Abstract
The effects of solutions for pretreatment and length of low-temperature storage period of runners on the plantlet growth were examined in shoot apex culture of strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa D.) . For pretreatment, the solutions (Distilled water, MS liquid medium without sucrose, 1/10 MS liquid medium without sucrose, 30g 1-1 sucrose solution, 30g 1-1 glucose solution) were absorbed by runnners for 24 h at 20°C. It was found that solutions for pretreatment and length of low-temperature storage period of runners influence the survival rate of shoot apex and plantlet growth. Following pretreatment with 1/10 MS liquid medium, runners can be stored at low-temperature for 5 weeks without any effects on the survival rate or the plantlet growth.
