Tóm tắt

Several experiments were conducted to investigate in vitro regeneration of adventious shoots from cultured leaves of Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia). A protocol was developed and regeneration achieved from six cultivars. Leaves harvested from shoot cultures which had been preconditioned on B5 medium with 5 μM thidiazuron plus 0.25 μM gibberellic acid were placed on regeneration medium of the same composition. Frequency of regeneration per leaf was as high as 23% but cultivar and environmental factors influenced the result. More mature (basal) leaves regenerated more frequently than younger ones from the shoot tip. Leaf orientation during regeneration and photoperiod was not a strong influence but regeneration from leaf pieces was less than from uncut leaves. An alternative regeneration procedure was developed in which first, shoot cultures were grown on the preconditioning medium. Leaves of the intact shoot cultures were then induced to regenerate directly when adventitious shoots formed on leaves of the intact shoot culture leaves without excision. Adventitious shoots from both procedures developed into typical shoot cultures when transferred to shoot culture maintenance medium.
