  4. 3. The use of cryoprotectants in unrooted cuttings of Pelargonium zonale, in order to increase their life expectancy

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Maria Hellström; [2017]
    Keywords : cryoprotectants; mother plants; Pelargonium cuttings; pulsed electric fields; vacuum impregnation; unrooted;

    Abstract : The rooting capacity of an unrooted Pelargonium zonale cutting decreases immensely 96 hours after being cut. The aim of this paper was to evaluate if two different cryoprotectants, 25% glucose and 30% trehalose, with the help of vacuum impregnation and pulse electric fields could result in an increase in the life expectancy of these cuttings.
