Creation of new varieties of forest berry plants and prospects of their intensive reproduction (in vitro)

Research findings to introduce and breed for cultivation in Russia berry plant species (America cranberry, European cranberry, cowberry, swamp blueberry, lowbush blueberry, Arctic raspberry and mountain raspberry). High productive brands and types of these species for plantation production have been developed. Procedures for forest berry crop clonal micro-propagation based on biotechnical methods have been developed. Impacts of various phytohormones of auxin and cytokinin group at all stages of in viro propagation have been studied. It is outlined that available 2 stages - shooting with growth stimulator application is specifics of forest berry crop clonal propagation. Optimal number of passages to propagate plants using cell and tissue cultures.
