Inoculation of apple tree tissue culture explants with bacteria for enhanced growth and tissue hardening
EF 2021-22 · 2021-12-01
Résumé
Micropropagated plants are physiologically different from normal plants as they have reduced photosynthetic activity, lower wax deposits, poorly functioning stomata, underdeveloped root systems and few leaf and root hairs. These deficiencies can be overcome by inoculating explants with beneficial bacteria. Bacteria provide biological hardening which accelerates the speed of plant production as well as inducing lignification, stimulating stomata function, and thereby reducing water loss, enhancing photosynthetic capacity, etc. The technology can double the rate of tissue culture production and thereby reduce costs. It increases plant survival after transplantation from tissue culture conditions, as well as enhancing the overall quality of th

Description (French)
Les plantes micropropagées sont physiologiquement différentes des plantes normales, car elles ont une activité photosynthétique réduite, des dépôts de cire plus faibles, des stomates qui fonctionnent mal, des systèmes racinaires sous-développés et peu de feuilles et de poils racinaires. Ces déficiences peuvent être surmontées en inoculant des explants avec des bactéries bénéfiques. Les bactéries procurent un durcissement biologique qui accélère la vitesse de production des plantes, tout en induisant la lignification, en stimulant la fonction des stomates et, par conséquent, en réduisant la perte d'eau, en améliorant la capacité photosynthétique, etc. Cette technologie permet de doubler le taux de production des cultures de tissus et donc de réduire les coûts. Elle augmente la survie des plantes après transplantation à partir de conditions de culture de tissus, tout en améliorant la qualité globale des
