Effect of elevated CO2 concentration on acclimation of tobacco plantlets to ex vitro conditions

Effects of CO₂ concentration on acclimatization and physiological responses of two cultivars of carob tree

“…Similar results were reported after transfer of Nicotiana (Pospíšilová et al 1999), Calathea (Van Huylenbroeck et al 2000), and Castanea (Carvalho et al 2001), to ex vitro conditions. Usually, mature leaves of plants exposed to increased CO 2 show a decline in total chlorophyll content and chlorophyll a/b ratio (see Van Oosten and Besford 1994).…”

“…The concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere during acclimatization or throughout ex vitro photoautotrophic conditions has been manipulated in order to promote survival (Desjardins et al 1987, Solárová and Pospíšilová 1997, Pospíšilová et al 1999, Carvalho and Amâncio 2002, Sha Valli Khan et al 2003, Morini and Melai 2004. Plants in growth cabinets or greenhouses generally respond to atmospheric CO 2 enrichment by increasing net carbon gain and water use efficiency (Chaves 1994).…”

Physiological and biochemical parameters influencing ex vitro establishment of the in vitro regenerants of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth.: an important soil reclaiming plantation tree

“…To safeguard in vitro grown plants against water stress and to encourage autotrophy, acclimatization under ex vitro conditions is one of the main processes to promote their field survival and physiological competence (Pospisilova et al 1999;Hazarika 2003). For successful photoautotrophic acclimatization, a transitional environment is usually supplied for a duration ranging from one to several weeks using environmental controls, which has successfully improved the survival percentage of number of in vitro raised plant species under ex vitro environment (Xiao and Kozai 2004;Perveen et al 2013a).…”

Growth stimulation effects of smoke-water and vermicompost leachate on greenhouse grown-tissue-cultured ‘Williams’ bananas

“…Evidence have shown that micropropagated banana establish faster, produce higher yield and grow taller with a more uniform and shorter production cycles compared to conventionally grown plants (Israeli et al 1995;Kahangi 2010). However, the acclimatization and field establishment of micropropagated plants is critical to derive the aforementioned benefits for large scale application of micropropagation techniques (Pospíšilová et al 1999). Subsequent to field establishment, nutrient deficient soils need to be supplemented with fertilizers to promote growth and yield.…”
