Abstract

Paper description:

  • Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) with its edible stem tuber formed at the base of plant stem, presents a valuable source of nutrients.
  • The effects of plant growth regulators and different concentrations of various sugars on kohlrabi in vitro development and tuber formation were studied.
  • Growth and development of treated kohlrabi seedlings was highly affected in a distinctive manner with altered morphological traits. Plant growth regulators stimulated callus formation and de novo organogenesis.
  • Further investigation of the underlying mechanisms is necessary for understanding stem swelling in kohlrabi and involvement of the carbon source, plant hormones and/or other factors.


Abstract: Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes), with its edible stem tuber formed at the base of the plant stem, presents a valuable source of nutrients. The potential effects of plant growth regulators (PGRs), as well as various concentrations of different sugars on the in vitro development of kohlrabi were studied. Ten-day-old kohlrabi seedlings were cultivated in vitro for 5 weeks at 18±2°C on half-strength MS media containing different concentrations of carbon source such as sucrose, fructose, glucose, xylose and mannitol, combined with or without specific plant growth regulators (N6-benzyladenine (BA), gibberellic acid (GA3), 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA)). Results showed no tuber formation in all treatments, but growth and development of treated kohlrabi seedlings was significantly affected in a distinctive manner, with a variety of morphological traits being altered in comparison to matching controls.
