  • Statistical Methods for Tissue Culture Medium Optimization and A Multiplexed Fingerprinting Set for Hazelnuts

    Creator:
    Akin, Melekşen
    Abstract:
    Hazelnut is one of the most important nuts in worldwide production and the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is the most economically important of the 11 recognized hazelnut species. Development of new cultivars is continuous, with emphasis on better nut quality, high yield and disease resistance. Hazelnuts are highly heterozygous,...

  • Micropropagation and regeneration of hazelnut (Corylus species)

    Creator:
    Yu, Xiaoling
    Abstract:
    A micropropagation system was developed for hazelnut cultivars and rootstocks. Culture establishment was affected by explant source, explant collecting season, and type of explant. The highest frequency of culture initiation and lowest tissue oxidation and contamination were obtained from internodes with single axillary buds from grafted greenhouse-grown plants early in...

  • Cryopreservation of Shoot Tips: Antioxidant Investigations with Rubus and Protocols for Mentha and Vaccinium

    Creator:
    Uchendu, Esther Eyiuche
    Abstract:
    Oxidative stress that occurs during cryopreservation may be reduced by the addition of antioxidants. Vitamin E (Vit E), Vitamin C (Vit C), glutathione (GSH), lipoic acid (LA), glycine betaine (GB) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were applied at four steps of the PVS2 vitrification protocol (pretreatment, loading, rinsing, and regrowth). Shoot tips...
