Papaver degenii (Urum. & Jav.) Kuzmanov is a Bulgarian endemic and glacial relict growing in the alpine zone of Pirin Mountains and it is included in the Red Data Book of Bulgaria. Numerous plants were in vitro multiplied in order to study the alkaloid composition of the species and to test the potential for green biotechnology establishment. Percentages of the crude alkaloid mixture in dried in vitro shoots and ex vitro adapted plants to room phytotron were similar to that in seeds (0.49%) and 5 to 6 times higher than in the aerial parts of wild-growing plants. Amurensine was the only alkaloid detected in the seeds. Four isoquinoline alkaloids were isolated from the regenerated plants, belonging to two alkaloid types: isopavines (amurensine and O-methylthalisopavine) and protopines (allocryptopine and protopine), amurensine being the main alkaloid: 63.4% in in vitro shoots, up to 88.1% in the aerial parts of ex vitro adapted plants. Allocryptopine was in higher amount (30%) in the roots of the ex vitro adapted plants.

A technique for the long-term (up to 27 years) in vitro storage of valuable birch genotypes under normal (25 °C, 2.0 klx, 16-h day and 8-h night) and low temperature (4 °C, 0.5 klx, 6-h day and 18-h night) growing conditions on hormone-free media has been described. The study explored for the first time the influence of different strategies to store the clones of Betula pubescens and B. pendula var. сarelica (6 genotypes) on the regenerative capacity of collection samples, adaptive potential of regenerated plants and plant production by the in vitro and ex vitro techniques. It was established that both storage strategies provided a persistently high survival rate (82-100%) and regenerative capacity of in vitro shoots (the multiplication coefficient of 4.2-6.3 and rhizogenic activity of 90-100%). The clones retained their characteristics of height growth under the in vitro and ex vitro conditions, and demonstrated intraclonal homogeneity and lack of signs of somaclonal variability. The plants showed substantial interspecific differences at the stage of multiplication and transfer to the greenhouse. The highest percentage of acclimated plants (75-98% depending on the clone genotype) was obtained after planting of micro plants straight in the greenhouse, which simplified the technology and made plant production less costly. long-term in vitro storage, birch, species, genotype, micropropagation, ex vitro adaptation, plant material

The aim of the studies was to establish in vitro conditions for the culture of pea and lupin embryos as the first step in the development of an in vitro assisted single seed descent technique for the attainment of homozygous populations. Materials for the study included of pea, and narrow-leafed and yellow lupin cultivars. Embryos dissected from mature but still-green seeds were cultured in vitro on two modified MS media and under three temperature regimes. Shoot and root lengths of regenerated plants were measured after 7, 14 and 21 days of culture. For pea plants full-strength MS medium with 4 g l<sup>−1</sup> agar and temperature 22/ 20°C (day/night) appeared to be the most conducive to shoot and root development, whereas for lupin plants lower temperatures were more propitious: 12°C in the dark for narrow-leafed lupin and 16/ 12°C (day/night) for yellow lupin. Almost all the cultured embryos developed into plants, but not all the regenerated plants survived acclimation to ex vitro conditions.

Cultures of the Formosan sweetgum (Liquidambar formosana Hance) were established from axillary buds of intact plants and from petiole segments of in vitro grown leaves. Petiole segments were generally slower than axillary buds to form multiple shoot cultures. Thidiazuron in combination with 6-benzylaminopurine produced on average up to 9.4 shoots per explant. Shoot elongation was significantly affected by the concentration of 6-benzylaminopurine, regardless of auxin addition to the medium. Adventitious rooting occurred up to 90%. An unexpected pattern of adventitious rhizogenesis was observed from the aerial parts of microshoots not in contact with the rooting medium, including leaf blades and petiole axils. In vitro adventitious root formation from the leaf blade was associated with parenchyma cells surrounding the main vein. The regenerated plants established ex vitro did not show any detectable morphological variation and no aerial roots were formed.

Abstract In vitro propagation has been significant in producing a large number of genetically stable regenerated plants. Regenerated Ficus carica var. Black Jack plantlets were established using woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with 20 µM 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 8 µM Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) under different light treatments such as normal fluorescent white light (60 µmol.m− 2.s− 1), and four different LED spectra, white (400– 700nm), blue (440nm), red (660nm) and blue + red (440nm + 660nm). Genetic stability analysis was performed on the in vitro and ex vitro plants of Ficus carica var. Black Jack. Ten (10) primers of each ISSR and DAMD molecular marker were used to assess the genetic stability of the eight (8) samples of Ficus carica var. Black Jack, acquired over two years. The findings of this study revealed that inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) and directed amplification of minisatellite DNA (DAMD) markers (DNA primers) are efficient in determining the polymorphism and monomorphism percentage among the in vitro and ex vitro samples of Ficus carica var. Black Jack. ISSR markers showed 97.87% of monomorphism whereas DAMD markers showed 100% monomorphism. Polymorphism of 2.13% was observed for the UBC840 ISSR – DNA primer which was negated under the genetic similarity index analysis for the eight samples. It is recommended that genetic stability analysis should be performed for long-term maintenance of micropropagated plants.

