Improved in vitro rooting and acclimatization of “Violetta” Artichoke and “Green Globe” Artichoke

Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.), a medicinal plant with high economic value, contains levels of phenolic compounds; especially cynarine, which plays an important role in preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes and neurodegeneration, etc. Currently, micropropagation has achieved some success; however, the rooting efficiency plantlet quality are still limited. In this study, improving related to shoot suitable substrates vitro stage was studied on “Violetta” (VA) “Green Globe” (GA). The results showed that shoots (1.5 cm) cultured MS medium supplemented 0.5 mg/L KIN were most multiplication VA number shoots/explant (3.67 shoots), ≥ 2 cm (3 shoots); while, 1.0 BA GA (5.33 shoots; 5.00 respectively) after 4 weeks culture. Besides, improved using 8 g/L commercial agar for VA; meanwwhile, 3 gelrite GA. addition, nylon bag culture system (120 mm × 250 mm) potential production (15 plants/bag) can be applied large scale micropropagation. plantlets derived from gave good acclimatization, growth development 8, 12 20 cultivating at green house conditions.
