Title: Liquid Medium Overlays Enhance Growth and Multiplication of In Vitro Grapes and Apples
Authors: M. Ali-Ahmad, H.G. Hughes, F. Safadi and I. Dami
Abstract:
Liquid medium overlays of established cultures were compared to transfers to fresh medium.
The number of micropropagated grape
(Vitis sp.) shoots increased 67%, shoot length
73%, and fresh weight 125% with liquid medium
overlays as compared to transfer to fresh me
dium.
Callus growth at the base of shoots was
64$ less.
In apples (Malus pumila), the number
of micropropagated shoots increased 35%, shoot
length 69%, and fresh weight 67% with liquid
medium overlays.
Callus fresh weight decreased
by 52% when compared to cultures transferred
to fresh solid media.
