“…Although this study showed that the CRAM unit did significantly increase the vegetable yields in greenhouses, it has been also reported that too high CO 2 level may inhibit plant growth (Buddendorf-Joosten and Woltering, 1994). Therefore, in order to avoid this possible negative effect, the quantity of CO 2 produced could be controlled by altering the size or the number of composting units utilized depending on the volume of the greenhouse used.…”

“…The problem is exacerbated in the middle of the day when plants experience their maximum rate of photosynthesis and high demand for CO 2 . Sufficient CO 2 concentrations are crucial to sustain vegetable production (Hikosaka et al, 2005;Fierro et al, 1994;Buddendorf-Joosten and Woltering, 1994). In the present study, large quantities of CO 2 were generated through microbial fermentation in greenhouses containing CRAM units.…”

Concentrations of CO 2 are commonly suboptimal for plant production in greenhouses. Here, a new strategy using crop-residues and animal-manure composting (CRAM) was developed to increase CO 2 concentration throughout the day. During the whole cultivation period, CRAM-treated greenhouses had CO 2 concentrations that were more than twice that of the control greenhouses. This resulted in yields of celery (Apium graveolens L.), leaf lettuce (Lactuca virosa L.), stem lettuce (Lactuca saiva L.), oily sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus L.), and Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis L.) that were 270%, 257%, 87%, 140%, and 227% higher than those in control greenhouses, respectively. The effect of CRAM on vegetable-quality parameters was also examined. Nitrate concentrations deceased in celery, leaf lettuce, oily sowthistle, and Chinese cabbage by 8%, 36%, 30%, and 20%, respectively. The concentrations of soluble sugars in oily sowthistle and Chinese cabbage were significantly increased by the composting procedure. In addition, the ascorbic acid concentrations increased in all five species, with average increases of 13%, 39%, 25%, 72%, and 37% for celery, leaf lettuce, stem lettuce, oily sowthistle, and Chinese cabbage, respectively. It is concluded that CO 2 fertilization using CRAM in greenhouses increases yields and improves quality of common vegetables.

“…Nevertheless, its widespread use is restricted by the formation of plantlets of abnormal morphology, anatomy and physiology induced by special conditions during in vitro culture, e.g., high air humidity, decreased air turbulence, low irradiance, low CO 2 concentration during light period, cultivation media supplemented with sugars and growth regulators (for review see, e.g., Pospíšilová et al 1992, 2005, Buddendorf-Joosten and Woltering 1994, Desjardins 1995, Kozai and Smith 1995, Kubota et al 1997. After ex vitro transfer, these plantlets might be easily impaired by sudden changes in environmental conditions.…”

Ex vitro transfer is often stressful for in vitro grown plantlets. Water stress and photoinhibition, often accompanying the acclimatization of in vitro grown plantlets to ex vitro conditions, are probably the main factors promoting production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and in consequence oxidative stress. The extent of the damaging effects of ROS depends on the effectiveness of the antioxidative systems which include low molecular mass antioxidants (ascorbate, glutathione, tocopherols, carotenoids, phenols) and antioxidative enzymes (superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, glutathione reductase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase). This review is focused on ROS production and development of antioxidative system during in vitro growth and their further changes during ex vitro transfer.

“…Interestingly, an earlier research work by González et al [11] on aspen (Populus tremula) shoot cultures, although conducted on the standard shoot multiplication medium enriched with both cytokinin (higher concentration) and auxin, indicated that both shoot proliferation and root formation during aspen in vitro culture also required the hormonal action of ethylene. Since the increased accumulation of ethylene gas in tightly sealed plant culture vessels is a well-known side effect of in vitro culturing [2,4], it seemed promising to test the impact of additional sealing on plant development, while employing a hormone-free nutrient medium. Positive results (mainly, in terms of shoot proliferation) were obtained with aspens while culturing them in tightly sealed low-volume petri dishes, indicating that restricted gas exchange can substantially reduce the need for exogenous hormones [37].…”

the present study explored an alternative approach for poplar micropropagation, based on the restriction of gas exchange between inside and outside environments of culture vessel, rather than on the application of exogenous hormones. Apical and nodal stem segments (explants) excised from in vitro-developed shoots of hybrid white poplar (Populus alba L. × P. tremula L.) were incubated in either sealed (with Parafilm) or unsealed capped glass culture tubes (150 × 20 mm) on a hormone-free Woody Plant Medium. Shoot proliferation on apical explants was observed in sealed culture tubes but not in the unsealed ones; the difference between these two samples in respect of shoot number increased in the course of time and became threefold after three months of culture, with 3.2 ± 0.4 (mean ± SE) shoots per explant in the sealed tubes versus 1.1 ± 0.1 in the unsealed ones (for comparison, the mean shoot numbers on nodal explants were 2.4 ± 0.3 and 3.4 ± 0.4 in the unsealed and sealed culture tubes, respectively). Moreover, the shoots taken from the sealed culture tubes could be distinguished by superior shoot length, if compared to the shoots from the unsealed tubes, during the subsequent culture stage under uniform conditions.
