Proceed<strong>in</strong>g of the 4 rd International Symposium“NEW RESEARCH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY” USAMV Bucharest, Romania, 2011and necrosis of plant tips. The plants died after the third month. The content of 4%mannitol <strong>in</strong> the medium blocked the growth and <strong>de</strong>velopment of plants. The survival ratewas low (20%) and plants died <strong>in</strong> the first month after <strong>in</strong>oculation.mm353025Plant heightRoot length20151050МS0 MS 1% MS 2% MS 3%Concentration of mannitolFig. 2 Effect of mannitol on the plant height and root length of A. montana un<strong>de</strong>rconditions of slow growthMultiplication of A. montana plants after prolonged <strong>in</strong> vitro conservation: In vitro culturescould be effectively ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed for 6 months. The plants were transferred to MS free mediumwithout growth regulator and osmoticum <strong>in</strong> or<strong>de</strong>r to return towards normal growth and<strong>de</strong>velopment. The plant growth was restored at a temperature of 22 ± 2 °C and light <strong>in</strong>tensity of40 µMm -2 s -1 . The plants subsequently were micropropagated on MS media conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g 1.0 mg/lBAP alone or <strong>in</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation with 0.1 mg /l IAA after three and six months of storage. Shootsthat had been <strong>in</strong>cubated for 6 months multiplied slowly on multiplication medium un<strong>de</strong>r normalgrowth conditions. It was necessary one or two passages of plants subcultivation before startedthe process micropropagation. Basal part of plant tissue slowly expan<strong>de</strong>d and <strong>in</strong>duction of newvegatative buds was started. The <strong>in</strong>crease of the swollen tissues and the formation ofadventitious buds were more obviously <strong>in</strong> cultures grown on MS medium supplemented with 1mg/l BAP and 0.1 mg/l IAA. On this medium also the higher micropropagation rate wasobserved <strong>in</strong> comparison with plants cultivated on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l BAP.The plants produced 2-3 new shoots (MS medium with 1 mg/l BAP) and 3.5- 4 shoots (MSmedium with 1 mg/l BAP and 0.1 mg/l IAA) dur<strong>in</strong>g sub-cultivation after three months ofstorage. The micropropagation frequency was significantly lower <strong>in</strong> plants ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed sixmonths <strong>in</strong> terms of slower growth than <strong>in</strong> three months (Table 3). S<strong>in</strong>ce the height of the plantswas reduced dur<strong>in</strong>g storage and ma<strong>in</strong> axes of the shoots were <strong>in</strong> a passive state, when the plantswere transferred to fresh medium for micropropagation they grew <strong>in</strong>to viable buds. The plantswere rooted successfully on ½ MS medium conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g 0.5 mg/l IBA for rhizogenesis. Rootswere observed with<strong>in</strong> two weeks after the transfer of root<strong>in</strong>g medium.60
