Screening of apple, pear, cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant and strawberry plants for Cold Storage Duration on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs). Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs) showed that the viability depends on the breed and genotype, better preserved berry crops, worse fruit. The effect of plant growth regulators, carbon sources and nitrate nitrogen on the storage duration in vitro of various crops in low positive temperature and illumination conditions was studied. Many genotypes were well preserved at 4°C in semi-permeable plastic tissue-culture bags for cultivation in MS medium with 3% sucrose or 2% sucrose + 2% mannitol with or without PGRs. Reducing the nitrogen concentration increased the storage duration of some crops (apple, pear), but abscisic acid did not improve the storage time. In vitro cold collection is a reserve of the field collection and now has 196 samples of fruit and berry crops stored in bags for cultivation on MS medium with Nitrate nitrogen at 50%, 0.5 mg·L-1 N6 benzylaminopurine (BAP), 0.1 mg·L-1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) with 3% sucrose and 0.75% agar at pH 5.7.

INTRODUCTION maintenance of collections is based only on vegetative reproduction. Using this approach is a reliable and cost- In Kazakhstan various varieties of fruit and berry effective way to preserve genetic resources and allows crops are cultivated and unique wild-growing forms are to maintain the viability and regenerative ability of plants grown, including apple tree (Malus sieversii (Ledeb.) M. for a long time, protects collections from the impact of Roem., Malus x domestica Borkh.), pear (Pyrus extreme environmental factors, minimizes the communis L., Pyrus regelii Rehder), cherry (Prunus probabikity of genetic changes. Preservation of the gene cerasus L., Cerasus tomentosa Thunb., Cerasus pool in vitro is carried out in two ways: a) Limiting the fruticosa Pall.), raspberries (Rubus idaeus L.), growth of crops in conditions of low positive blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) and strawberries temperatures of 3-10°C (cold storage) and effective in (Fragaria L., Fragaria x ananassa Duch.), adapted to the case of short and medium – from 1 to 10 years of local environmental conditions. However, in recent storage. Against the background of cold storage, decades, under the effect of environmental and additional methods of delaying metabolic processes are anthropogenic factors, there has been a reduction in the carried out – the use of growth inhibitors and the areas occupied by these plants. reduction of nutrients and hormones in media; b) Deep Currently, along with traditional methods of freezing and storage at an ultra-low temperature of - preserving genetic resources (in nature reserves, 196°C (cryopreservation) when the metabolism is national parks, partial reserves, pomological and completely slowed down, it is used for long-term botanical gardens), there is the most promising storage. If necessary, at any time, the material can be approach to solving this problem – the creation of germplasm bank using in vitro biotechnological Received: November 2019 methods, especially relevant for the conservation of fruit Accepted: March 2020 and berry plants, since their reproduction and Printed: May 2020 1213

The test involved restore phytocenosis. five plants of each genotype without repetitions. The The most common method of maintaining collections condition of stored plants was evaluated every 3 months of plant tissues in vitro, which allows to increase the shelf on a scale from 0 to 5 points, in appearance: 1 - plants life of plant material, is the use of low positive are brown, sometimes yellow; 2 - plants are yellow- temperatures (Blakesley et al. 1996). The success of the brown; 3 - plants are etiolated, yellow-green; 4 - plants method is determined by the genotype (Engelmann with slight etiolation, green; 5 - plants with bright green 1997), but it also depends on the storage temperature, leaves and stems. Observations were made before the illumination, nutrient composition, and precultivation of complete death of plants. plant tissues before laying for cold storage (Jouve et al. Under the same conditions, experimental studies 2000, Mbulawa 2017). were conducted to determine the optimal nutrient media To slow down the growth of aseptic plants, the for each culture, increasing the duration of in vitro plant composition of the nutrient medium is modified (Reed cold storage. To determine the composition of the 1999). In particular, osmotically active substances such nutrient medium that increases the shelf