Abstract

Experiments were performed to determine the effects ofcarbon source and concentration on shootmultiplication in shoot cultures of Fagussylvatica (one clone) and F. orientalis (twoclones) and on the induction of adventitious shootbuds from leaf and internode explants of F.orientalis. In general, glucose was the best carbonsource for both axillary branching and adventitiousshoot regeneration. Shoot-tip explants grown on 3–4%glucose medium produced more shoots than those onsucrose or fructose. For maximum shoot length, glucosemedium was best for two of the three clones, and 4%sucrose for the other. The number of shoots was theparameter most influenced by glucose concentration inthe adventitious shoot regeneration experiments, thenumber increasing with sugar concentration. The lowesthyperhydricity rate occurred in the presence ofsucrose in both species. Shoot growth and quality wasnegatively affected by fructose supplied media. Theuse of filter-sterilized rather than autoclavedfructose neither stimulated shoot growth nor reducedthe incidence of hyperhydricity in all three clones.The response of shoot cultures to differentcarbohydrate treatments appears to some extent to begenotype dependent.
