Multiplicação e regeneração in vitro de marmeleiro

Abstract

Pear orchards with high density planting were possible due to the use of rootstock quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.), thus obtaining small plants and rapid fruiting, and provide uniformity to these orchards. Techniques that may improve the ability to propagation this rootstock are of great interest. The aim of this study was to adjust protocols for in vitro multiplication and regeneration of quince cultivars MC and Adams. The results of this word are presented in chapter. Material used in the experiments was obtained from in vitro propagation in culture medium consisting of MS salts and vitamins supplemented with myo-inositol (100 mg L-1), 6 - benzylaminopurine (BA) (0.3 mg L-1), sucrose (30 g L-1) and agar (8 g L-1). Chapter 1 we used MS medium added agar (8 g L-1) on solidified medium and vermiculite (3 g flask-1) in the liquid medium and the flasks were sealed with aluminum foil, PVC film and polypropylene cap. In Chapter 2 how carbon source in culture medium was added sucrose, fructose or sorbitol at concentrations 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 g L-1. For in vitro regeneration the Chapter 3 was divided in two experiments. In experiment 1 the culture medium consisted of salts and vitamins MS and SH supplemented with myoinositol (100 mg L-1), sucrose (30 g L-1), agar (8 g L-1), NAA (2 mM) and TDZ at concentrations 0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 μM. In experiment 2 the culture medium consisted of SH salts and vitamins supplemented with myo-inositol (100 mg L-1), sucrose (30 g L-1), agar (8 g L-1), TDZ (0 , 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 μM) combined with NAA or IBA at concentrations of 0, 1.0, 1.5 and 2 μM. All experiments were evaluated after 60 days. Considering the results presented in Chapter 1 is possible to conclude that the use of culture medium solidified with agar and the flasks sealed with aluminum foil or polypropylene cap favored the in vitro multiplication of quince 'MC' and 'Adams'. In the second chapter it was found that the sucrose concentration of 45 g L-1 to cultivar MC and 30 g L-1 to cultivar Adams are the best concentrations and carbon source for in vitro multiplication quince. In the Chapter 3 first verified in experiment 1 that the in vitro regeneration of adventitious shoots quince cultivars MC and Adams was favored by the use of SH culture medium and addition of 4.5 μM TDZ to cultivar MC and 6 μM TDZ for cultivar Adams. And in experiment 2 it was concluded that multiple shoots were formed from the combination of 4.5 μM TDZ and 2 μM NAA for cultivar MC and 6 μM TDZ and 2 μM NAA to cultivar Adams.
