Abstract

Establishment of microplants is related to the moisture vapourtransmission of the culture vessel lid. In this respect, stomatal andcuticular physiology were characterized in detached leaves from Dianthuscaryophyllus grown in the glasshouse or in vitro at different rates ofventilation. In vitro plants grown in non-ventilated culture vessels hadless waxes and therefore higher RWL compared to in vitro plants grown at Vr0.86 changes.h−1. The improvement of stomatal function inleaves obtained in ventilated vessels can be due to a performance of ionicrelations between guard and subsidiary cells, mainly by an increasingK+ concentration in the guard cells as ventilation decreases.Moreover, data showthat there is an increase in free ABA in the leavesfromventilated culture vessels to compensate for the conjugated ABA lostduring desiccation. If the proliferation stage proceeds in ventilatedculture vessels, the physiological characteristics of the plants producedare better than those obtained in non-ventilated culture vessels, confirmedby higher survival after soil transplantion.
