Abstract: | Summary Comparative studies of carnation micropropagation under four different ventilation rates showed that using gas-permeable filters, with gelled or liquid media and modifying the volume of culture medium, it was possible to establish a suitable hydric state to obtain good proliferation rates with gelled and liquid medium, as well as optimal acclimatization of microcuttings. The following parameters were measured: ventilation rate, gas exchange coefficients, relative water loss, increase of agar concentration, micropropagation rates, percentage of hyperhydricity, and acclimatization rates. Our results confirm that it is possible to avoid hyperhydric plants cultured in liquid medium with the use of ventilated culture vessels through the control of the water relations during the multiplication phase and, at the same time, keeping the micropropagation rate. |
