Abstract: | Crithmum maritimum (Apiaceae), a perennial halophyte native in Greece, could be used as an alternative culture at problematic soils. It presents significant economical potentials as its essential oils are in high demand from the medicinal and cosmetic industry. The response of the species on in vitro conditions was studied. MS proved to be the most effective of the basal media tested for in vitro adventitious shoot production, resulting in significantly increased number of new microshoots/explant and higher shoots. 6-Benzyladenine (BA) at 2.5 μM increased shoot proliferation. The combination of α-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) (1–2.5 μM) with BA (2.5 μM) had a positive influence at simultaneous proliferation and rooting resulting in high rooting percentage (82.5–95%) and increased number of roots. Rooting percentage reached 100% and number of roots increased significantly when 0.5 μM and 1 μM IBA was combined with ½MS and full strength MS. The in vitro response to salinity stress (0–300 mM NaCl) was also tested. Shoot proliferation was gradually reduced at higher concentrations of NaCl but shoot height was enhanced. Acclimatization procedure was successful. |
