In vitro maintenance, under slow-growth conditions, of oil palm germplasm obtained by embryo rescue.
Author(s): CAMILLO, J.; PEREIRA, J. E. S.
Summary: The objective of this work was to evaluate the in vitro maintenance of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis and E. oleifera) accessions under slow?growth conditions. Plants produced by embryo rescue were subject to ½MS culture medium supplemented with the carbohydrates sucrose, mannitol, and sorbitol at 1, 2, and 3% under 20 and 25±2ºC. After 12 months, the temperature of 20°C reduced plant growth. Sucrose is the most appropriate carbohydrate for aintaining the quality of the plants, whereas mannitol and sorbitol result in a reduced plant survival.
