Prospects of growing garden strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) in the Primorsky Krai using microclonal propagation. E.N. BARSUKOVA, T.N. CHEKUSHKINA (Federal Scientific Center of Agrobiotechnology in the Far East named after A.K. Chaika, Ussuriysk, Timiryazevsky village).
The article presents the results of isolating three genotypes of perpetual strawberry with neutral daylight hours into in vitro culture. It was found that the varieties Murano, Florentina and Cabrillo differ in their regeneration capability and the possibility of microclonal propagation. At the stage of in vitro isolation, the explants of the Florentina variety showed the highest viability (80 %) and the lowest contamination (20 %). Of the studied genotypes, the Cabrillo variety is characterized by the maximum regeneration capability of 1 : 13.2 in the second passage.
