Abstract:
Micropropagation of lingonberry, Vaccinium
vitis-idaea L., has become a popular method of
Propagation for commercial growers offering
ngonberry plants; however, recommendations
for basal media, plant growth regulators, and
culture conditions vary substantially among
publications and commercial propagators.
We
round that lingonberry cultivars differed in
shoot growth with various concentrations of the
cytokinin 2ip (N6-[2-isopentenyl]adenine), and
that the addition of the auxin IAA (indoleacetic
acid) did not increase shoot quality or multi
plication rates of 'Sussi,' 'Erntedank,' or 'Koralle.'
In addition, tests using several concentrations of
IBA (3-indolebutyric acid) in powder form did
not enhance rooting of microcuttings.
Woody
Plant Medium containing 10 μM 2ip was an
effective growing medium for the three lingon
berry cultivars tested.
Higher concentrations of
2ip favor increased shoot development, but the
clonal fidelity of these shoots may be suspect.
Stabilized cultures with consistent shoot produc
tion from 3-node stem section explants have
been established for eleven lingonberry cultivars.