Tissue culture technique can be an important approach for the rapid propagation of Humulus lupulus L. (hop plant). The present study evaluated different culture media for hop plants (cv. Columbus) in vitro shoots multiplication, as well as ex vitro rooting and plantlets establishment under field conditions at Southern Brazil. The culture medium containing the plant growth regulator thidiazuron (TDZ) resulted in greater in vitro shoots multiplications (five shoots per explant). For microcuttings ex vitro rooting, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) application at a concentration of 3000 mg L-1 resulted in higher rooting and survival percentages during acclimatization. After 90 days of acclimatization, the plantlets were transplanted under field conditions and had their development and productivity evaluated 122 days after transplanting. Micropropagated plants achieved 100% survival under field conditions. Nitrogen supply is highly necessary for hop plants initial development at Southern Brazil. Micropropagation is a viable technique for quality plantlet production of H. lupulus cv. Columbus.

Species from the genus Gypsophila are known for their medicinal, industrial and decorative applications. G. trichotoma Wend. is an endangered plant species for the Bulgarian flora according to the Red Data Book. Δ7-Sterols, which are unusual and rare in the plant kingdom, are present in the roots of this species. In previous studies different in vitro cultures were established from aerial parts of the species. The objective of this study was to explore the possibility for production of Δ7-sterols from in vitro cultured roots of G. trichotoma. The root cultures were grown on six modified MS media and the quantity of sterols was analyzed. These findings will serve to solve the important matter of the role of nutrients on sterols biosynthesis.

Tissue culture is a useful means to clonally propagate new ornamental plant selections, particularly when plant material is limited and/or conventional propagation methods are ineffective. An efficient in vitro multiplication protocol was established to propagate a new goatsbeard hybrid (Aruncus dioicus, × A. aethusifolia). The hybrid is of interest because it exhibits a dwarf habit, delicate white flower panicles and fern-like leaves, yet is tolerant to heat and humidity. Experiments were conducted to evaluate explant type (nodes, stems, leaves, and floral parts), disinfestation procedures, and media formulations including varying concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Rapid plant regeneration was obtained with a shoot organogenesis system using a half strength Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 4.4 μmol BAP, 0.54 μmol NAA, 30 g·L-1 sucrose, and 3.0 g·L-1 GelGro. Studies compared the performance and yield of plants rooted using different in vitro and ex vitro methods. Ex vitro rooting of shoots during greenhouse acclimatization under mist was most effective. Regenerated plants exhibited uniform and rapid growth, and performed well in greenhouse and field evaluations.

The complete protocol for regeneration and long-term micropropagation of several Polish cultivars of pea (<em>Pisum sativum </em>L.) has been elaborated. The shoots were the most likely regenerated via de novo organogenesis. The adventitious buds formed in callus derived from cotyledons tissue adjacent to the axillary meristems of immature embryos. All cultivars' calli regenerated several shoots per explant on the MS medium supplemented with B5 vitamins and 4.5 mgl<sup>-1</sup> of BAP, however some differences in regeneration capacity among cultivars were observed. The plantlets were subsequently micropropagated with slightly higher efficiency and preserving a good viability over the long-term culture on a medium containing 2.0 mgl<sup>-1</sup> than one with 4.5 mgl<sup>-1</sup> of BAP. The additional step of the pre-conditioning culture of multiplicated shoots on a medium with very low BAP concentration i.e. 0.02 mgl<sup>-1</sup> was applied and appeared to be beneficial before rooting in vitro or grafting. The modified MS-derived medium with the half-strength of MS macroelements but with the full original dose of calcium and supplemented with B5 vitamins and 1.0 mgl<sup>-1</sup> of NAA was developed for effective rooting. The shoots were also sufficiently transferred into ex vitro conditions using grafting. The majority of the regenerated plants had adapted to in vivo conditions in a greenhouse and subsequently has set seeds. The presented protocol provides relatively efficient rate of de novo pea regeneration and would be useful for <em>Agrobacterium</em>-mediated transformation purposes.

El uso de herramientas biotecnológicas como la micropropagación se constituye en una alternativa de reproducción de especies amenazadas y con tamaños poblacionales reducidos. Sin embargo, uno de los problemas críticos en el uso de la micropropagación como herramienta de reproducción es la calidad de las plántulas resultantes en cuanto a su crecimiento y vigor. En el presente trabajo se evalua los efectos de la micropropagación sobre los patrones de crecimiento y sobrevivencia de plán­tulas in vitro de Cinchona officinalis L., una especie que ha sido fuertemente impactada por procesos de tala dentro de bosques naturales durante la época de la colonia. Se realizó un monitoreo de un total de 120 plántulas in vitro y 1988 plántulas ex vitro por 8 meses a partir del último repique. Adi­cionalmente, en cada plántula se contabilizó la cantidad de brotes axilares. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron un efecto remanente de los procesos de micropropagación, los cuales inicialmente inciden en la cantidad de brotes de las plántulas y en el crecimiento; sin embargo, este efecto no influye de forma negativa en la sobrevivencia de las plántulas durante la fase ex vitro
