Availability of large number of disease free genuine planting
material is a major constraint in expanding area under pomegranate
cultivation for which tissue culture can be explored as an
alternative tool to fulfil the demand for elite planting material.
In the first part of the study an efficient in vitro propagation
protocol for pomegranate cv. G-137 (a superior clone of "Ganesh")
has been developed. Improper hardening of in vitro raised plantlets
leads to high field mortality and poor growth of plantlets which
act as a hurdle in popularization of in vitro propagation in
pomegranate. So, in the second part of the study four different
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) strains namely, Glomus mosseae,
Acaulospora laevis, Glomus manihotis and a mixed AMF strain were
used as biohardening agents to improve survival and growth of in
vitro raised pomegranate plantlets. The above said AMF strains were
also used in this study to enhance the performance of pomegranate
hardwood cuttings in terms of high success rate and subsequently
improved growth, physiological and biochemical attributes of
cutting derived plants.
