The present study was aimed to compare the photoautotrophic (PAM) and photomixotrophic micropropagation (PMM) of three potato cultivars (Hermes, Rosetta and Asterix). Cultures were initiated from single node explants and established in MS basal medium with some modifications. Potato plantlets responded in sugar-free media although sugar-containing media (PMM1 and PMM2) performed better as compa...

In the present study, the in vitro response of MM.106 apple rootstock to increasing concentrations of NaCl (0, 20, 40, 80, 100 and 120 mM) in the Murashige and Skoog culture medium was analyzed. Explant growth was seriously affected by salinity treatments. Elevated salinity from 20 (control) to 40, 80, 100 and 120 mM NaCl resulted in reduction in shoot growth (shoot number, length and fresh wei...
