The aim of the work was to study the features of clonal micropropagation of essential oil rose interspecific hybrids obtained in embryo culture in vitro. Analysis of 12 crossing combinations demonstrated that the frequency of hybrid seedling formation in the embryo culture varied from 0 to 71.4%. For clonal micropropagation obtained in vitro seedlings were divided into stem segments with a node and cultivated on MS culture medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BAP and 0.1 mg/l GA3. During the multiplication of 13 hybrids (R. alba × R. damascena cv. ‘Kazanlykskaya’) in 2-6 subcultures, high variability of the multiplication index (1.8-18.5 depending on the genotype and passage) was revealed. This parameter was maximum in the 3-4th subcultures. The best ability to micropropagation showed hybrid No. 37-14. Microshoots were rooted in vitro on ½ MS medium, containing for different hybrids 0.5 or 1.0 mg/l NAA; frequency – up to 80.5-100.0%. However, in No. 37-2, 37-19 and 37-31 on four tested media, the number of shoots with roots was only 0-35.4%.
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.