life of all the as mannitol and polyethylene glycol are used (Chen and studied crops, the effect of carbohydrates and their Dribnenki 2004), reducing the concentration of basic concentrations, plant growth regulators (0.5 mg·L-1 N6 media by 25% and 50% (Moriguchi and Yamaki 1989, benzylaminopurine (BAP), 0.1 mg·L-1 indole-3-butyric Mitrofanova et al. 2018.), add sucrose and a retardant, acid (IBA) and nitrogen in MS medium was studied. chlorcholinchloride, to the nutrient medium (Mitrofanova Carbon sources – 3% sucrose, 2% or 3% mannitol, 2% et al. 2018). In addition, they reduce the photoperiod sucrose + 2% mannitol, nitrogen source - salts (Reed 1999), use different materials for closing test containing nitrogen nitrate (NO3) with a concentration of tubes (Vysotskaya 2001), or store samples in plastic 100%, 50%, 25%, each variant was with or without plant heat-sealed bags (Reed 1992). Low partial pressure growth regulators. The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) in oxygen storage is also used (Brindgen et al. 1981), the concentration of 0.1; 0.5; 1.0 mg /l was studied. under a layer of mineral oil (Calpin 1959), in low Each experiment was a randomized scheme with 5 illumination (Preil 1985), or in total darkness (Marino et shoots in three repetitions for each genotype (n = 15). al. 1985, Platonova et al. 2019). The condition of stored plants was assessed according Cold storage of genetic resources in in vitro to the criteria given above. Plants with a rating >2 (out of germplasm bank is an important part of the strategy for 5) were left for storage for another 3 months, plants with preserving plant biodiversity, ensuring long-term reliable a rating ≤2 were extracted and re-propagated (Reed et conservation and use of the gene pool for scientific and al., 2005). The data was analyzed by ANOVA with industrial purposes. Many countries have germplasm SYSTAT version 8.0. banks of economically important plants. Kazakhstan is also taking measures to preserve the genetic resources RESULTS of agricultural plants in the gene bank. Screening of Viability of Fruit and Berry The aim of this research was to study the effect of Crops under Conditions of In Vitro Cold Storage plant growth regulators (PGRs), carbohydrates and The duration of storage of 23 genotypes of apple, 9 - nitrogen on the duration of in vitro storage of various fruit pear, 59 - cherry, 32 - plum, 11 - cherry, 55 - raspberry, and berry crops. As well as screening the longevity of 16 - black currant, 8 - strawberry, contained in a storing genotypes of apple, pear, cherry, raspberry, hormone-free MS medium, at a low positive temperature blackcurrant and strawberry at a low positive and low illumination was studied. temperature and low illumination. The duration of storage depended on the genotype, type of container in which plants are stored, as well as METHODOLOGY temperature and illumination. The determining factor In vitro cold storage durability screening was that slows down the metabolic processes of plants performed for varieties, wild forms and hybrids of: apple, during storage was the temperature of 3-4°C, as well as pear, cherry, bird cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant and the duration and degree of illumination – a 10-h strawberry, contained at 3-4°C, illumination of 10 µm m- photoperiod, illumination of 10 µmol m-2s-1. Keeping 2 -1 s and 10-h photoperiod in glass jars and semi- plants in plastic air-permeable bags is more effective permeable plastic tissue-culture bags (Star Pac Bags, than in glass jars.

In the in vitro germoplasm cold bank, including: 39 apple media without PGRs, a reduction in nitrogen content of trees, 31 pears, 7 cherries, 8 plums, 3 cherry plums, 3 up to 25 and 50% increased the duration of conservation cherries, 42 raspberries, 32 strawberries, 28 black of ‘Golden Delicious’ plants to 30 months, rating of ≥ 3.0 currants, 3 blackberries. and 3.0, respectively (control of ≥1.2 and ≥2.0). In the same period, the state of ‘Voskhod’ was assessed at ≥ DISCUSSION 2.0 and 1.8, and ‘Maksat’ at ≥1.6 and 1.4. On media with Most researchers note that the duration of in vitro PGRs and with 25 and 50% nitrogen, the condition of cold storage of plants at a low positive temperature plants was worse for 30 months, with ‘Golden Delicious’ depends on the genotype of the preserved plant, the rating of ≥ 1.8 and 2.6, ‘Voskhod’ ≥1.2 and 1.8, and components of nutrient media, especially the content of ‘Maksat’ ≥1.4 and 1.0. carbohydrates, nitrogen and growth regulators, have a The effect of nitrogen concentration also varied great influence. depending on the cherry variety. Some experiments had The