Abstract
An optimum culture medium for micropropagation of pomegranate, cvs. ‘Malase Yazdi’ and ‘Shirine Shahvar’ is defined and protocols have been developed for in vitro shoot proliferation and rooting of the cultivars. Axillary buds of young shoots were used as explants. The shoots were multiplied in vitro on Murashige and Skoog (MS) supplemented with 0, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 mg.l−1 of N6-benzyladenine (BA). The micropropagated/cloned shoots were rooted on MS and half strength (1/2) of MS containing indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at three concentrations (0, 0.5, and 1 mg.l−1) and 0.5 mg.l−1 naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The cultivar ‘Malase Yazdi’ multiplied better than ‘Shirine Shahvar’. In both cultivars, the maximum shoot number with maximum shoot height was produced on medium with 2 mg.l−1 BA. Control medium free from plant growth regulator also supported shoot multiplication. The cultured shoots exhibited the greatest number of leaves on a medium containing 2.5 mg.l−1 BA. The cloned shoots of ‘Malase Yazdi’ rooted the best on half-strength MS medium with 0.5 mg.l−1 IBA while shoots of ‘Shirine Shahvar’, rooted on 1 mg.l−1 IBA and 0.5 mg.l−1 NAA in half MS medium. This method can be used to quickly propagate and conservation of these two pomegranate cultivars for future prospects.
