The study was conducted to develop micropropagation and slow-growth conservation protocol for endangered relict plant species Campanula sclerophylla. The best multiplication rate up to 7.2 shoots per explant was obtained on half strength MS supplemented with 3 mg/l BAP and 1 mg/l IAA. The effects of temperature/light conditions, sorbitol and ABA on shoot growth of Campanula sclerophylla were studied. Addition of 3 g/l sorbitol and 5 mg/l ABA inhibited shoot length and multiplication of C. sclerophylla. Explants were stored for 9 months without subculture at 7ºС and light intensity of 23 lux.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
