Effect of Medium Composition on in vitro Seed Germination and Plant Development in Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis L. cv. Evora)

Abstract

In the current study, the effects of De Greef & Jacobs (DG), Linsmaier & Skoog (LS), Murashige & Skoog (MS), and Schenk & Hildebrandt (SH) media were tested on seed germination and plant development in Poa pratensis cv. Evora. The highest germination rate (83±2.74%) was found on SH medium, whereas LS medium gave the lowest (46±4.18%) germination rate. The statistically same leaf numbers were recorded from SH (2.10±0.27) and DG (2.12±0.18) media. SH and DG media gave 4.28±0.28 cm and 4.16±0.31 cm mean leaf lengths, respectively. SH medium gave the maximum mean root number (3.09±0.26). However, the LS medium gave the lowest mean root number (1.84±0.10). The longest roots (1.43±0.19 cm) were observed in the plants grown in SH medium. However, DG medium had the minimum mean root length (0.81±0.08 cm). In conclusion, SH medium should be preferred over the other medium tested in in vitro tissue culture studies on the species to increase the biomass production yield. The efficacy of SH medium in the in vitro propagation of P. pratensis could be increased using growth promoters.
