For the first time, organogenesis and physiological characteristics of Fragaria ananassa microclones (cvs. ‘Alpha’ and ‘Solnechnaya polyanka’) under the influence of mechanocomposite (MC) based on rice husks amorphous silica and flavonoids of green tea during the multiplication stage in in vitro conditions were studied. The addition of the MC (0.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg·L-1) to the Gamborg- Eveleg’s basal salt medium supplemented with 0.75 mg·L-1 6-benzylaminopurine has shown beneficial action on processes of organogenesis followed by enzymatic, photosynthetic, and hormonal activities of in vitro cultured strawberry plantlets. In both cultivars, the high frequency of proliferation (100 %) and maximum number of axillary shoots increased by 1.8–2.0 times on medium supplemented with 5.0 mg·L-1 MC. The concentrations of 2.5 and 5.0 mg·L-1 MC were optimal for obtaining plantlets with high physiological state in in vitro conditions. The results may be used for the development of production systems for a healthy planting material using biotechnological approaches and recommended for commercial strawberry micropropagation.
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.
