Abstract

Response of grapevines to tissue culture has been reported to be genotype dependent, hence it becomes imperative to optimize culture conditions for newly developed varieties or cultivars, needing a large scale planting but availability of sufficient planting stock is a constraint. In the present study, conditions for in vitro propagation of six popular table grape cultivars have been standardized. Single node stem segments of cultivars 2A-Clone of Thompson Seedless, Red Globe, Crimson Seedless, Thompson Seedless, Flame Seedless and Italia cultured on ten different basal media showed varied percentages of bud break and morphogenetic responses. The percentage of bud break varied among the six cultivars. Direct rooting at basal ends of single node segments was observed in all the cultivars except in Italia. Woody plant medium induced the highest response and Eriksson medium the least in all the cultivars tested. Rooted nodal segments with shoots in axils could be established into whole plants on potting. Six cultivars showed different optimum concentrations of growth regulators for induction of maximum number of multiple shoots in both primary as well as secondary nodal segments. Shoot proliferation could be enhanced by several fold in the majority of cultivars on culture of initial shoot clumps to glass bottles instead of culture tubes. Six cultivars showed significant differences in optimum requirement of nutrients and growth regulators for shoot elongation, in vitro and ex vitro rooting and survival rate. Tissue culture plants of all the six cultivars could establish successfully in a greenhouse.
