Notes:
Summary An increasing number of woody plant species can be axenically propagated using plant tissue culture methods. These techniques produce high quality healthy plants but transplant problems often arise due to their being susceptible to different environmental stresses. Mycorrhizae can play a vital role in plant nutrition and survival and their introduction during the production of axenically propagated plants could contribute to the success of this technique. Using a simple method for axenic establishment and direct observation of VA mycorrhizal cultures,in vitro mycorrhizal synthesis of a woody plant species has been obtained for the first time using axenically propagated plants ofPrunus avium L. (wild cherry) and the VA fungusGigaspora margarita.
