Abstract

Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is globally cultivated as commercial fruit crop usually used for fruit purpose or industrial product. The objective of the current review is to review and identify the research gap on the effect of different growth media and vitrification on shooting and rooting performance of grape. Factors affecting rooting of grape cuttings can be internal or external factors. Currently, grapevines are very sensitive to disease in the conventional method of propagation. Even if tissue culture is recommended for healthy propagation of the grape varieties, still factors affecting the growth of the plant verifications were reported. This, review paper progressively revised for the existing factors and possible solutions during in vitro propagation of grapevines. Int. J. Agril. Res. Innov. Tech. 10(1): 1-5, June 2020

Highlights

Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is globally cultivated as commercial fruit crop usually used for fruit purpose or industrial product (Orhan et al, 2009)
In vitro micro propagation of grape cultivars challenged by different factors: media types, concentration of hormones, vitrification and growing mechanisms
Grapevines are very sensitive to disease in the conventional method of propagation

Summary

Introduction

Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is globally cultivated as commercial fruit crop usually used for fruit purpose or industrial product (Orhan et al, 2009). It used in folk medicine for its biological activities since ancient times. The combination of various growth regulators and their concentrations significantly influences shoot length due to their effect on cell division and cell expansion (Khan et al, 2015) Virtification is another factor (bottleneck) for the establishment of grape tissue culture (Bi et al, 2017). The aim of this work was to assess the factors affecting tissue culture of grapes
