Micropropagation of threatened black alder

Abstract: Micropropagation techniques are valuable tools for propagating, conserving and restoring trees. An efficient micropropagation method involving axillary shoot proliferation of material obtained from mature European alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) trees was developed. Branch segments from trees aged 20-30 years were forced to flush, and explants derived from new shoots were cultured on Woody Plant Medium supplemented with 8.88 µM benzyladenine and 2.85µM indole-3-acetic-acid. In vitro establishment was achi… Show more

“…The present findings showed that holm oak tree genotypes derived from 30 to 100 yr-old in situ selected ortets could be established in vitro, although differences were observed between the clones, both at the culture initiation stage and during the subsequent micropropagation by axillary budding. Differences between species and also between different genotypes of the same species have been reported in woody plants such as American oak species (Vieitez et al 2009), strawberry tree (Gomes et al 2010) or black alder (San José et al 2013).…”

“…Stock shoot cultures (Clones G1, R1 and R4) were established in vitro from mature A. glutinosa trees in 2009, as previously described (San José et al 2013). Clonal shoot multiplication was maintained by subculturing shoots in 500 ml glass jars containing 70 ml of Woody Plant Medium (WPM, Lloyd and McCown 1980), supplemented with 0.1 mg l -1 6-benzylaminopurine, 0.5 mg l -1 indole-3-acetic acid, 20 g l -1 glucose and 7 g l -1 Difco agar (proliferation medium).…”

“…by in vitro methods was made in this study. Shoot explants from different mature trees were successfully cultured in vitro (San José et al 2013), and the micropropagated shoots were maintained without loss of the multiplication capacity for over five years. However, shoot cultures required regular 3-week subculture at 25ºC and 16 h photoperiod, and therefore the development of reliable methods of mediumterm storage is crucial.…”

“…A recent review has described forest biotechnology techniques as an emerging opportunity for tree improvement and conservation in Quercus species (Vieitez & al., 2012). Micropropagation techniques represent an alternative approach for the rapid propagation and improvement of forest stock, especially when conventional propagation is difficult to achieve (Renau-Morata & al., 2005;Gomes & Canhoto, 2009;San José & al., 2013). In vitro culture techniques also allow conservation of species with low seed viability, establishment of cultures for clonal mass propagation, and production of highly heterozygous crops or cultures that must be propagated vegetatively to preserve their genetic integrity (Corredoira & al., 2011).…”
