Abstract
In vitro growth of birch (Betula pendula Roth) buds taken from 10-month-old seedlings or adult material was studied. The seedlings were exposed to either 24 hr of an irradiance of 40 W/m2 at 18°C, or 8 hr of an irradiance of 9 W/m2 at 15°C. Buds from these plants were taken from upper branches and from the upper and lower parts of the stem. Buds from adult material were taken from dormant twigs and at two occasions after flushing. Considerable differences in in vitro growth were obtained due to bud position, stock plant treatment, and growth phase. Correlation between differences in in vitro growth and anatomical/biochemical changes will be discussed.
