TI  - Effect of Medium Composition on in vitro Seed Germination and Plant Development in Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis L. cv. Evora)
AB  - In the current study, the effects of De Greef & Jacobs (DG), Linsmaier & Skoog (LS), Murashige & Skoog (MS), andSchenk & Hildebrandt (SH) media were tested on seed germination and plant development in Poa pratensis cv. Evora. Thehighest germination rate (83±2.74%) was found on SH medium, whereas LS medium gave the lowest (46±4.18%) germinationrate. The statistically same leaf numbers were recorded from SH (2.10±0.27) and DG (2.12±0.18) media. SH and DG media gave4.28±0.28 cm and 4.16±0.31 cm mean leaf lengths, respectively. SH medium gave the maximum mean root number (3.09±0.26).However, the LS medium gave the lowest mean root number (1.84±0.10). The longest roots (1.43±0.19 cm) were observed inthe plants grown in SH medium. However, DG medium had the minimum mean root length (0.81±0.08 cm). In conclusion, SHmedium should be preferred over the other medium tested in in vitro tissue culture studies on the species to increase thebiomass production yield. The efficacy of SH medium in the in vitro propagation of P. pratensis could be increased using growthpromoters.
