Propagation of Morus alba var. Creole with the use of temporary immersion systems
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The mulberry (Morus alba L.) it is a forage plant of great economic importance. The present work was carried out with the purpose of to in vitro propagate the variety ‘Criolla’ via organogenesis with the use of Temporary Immersion Systems. It were defined the media and culture conditions for the temporary immersion systems. The results demonstrated that it was possible to obtain a high multiplication coefficient of 15.5. The immersion frequency had a significant influence on the evaluated variables. Maximum values were observed in the number of buds, the longitude of the buds and the multiplication coefficient with four immersions per day. The plants in vitro cultivated in temporary immersion systems were established in the acclimatization phase in a substrate compound for 85% worm humus and 15% zeolita. It were superior in the morphological variables evaluated regarding those propagated by the conventional method of stakes.
