Abstract
The growth of the strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa Duch. cv. Houkouwase) explants/plantlets rooted by the direct ex-vitro rooting method (DM) was compared with that of those rooted by the conventional method (CM). In DM, explants taken from micropropagated shoots were inserted into rockwool plugs and cultured in the environmental control unit by hydroponics using a diluted nutrient solution. In CM, the explants were cultured and grown in vitro to the plantlets on a sugar-added medium. After rooting, they were acclimatized in the same environmental control unit. Fresh and dry weights, leaf area, number of leaves, and plant height of the plantlets were larger by the DM than CM.
