【 摘 要 】

The objective of this research was to assess the effects of different media i.e. Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Quoirin and Lepoivre (QL), cytokinin type i.e. 6-Benzyladenin (BA) and 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and cytokinin concentration on in vitro proliferation of the G × N15 rootstock. To evaluate the effects of different media and cytokinin type, two separate experiments were conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design, and single nodes were used as explants. The results showed that MS nutrient medium was found to be superior to QL nutrient medium. Regarding the interaction between media and growth regulators, the best interaction was found in MS medium supplemented with 1 mg l−1 BAP resulting in 8.5 new micro shoots/explant while 7.75 shoots were observed in MS medium containing 1.25 mg l−1 BA. The longest length of new micro-shoots (2.10 cm) was obtained in hormone-free MS medium. Findings of this study showed that there is a significant correlation between the hormone level and plantlet height and formed callus weight so that an increase in BAP and BA levels in both of MS and QL media resulted significantly in height decrease and callus weight increase. The results also suggest that the best and the worst plantlets in terms of quality were observed in hormone-free QL medium and MS medium supplemented with 1.25 mg l−1, respectively. These results reflect the fact that the presence of high amounts of NH4NO3 and cytokinin especially BAP in culture medium triggered inhibitory effect on shoot growth.