results of our experiments are similar in many a good rating without much difference when stored from respects to the results of other researchers, but they 12 to 18 months. The rating of shoots when using a differ in some positions of temperature and light modes, standard MS medium with 100% nitrogen nitrate often as well as hormonal and nutritional composition. In our did not differ significantly from experiments with a experiments, the combination of several cold storage reduced nitrogen content. Many treatments were factors – temperature regime of 3-4°C and 10-h effective for ‘Dalnyaya’ variety, but the shoots were photoperiod, optimal nutrient medium with the best stored better – 30 months – with PGRs in packages with options of carbohydrate and nitrogen nutrition, MS 100% nitrogen. ‘Moya Radost’ can be stored medium with 25-50% N03 and 3% sucrose или 2% successfully for 30 months in many experiments with sucrose + 2% mannitol without PGRs, increased the 100% nitrogen or 25% nitrogen in packages without cold storage time of apple trees of ≥36 months. The PGRs. ‘Zhukovskaya’ had a lower rating than the other increase in the duration of pear cold storage was on MS two varieties for 30 months with the best nitrogen medium with a reduced nitrogen content and the concentrations of 100% or 25% in packages without addition of 2% sucrose + 2% mannitol and with or PGRs. Reducing the nitrogen concentration in MS without PGRs. Cherries were well preserved on MS medium to 25% without PGRs increased the shelf life of nutrient medium with 100% nitrogen content with 3% ‘Mramornaya’ pear to 36 months, compared with 18 sucrose or 2% sucrose + 2% mannitol and with PGRs. months in the control, and ‘Talgarskaya krasavitsa’ is Raspberry - on a medium with 3% sucrose in viable for 18 months in this medium compared to 6 combination with PGRs.

PGRs as carbohydrates (Kovalchuk et al. 2009). At the All-Russian Institute of plant genetic resources The same temperature regime is recommended by named after N. I. Vavilov (AIP) the germplasm of berry Towill L. E. About 80% of pear shoots retained a healthy and fruit crops is preserved on MS nutrient medium with appearance and green color with normal morphology up 50% of the composition of mineral salts without to 18 months of storage at 4°C (Towill 1981). And phytohormones at 4°C, illumination 500 lux and a Japanese pears, P. pyrifolia, survive best when stored photoperiod of 8 h [Dunaeva et al. 2018). at 1°C in the dark for 12 months (Moriguchi 1995). Pyrus The results of our experiments and literature data samples (n = 169) were stored in tissue culture bags in show that the duration of medium-term in vitro the dark at 4°C and had an average shelf life of 2.7 years preservation of germplasm depends on the genotype of (ranging from 8 months to 4.6 years) (Reed and Chang the plant, temperature and light conditions, as well as 1997). According to literature data, the growth of pear laboratory conditions for the maintenance of objects. rootstocks slowed down when mannitol was added to the culture medium (Lambardi et al. 2006). CONCLUSION There is evidence of storing cherry shoots for several Many genotypes of fruit and berry crops were well months in a liquid culture medium at normal temperature preserved at 4°C in bags for cultivation in MS medium (Wanas et al. 1986). Positive effect on the viability and with 3% sucrose or 2% sucrose + 2% mannitol with or proliferation of wild cherry Prunus avium L in vitro without PGRs. Reducing the nitrogen concentration storage at 2°C on MS medium with the addition of 4.44 increased the storage time of some genotypes, but mm BAP and 0.49 mm IBA (Murashige and Skoog abscisic acid did not improve the storage time. The in 1962). Only the standard 3% sucrose content was vitro collection is a reserve field collection for reliable optimal for cherry rootstock (Ozudogru et al. 2017). conservation of genetic resources and now has 196 Medium-term in vitro cold storage of raspberry samples of fruit and berry crops stored in packages with germplasm was studied using different temperatures, 50% nitrogen, 0.5 mg/l BAP, 0.1 mg/l IBA, and 3% photoperiods and storage containers. Research data sucrose. showed that most Rubus germplasm can be preserved In the future, the conditions of medium-term in vitro at 4°C and 12 h light day. Plastic bags are preferable to germplasm conservation of other fruit and berry plants glass jars. For cold-sensitive genotypes, an alternative growing in the country will be studied, the cold collection storage method is proposed at 25°C in a medium with a will be replenished with other germplasm samples. reduced nitrogen content (Reed 1993).
