Micropropagation of Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait

Abstract

Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) is an economically and biologically valuable berry crop. The increase of cranberry resources is possible only with the industrial cultivation of it. The use of classical methods of vegetative propagation (cutting) not always leads to the desired results. Industrial cultivation of cranberry by methods of plants clonal micropropagation is effective method for production of high-quality planting material in large quantities in a short period of time. The article provides information from different literary sources about micropropagation of cranberry cultivars. Peculiarities of cranberry micropropagation by axillary bud proliferation and induction of adventitious buds by tissues of explant (leaf) are described. Methods of rooting (in vitro and ex vitro) and conditions of cranberry plants acclimatization are described.
