Season, thermotherapy and surface sterilization play important roles in microbial contamination of hazelnut in vitro cultures
Merve Şekerli
Abstract:The initiation of cultivars for hazelnut micropropagation from mature field-grown plants is challenging due to high contamination levels and low regeneration rates. This study aimed to develop an efficient protocol for establishing in vitro cultures, the crucial first step in hazelnut micropropagation. Three independent experiments were conducted to achieve this goal. In the first experiment, plant materials were collected directly from the field at different times of the year to initiate cultures, with July t… Show more
