Abstract
The goal of the research was to develop a technology for introducing Salicornia europaea L.into in vitro culture. Methods of cultivating meristems and callus cultures were studied. To cultivate meristems, the tip of the apical bud were used as an explant. Fragments of stems and leaves were used toobtain callus tissue. To study the influence of various factors on germination, seeds were soaked in sterile tap water and in solutions of gibberellin, cytokinin, auxin and NaCl, and were also subjected to cold stratification (independently and with subsequent placement in Knop’s agarized medium). Salicornia seeds were sterilized with various antiseptics: 70% alcohol, 10% aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite («Belizna»), amoxicillinand 3% hydrogen peroxide. The ability of the culture to form callus was studied in MS medium. As a result, it was determined that the highest germination of seeds was observed in Knop medium after treating theseeds with a suspension of green algae of the Scenedesmus genus, as well as after preliminary cold stratification, and slightly less after treating the seeds with a solution of NaCl and gibberellic acid. The most effective method of seed sterilization turned out to be treatment with alcohol followed by treatment with sodium hypochlorite. A comparative analysis of seed germination in filter paper in Petri dishes, Knop agar medium, Murashige and Skoog (hormone-free) was carried out. The ability of S. europaea L. to form callusin MS medium with phytohormones was assessed. Conclusion. To improve germination, it is recommended to subject the seeds to cold stratification. To obtain aseptic explants quickly, it is recommended to germinate the seeds in the Knop nutrient medium, having previously sterilized them with alcohol, then with sodiumhypochlorite, followed by washing with distilled water. The most suitable type of microclonal propagationfor S. europaea L. is the production of callus tissue followed by induction of organogenesis or embryogenesis.
