Effect of incubation light intensity, antioxidants and phenol binding agents on in vitro oxidative browning on culture initiation of grapevine
Year: 1992
Type: article
Abstract: Explants of ‘Pusa Seedless’ and ‘Beauty Seedless’ cvs. of field grown mature grapevine were cultured on MS semi-solid medium supplemented with 5 μM 6-benzylaminopurine. The cultured explants were initially exposed to varying levels of light intensity (0 to 3500 lux) with a duration ranging from 24 to 72 hours followed by continuous exposure to light intensity of 3500 lux under 16 h/8 h light dark photoperiod. Initial exposure to complete darkness for 72 h resulted in slight decrease in oxidative browning with a corresponding increase in explant survival. Various antioxidants and phenol binding agents had either deleterious or no influence on explants and some of the treatments had at best marginal influence in controlling oxidative browning.
