Effect of Sodium Chloride on the in vitro development of cultivars 'Gran enano' and 'FHIA 03'
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2002, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The effect of Sodium Chloride levels on in vitro development of Gran Enano (AAA) and `FHIA 03`(AABB) cultivars was determined. Researches were carried out at Instituto de Investigaciones en Viandas Tropicales (INIVIT) from 1999 to 2001. Meristems (3 mm) were situated in M 3 medium supplented with different sodium chloride concentrations at a range of 0 10 000 ppm. They were incubated during 40 days in cach subculture until 80 days when they were evaluated at 25 ± 27°C temperature, DFFF 45 µmol m -2 s -1 light intensity a photoperiod of 16 hours per day and 85% relative humidity. Tolerance levels to sodium chloride are highly influenced by genotypes used. Gran Enano cultivar had success up to 4 500 ppm with a surviving of 96.7% and 25% damaged leaves. FHIA 03 Hybrid showed tolerance to high salt levels from 2 500 to 8 000 ppm with 80.9% surviving but leaves were affected at 72.5%. Studies are recommended to continue with target genotypes including main marketable clones and diploids for genetic improvement.
