Molecular marker technologies have become a powerful tool in crop improvement through their use in germplasm characterization, linkage mapping and molecular breeding. In vitro plant research has become one of the areas of extensive molecular marker application, as they can be used to monitor the somaclonal variation, verify the genetic fidelity of micropropagated plants and to identify genotype...

A simple and routine method for the analysis of tissue culture-derived strawberry plants for somaclonal variations is a prerquist for pricise monitring of quality control during rapid mass micropropgation. Similarly, molecular identification of different varieties is an important element for efficient and effective management of strawberry genetic resources. This study reports on the use of RAP...

Isolation of more than 200 strains of endophytic fungi from the roots of several host plants belonging to order Ericales (Vaccinium, Calluna, Rhododendron, Empetrum, etc.) was followed by a successful attempt to verify ericoid mycorrhiza status of some of these fungal isolates under axenic conditions. In two screening experiments, the most efficient ericoid mycorrhiza fungal strains were found ...

In vitro micropropagation of plants is highly useful for obtaining large quantities planting material with valuable economic qualities. However, plantlets grow in a specific environment and the adaptation after transfer to ex conditions difficult. Therefore, acclimatization key step, which mostly determines success micropropagation. The aim this investigation was study effect biofertlizer Lumbr...

In order to establish an endomycorrhizal symbiosis on micropropagated plants and to evaluate its effect on plant growth and survival, three rootstocks belonging to the Prunus genus were used: M51 (P. dulcis), GF677 (P. persica×P. dulcis) and cv Citation (P. domestica×P. persica). The plants were micropropagated and in vitro rooted. Spores of Glomus mosseae (LMSS) and Scutellospora calospora (SC...
