Optimalization of Flurprimidol Concentration for Improvement of Acclimatization Rate and In Vitro Growth Inhibition in Bioreactor Culture of Strawberry Plantlets via Bioreactor Culture

초록

This study was conducted to improve the acclimatization rate of in vitro strawberry plantlets through bioreactor culture using the growth retardant flurprimidol. Different concentrations [0 (Control), 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg.L-1] of flurprimidol were added during bioreactor culture. After six weeks of treatments, various growth characteristics were investigated and in vitro plantlets were acclimated in the greenhouse. The growth rate of treated plantlets was much lower than that of control, and as the treatment concentration increased, the growth rate was much decreased. Shoots of plantlets treated with flurprimidol were shorter (2.2-3.7 cm) than those of control (7.9 cm). The number of roots per treated plant was around 11.6-34.2, compared with 51.8 in the control. Root length was also lower (0.88-3.08 cm) than control (4.36 cm). However, the number of new shoots and leaves increased in all treatments except for 2.0 mg.L-1 concentration. The root was partially decayed in 1.0 mg.L-1 concentration and was completely decayed in 2.0 mg.L-1. The survival rate in 0.1 mg.L-1 and 0.5 mg.L-1 concentrations was 100% and 23.3% respectively. After four weeks of acclimatization, the plantlets restarted growth, and growth characteristics of shoots and roots recovered to the levels of control, except for fresh weight. Based on our results, a concentration of 0.1 mg.L-1 flurprimidol is appropriate for improvement of acclimatization rate of in vitro strawberry plantlets in bioreactor culture.
