Climate change is one of the reasons influences to decline grain quality in Kazakhstan. This includes the growing threat of droughts and frosts during the growing season of wheat, increased winds, and climate contrast against the background of soil degradation (salinization, desertification) because of irrational use and disruption of the ecological balance in the biocenosis. The aim of this work is to obtain drought - resistant regenerant plants of spring soft wheat in in vitro culture and their seeds. The authors have introduced 10 domestic varieties of spring wheat into in vitro culture. Obtained morphogenetic callus of wheat have been cultivated on nutrient medium MS, with ttreatment of optimal concentrations of selective agents: polyethylene glycol 6000 - 5%; mannitol - 2%; NaCl – 0,5%. There have been determined the regenerative capacity of wheat genotypes. High morphogenetic potential was observed among 10 cultivars using 2% mannitol and 5% polyethylene glycol, which made up to 44,2% and 38,9%, respectively and characterizes there in vitro adaptive ability to drought. Seeds (R0-R1) of obtained wheat regenerant lines were produced. Structural analysis has been carried out for obtained regenerant plants from selective agents such as mannitol 2%, NaCl 0.5% and polyethylene glycol 5%. As a result, drought-resistant regenerant plants have been selected and grown to produce their seeds (R1).
Japanese spiraea (Spiraea japonica) is an ornamental shrub widely used in landscaping. The method of clonal micropropagation of Spiraea japonica was optimized to obtain a large number of plants from several shoots. The optimal concentrations of hormones have been established to increase multiplication and root formation. QL medium with 0,5 mg/l benzyl aminopurine (BAP) in combination with 1,0 mg/l gibberelic acid (GA); 0,01 and 1,0 mg/l indolyl butyric acid (IBA); 1,0 mg/l of naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) were tested for multiplication. For root induction, naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) was used in five doses at half the concentration of QL and MS medium. The highest multiplication of shoots (14,02±1,39) and the highest increase in shoot length (6,39) was obtained on QL medium supplemented with 0,5 mg/l BAP; 1,0 mg/l GA and IBA 0,01 mg/l. The highest rooting (100%), the maximum number of roots (6,20±0,63), the length of the longest root (4,60±0,02) was observed on ½ QL medium containing 0,1 mg/l NAA. In conclusion, for Spiraea japonica, an efficient high speed and rooting protocol is described that can be used in mass propagation.
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.
