Abstract

Today, many living organisms are negatively affected by climate change and anthropogenic activities, which leads to a decrease in their numbers. One of these rare and endangered plant species is the Ili barberry (Berberis iliensis) and the Karkaraly barberry (Berberis karkaralensis). This work is devoted to the optimization study of the cultivation conditions for a rare and endangered species of Ili barberry and Karkaralinsky barberry in vitro. To obtain sterile and viable explants, the sterilizing agent was a solution of 0.5% «Domestos» (7 min). For the regeneration of the main shoot of the barberry, the optimal nutrient medium is Murashige and Skoogwith the addition of 6-benzylaminopurine- 0.5 mg/l, gibberellic acid- 1.0 mg/l, indole-3-butyric acid -0.01 mg/l, where regeneration was 80% for the Ili barberry, barberry karkaralinsky - 70%. For the multiplication of Berberis iliensis microshoots, the Quoirin & Lepoivre culture medium with the addition of 0.75 mg/l - benzylaminopurine is optimal; the number of microshoots formed was 3.6 per explant. Root formation is one of the most difficult stages in micropropagation. For the rooting of microshoots of Karkaralinsky barberry, a nutrient medium of ½ Murashige and Skoog was used with the addition of indolylbutyric acid -1.5 mg/l.
