These studies were conducted to determine the most effective methods for increasing shoot elongation during the initial proliferation stage of micropropagation in two dwarfing apple, Malus × domestica (Borkh.), rootstock cultivars. Several experiments were conducted to compare explant collection date, exposure to chilling (5 ± 1 °C) temperatures, a...

... Clonal micropropagation of woody plants is often associated with the following problem: when planted in non-sterile conditions, rooted plants cease growing and go into dormancy (George and Davies 2008). A number of studies on plant dormancy have been performed on fruit trees in vitro (Bilavcik et al. 2012;Geng et al. 2016), but we do not know of any such studies on forest woody species. Meanwhile, the global trend in forestry is currently shifting from exploitation of natural forests to use of forest plantations with increased productivity and reduced rotation period (Warman 2014). ...
