Abstract In this study, the influence of gibberellic acid (GA3) on strawberry in vitro shoot culture growth and development was investigated. ‘Senga Sengana’ and ‘Elsanta’ clones were grown on the medium recommended by Boxus (1999), supplemented with BA (0.5 mg dm-3), IBA (0.1 mg dm-3), glucose (40.0 g dm-3) and GA3 (0.1 - control, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0 mg dm-3). In general, gibberellic acid improved axillary shoot elongation and reduced the growth of callus as well as the formation of roots and the development of adventitious shoots. GA3 applied at a concentration of 1.0-2.0 mg dm-3 significantly increased the number of axillary shoots (mainly crown shoots), whereas under higher (5.0-10.0 mg dm-3) doses it stimulated the development of runners. It seems that a new method of strawberry micropropagation based on the multiplication of axillary crowns and runners, which could also reduce the risk of domination of in vitro cultures with adventitious shoots, might be elaborated

AbstractThe total soluble sugar content and antioxidant enzyme activities were studied for the first time during axillary shoot formation inMagnolia× ‘Spectrum’ in vitro in response to BAP (0.3 mg l−1), different levels of gibberellic acid (GA3; 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 mg l−1), sucrose (20 and 30 g l−1) and nitrogen salts (KNO3/NH4NO3; 100/100% and 75/50% relative to MS medium). Among various GA3and sucrose/nitrogen salts ratios, the most effective axillary multiplication (5.9 shoots/explant) and leaf formation (25.7 leaves per multiplied clumps) were obtained after addition of GA3at 0.1 mg l−1to a BAP medium containing 20 g l−1sucrose and reduced levels of nitrogen salts (75% KNO3and 50% NH4NO3). The addition of GA3to the BAP medium enhanced shoot formation by 36% and leaf formation by 27%. The highest shoot formation capacity ofM.× ‘Spectrum’ in vitro coincided with enhanced levels of soluble sugar and peroxidase (POD) activity. Increasing GA3concentration from 0.1 to 1.0 mg l−1in the above medium resulted in inhibition of shoot and leaf formation and a decrease in the soluble sugar content. The influence of GA3on the activities of catalase (CAT) and POD depended on its concentration and the levels of sucrose and nitrogen salts in the medium. The highest increase in CAT and POD activities, that coincided with the enhanced shoot formation capacity ofM.× ‘Spectrum’ in vitro, was observed after addition of GA3to the medium containing high levels of sucrose and nitrogen salts.

The shoot-tip explant harvested from ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) and gamma ray (GR) mutagenized seedling was cultured over MS medium fortified with NAA and BAP for five generations to amplify the mutated sector. Mutagens reduced the regeneration efficiency of the explant and affected its plant growth regulator-dependence for multiple shoot induction. While the 12d-old shoot-tip from GR-treated seedling induced shoots with 0.5µM NAA+6.6µM BAP; that from EMS-treated seedling induced shoots with 8.8µM BAP. The present study establishes that the mutagens affect the regeneration process in the explant.
