In vitro propagation of Koronaki and Coratina olive CVS

Abstract EN

Experiments carried out through 2016 revealed that a proper protocol for the in vitro propagation of Koronaki and Coratina olive cvs.

as follows : Steri-lization of stem node explants was carried out suc-cessfuly with copper sulphate at 50mg/l for Koro-naki cv.

And Ampicillin at 150mg/l for Coratina cv.

both cultured on Olive medium.Multiplication on MS medium enriched with BAP at 1.5mg/l for both cvs.

Rooting of Koronaki on half sterngth OM medi-um enriched with IBA at 0.5mg/l and Coratina on half sterngth MS medium enriched with NAA at 0.1mg/l.

Acclimization of Koronaki plantlets derived from half strength OM rooting medium and acclimatized on peat : sand (1:1) and Coratina plantlets derived from MS rooting medium and acclimatized on peat :sand : vermiculite (1:1:1).
