Effects of Nanosilicon Dioxide Application on in Vitro Proliferation of Apple Rootstock

摘要: ABSTRACTAlthough silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element of earth's crust and in soils, it not listed among essential elements for plants. However, beneficial role Si stimulating growth development many plant species has been recognized. This study investigated effects vitro application nanosilicon oxide on proliferation apple rootstock MM106 tissue culture. The experiment included five levels (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 mg/L) added to Murashige Skoog medium. results showed that using increased fresh dry weights, length number branches, chlorophyll explants with highest increase being at 100 mg/L. Growth suppression occurred 200 mg/L. investigation 100 mg/L can be medium fast explants.
