Abstract: | Three clones of Coriandrum sativum L. shoots were obtained from three seedlings and micropropagated alternately on modified MS media containing kinetin only and kinetin plus indolyl-3-acetic acid (IAA). During the first 9 months of culture the shoots possessed the juvenile phenotype after which a sharp transition to mature phenotype occurred. In 15–17 months this was followed by shoot necrosis and decrease in number of shoots in the clones, leading to death of the clones.Conditions of in vitro culture tripled the length of the juvenile period. Mature phase of the shoots was stable in that no reversion to the juvenile phase was observed. Partial rejuvenation of mature shoots took place owing to formation of adventitious shoots in the callus formed at the shoot base. However maturation of such rejuvenated adventitious shoots took place much more rapidly in comparison with micropropagated juvenile shoots derived from seedlings. Reduction of the morphogenic potential of the mature shoots after 15–17 months of subculturing, an increase in number of abnormal shoots and shoot necrosis indicated physiological ageing of the clones.Data presented in the paper provide evidence of the clone ageing phenomenon during prolonged subculture in vitro. |
