In vitro-cultured plants typically show a low photosynthetic activity, which is considered detrimental to subsequent ex vitro acclimatization. Studies conducted so far have approached this problem by analysing the biochemical and photochemical aspects of photosynthesis, while very little attention has been paid to the role of leaf conductance to CO(2) diffusion, which often represents an import...

Microcloning is an effective method of plant reproduction that actively developing in Ukraine for the mass propagation valuable food crops such as blackberries. However, problem losing a large number microclones often arises during ex vitro acclimatization stage. Inoculation rhizosphere with potentially useful microorganisms could have positive impact on survival rate and biometric characterist...

In Hawaii, the commercial papaya industry is based on cultivars that segregate as females or hermaphrodites. Multiple seedlings are planted and then thinned at flowering to single hermaphrodites each site. The aim of this study was increase propagation efficiency by improving our procedure for micropropagation hermaphrodite plants only. Initially, shoots were multiplied in vented jars M2 medium...
