Biotechnological methods of preservation of the grape gene pool in the in vitro collection

The article shows the results of the improvement of meristem survival, its growth characteristics, shoot formation with the combined usage of apical meristems and the preparations such as Ribavirin, salicylic acid, Melafen, the antibiotic Cefotaxime. The research results demonstrate a decrease in the intensity of growth with the presence of sucrose, fructose, and sorbitol in the culture medium. The clarification of the parameters of the preparations application made it possible to increase the duration of nonstop storage of plants up to 8–10 months.
