and subsequently regenerates in vitro. The best in terms of decontamination efficiency is the method of treatment with hypochlorite and the addition of PPM biocide to the nutrient medium, but under these conditions, the lowest survival of explants in all samples was noted. The efficiency of introduction into aseptic culture at the first stage of micropropagation is also affected by the biological characteristics of the primary explants. In studies with nutrient media for A. arguta, it was found that of the elements of mineral nutrition, only 11 ions are necessary for life: five macro- (N, K, P, Mg, S) and six microelements (Cl, Fe, B, Mo, Na, I). Plants in vitro have a lower dry matter content and a greater amount of moisture, including free moisture, which is quickly lost when the water balance is disturbed. Conclusions. The abi­lity to regenerate is more pronounced in the species A. chinensis and A. deliciosa, and to a lesser extent in A. arguta. For A. chinensis, the use of hydroponic technology for the adaptation of regenerants at the ex vitro stage is effective.

Purpose. To conduct in vitro screening of different genotypes of winter triticale for resistance to salinity in the shoot apical meristem culture. Methods. Plant tissue culture in vitro, in vitro breeding, statistical analysis. Results. It was found that the increase of sodium chloride concentration from 0.6 to 1.5% resulted in inhibition of the callus culture growth in all genotypes that was indicative of the toxic effect of the stress factor. It turns out that 1.2% sodium chloride concentration allowed to differentiate triticale genotypes for salt tolerance. The line ‘38/1296’ appeared to be the most resistant to salinity stress because under breeding conditions calli of this genotype were characterized by higher morphogenetic potential, had the highest crude mass increase, and plants-regenerants were obtained only from explants of this line after cultivation on the medium containing 1.5% sodium chloride. The ‘ADM 11’ variety was the most sensitive to saline stress as mass necrosis and lack of regenerative ability in its calli were observed under breeding conditions. In the studied forms, genotypic dependence of morphogenesis processes in vitro culture was registered. From the induced calli, plants-regenerants were obtained, and their completion of growing, root development and transfer to in vivo conditions were optimized. Conclusions. Genotypic response to salinity stress in the culture of shoot apical meristems of winter triticale was expressed by various crude mass increase and different morphogenetic potential on exposure to a stress factor. The line ‘38/1296’ can be used as a valuable material for further breeding of winter triticale. The culture of shoot apical meristems is recommended to apply as a test system for screening of triticale genotypes for resistance to salinity stress

Callusogensis and morphogenesis of anthers of apple scab resistant varieties have been studied, with picloram applied. Auxin activity of this preparation has been revealed as in the darkness so in the light. The callusogenesis efficiency of studied varieties varied from 26,0 to 83,3% subject to the concentration of picloram in the darkness and from 11,3 to 74,9% in the conditions of low light. We consider 4 mg/l in the medium to be an optimal level of piloram concentration so far as this concentration provides the best callusogenesis indices of the tested apple varieties. The callus formed in the darkness in the medium with picloram is knobby and dense of white or milky color. The callus formed in the light is intensively green or greenishwhite, denser, with distinctly outlined meristem hearths. Morphological characters of calluses obtained in the medium of picloram are stable over years. The roots of Yubiley Moskvy variety have been induced under auxin:cytokinin ratio 1 : 2 (picloram : BAP, cytokinin). The roots of Svezhest cultivar were obtained under auxin : cytokinin ratio 3:9 (picloram : BAP, kinetin). Formation of four buds was recored in Orlovskoye polesie variety under auxin : cytokinin ratio 1:20.
