Effect of different sources and concentrations of carbohydrates on the morphological and physiological characteristics of Vanilla planifolia Jacks. RH350
Resumo
Veracruz is the leading vanilla-producing state in Mexico; however, its plantations face significant challenges from pathogens like Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae (Fov). Therefore, it is crucial to develop an effective protocol to ensure the availability of in vitro plants of the RH350 genotype, which exhibits 50% resistance to Fov. This genotype was developed through in vitro selection against Fov filtrates using the pathogenic strain Fov H₃. This study evaluated the effects of two concentrations (15 and 30 g L⁻¹) and five different carbon sources (maltose, fructose, sucrose, galactose, and glucose) on the morphological (number of shoots, leaves, and roots, shoot, leaf, and root length) and physiological (photosynthetic pigment content) characteristics of in vitro plants. This study was conducted to meet the growing demand for high-quality RH350 plants. The results revealed significant differences among the carbohydrates and their respective concentrations; however, the 30 g L⁻¹ concentration of fructose yielded the greatest number of shoots and leaves. A similar concentration of maltose positively impacted shoot length, while 15 g L⁻¹ of this carbohydrate yielded the best results in terms of chlorophyll content. These findings emphasize the importance of both the concentration and the type of carbon source in micropropagating plants such as V. planifolia, RH350.
