Abstract

The work deals with the effects of two culture media on the formation of axillary shoots of Spanish chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) in vitro culture. Data presented indicate that the composition of culture medium is important for induction of axillary shoots. The mean number of axillary shoots on the S2 medium was 2.95 per explant. By containing calcium to S, medium the number of produced shoots increased significantly (4.28 per explant) and formation of vitrified shoots decreased and drying of tip was suppressed. In the WPM, medium containing calcium, and callus formation and the elongation growth of shoots was suppressed. The mean number of axillary shoots on the WPM1 medium was 4.43 per explant in comparison with WPM2 medium which was 2.66 per explant.
