Subtitle:The importance of precultures for micropropagation of explants containing endophytes
Creator: Publisher:Committee on Biotechnology PAS ; Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS
Date issued/created: Subject and Keywords: Abstract:An endophyte is a microorganism that spends most of its life cycle interor intra-cellularily of the host organism without causing its disease. As a resultof the high frequency of endophytes in plants, it is virtually impossible to isolate tissue or cell explants free from contaminants. Consequently, preculture(i.e. “stage 0”) is necessary before disinfecting and stabilisation of in vitro cultures, to eliminate explants that are sources of persistent contamination. Particularly dangerous are latent bacterial contaminants, which initially do not causeany symptoms and are propagated with plant material. Their presence becomesconspicuous after the passage to a sucrose-free medium or after transplantationto the soil.
