Using the plant tissue culture techniques in micropropagation and conservation of the endangered Red Doumani grape cultivar


Abstract in English

In this study, we used plant tissue culture techniques for micropropagation of the endangered Red Doumani cultivar. The explants which were the apex tips and axillary buds (0.5-1 cm) have been cultured on the free of hormones initial medium WPM (Woody plant medium), then moved to the micropropagation media. The results showed that the medium containing 4.44 mM BA + 0.58 mM IAA had the best effect on number of new shoots formed (2.6) and the growth started after 9.22 days, the best elongation was on the medium supplemented with 4.6 mM KIN + 0.58 mM IAA and the rate of multiplication reached 5.15 shoots.
