The research was carried out in 2019–2020 in the Department of Biotechnology of RUE “Institute of Fruit-growing”
in the laboratory conditions. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of micro-grafting of blackberry varieties
in ex vitro conditions.
The carried out studies on the grafting of rooted ex vitro microshoots can be used to increase the commercial products
output of blackberry varieties. During micro-grafting of blackberry varieties in ex vitro conditions, a 100 % output of rooted
grafts was derived both on agroperlite substrate and on Sphagnum L. moss with a surface layer of peat “Dvinaˮ. With the
complex of morphometric indicators, it is more expedient to use a substrate consisting of Sphagnum L. moss with a surface
layer of peat “Dvinaˮ.
An authentic influence was established with a high level of significance (p < 0.001) of both varietal characteristics
and substrate and two factors together on the length of shoots, the number of internodes and the length of roots of blackberry
varieties. The number of roots depended only on the type of substrate (p < 0.001).
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.
