The highest number of shoots occurred on glucose-containing medium. Nevertheless, we have chosen 3% sucrose which induced a similar rate of proliferation but favoured shoot elongation, permitting an effectively higher number of shoots during transfers. Sorbitol and autoclaved fructose did not stimulate shoot proliferation. Adventitious root formation was strongly dependent on carbohydrate supply. Sorbitol and autoclaved fructose were completely ineffectively on rooting induction. Glucose was the most effective carbon source on rooting promotion followed by sucrose and filter-sterilized fructose. The rooting response induced by fructose was dependent on the sterilizing procedure. The number of adventitious roots produced per shoot increased with increasing glucose and sucrose concentration. The content of reducing sugars in leaves of proliferation cultures and in leaves and roots of rooted plantlets was more dependent on carbon concentration than on glucose or sucrose supplement. The results presented here show that carbohydrate requirements during cork oak micropropagation depend upon the phase of culture. Sucrose (3%) and glucose (4%) were the best carbon sources respectively during proliferation and rooting phases.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>3</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noronha, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martins-Loução, M a</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Effect of in vitro cold storage on surviving and proliferation of cork-oak (Quercus suber L.) cultures</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Congreso Forestal Español, 14 e 18 Junho de 1993, Lourizán</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cold storage</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cork-oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germplasm</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medium-term storage</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">micropropagation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber L.</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1993</style></year></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork-oak cultures were stored in vitro without na intervening subculture, at 5º C in the dark for 5 months without loosing their capacity to regenerate when subcultured under standard conditions. The viability, proliferation rate and elongation of the explants were evaluated during 5 months of storage. Proliferation rate of stored cultures was observed during 5 months of storage. Proliferation rate of stored cultures was observed during the following 3 profileration cycles and compared to unstored controls of the same age. Shoot cultures survived with 100% viability and the proliferation rate was not statistically different from the controls. The results here described indicate the feasibility of establishing na in vitro active gene bank for Quercus suber.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martins-Loução, M a</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Micropropagation of mature cork-oak (Querqus suber L.): establishment problems</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scientia gerundensis</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">browning</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">contaminants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cork-oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">micropropagation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">phenolic compounds</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber L.</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">tissue culture</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1992</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17-27</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Procedures have been developed to standardize the establishment stage during mature cork-oak (Quercus suber L.) micropropagation. Axillary and terminal buds cultured in Gresshof and Doy (1972) (GD) medium were used as first explant. Establishment of cultures was very difficult due to browning of the tissue and/or the medium and bacterial contamination. Browning problems, probably due to phenolic compounds exudation of the primary explant, were found to be higher in winter. Nevertheless, initiation of cultures was possible all over the year, presumably due to the preconditioning of cuttings. Explants were established in a GD medium containing 6-benzlaminopurine (BAP) 1 mgl-1. Every 4 weeks the cultures were subcultured to the same GD medium and induced to proliferate being 4:1 the multiplication rate. Shoots were induced to elongate by decreasing BAP concentration. In vitro rooting on agar-solidified medium suplemented with 1 mgl-1 indolacetic acid (IAA) gave the best results. Liquid medium (sorbarod system) and in vivo rooting were also assayed.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
