Popis: | The interval between transfers of organ cultures from seventeen potato cultivars has been extended from several weeks to twelve months by the addition of growth retardants to the medium. The presence of abscisic acid or mannitol in the medium increased the survival of cultures from 15 to 60% after twelve months, and in combination with a reduced temperature regime up to 73% of cultures survived. B995 and Phosphon D added to the medium had less effect and trans-cinnamic acid was ineffective. In the presence of abscisic acid and mannitol cultures became stunted with short internodes and poor root development but normal growth occurred on transfer to retardant-free medium |
