Factor Controlling Micropropagation of Fruit Trees: A Review

Micropropagation of Medlar (Mespilus germanica L.), A Mediterranean Fruit Tree

“…Medlar has medicinal and nutritional properties. There are several reports on in vitro propagation of the Rosaceae family members (Pati et al, 2013) and many fruit trees and shrubs (Hassan and Zayed, 2018;Sharma, 2017), but there are no reports on in vitro propagation of M. germanica L. Based on the results presented in Tables 1 and 2, during the individual use of BA and NAA, the highest shoot multiplication and root induction was obtained using a concentration of 1.00 mg l -1 of both BA and NAA. However, the presence of both auxin and cytokinin in the culture medium is necessary for maximum shoot multiplication and root induction (Table 3).…”

Techniques for Micropropagation of Olive (Olea europaea L.): A Systematic Review

“…At this stage micro-cuttings are shifted on to sterilized MS media for shoot proliferation. Increased shoot proliferation of olive obtained with increasing BAP concentration up to 2 mg L -1 in the culture medium (Hassan and Zayed, 2018).…”

“…Before collection of explants, a fungicide spray is applied to the mother plants. The smaller explants such as shoot tip culture lead to the establishment stage of micropropagation which are free from viruses among most plant species (Hassan and Zayed, 2018). These explant received from auxiliary buds of uninodal explants taken from selected mother plants (Michelia and Da Silva, 2020).…”

“…Roussos and Pontikis, 2001 stated that these anti-growth agents are lethal for olive clones. Hassan and Zayed, 2018 reported that surface sterilization of explants obtained by use of Clorox and tween 20 solution. Citric acid and ascorbic acid at 150 mg per lit.…”

Selection and micropropagation of valuable caper genotypes

“…The scientific research on in vitro cultures is discussed in many national and international scientific papers and different protocols have been developed, according to the different species. This technique is well applied in vegetable production (Butt et al 2015), ornamental plants (Kanwar, Kumar 2008;Senapati, Rout 2008), medicinal plants (Debnath et al 2006) and fruit trees (Sedlák, Paprštein 2008Antonopoulou et al 2018;Hassan, Zayed 2018). It is well known that several factors can affect the response to micropropagation and among these, the genotype is a discriminating parameter (Bobrowski et al 1996;Scaltsoyiannes et al 1998;Debnath 2005;Gomes et al 2010).…”
