Abstract
Aim. To establish the dependence of free proline concentration in plant tissues of in vitro and ex vitro alpine species of Gentiana lutea L., Gentiana punctata L., Gentiana acaulis L. on light conditions of their cultivation and the source of carbon in the nutrient medium; to analyze expediency of free proline amino acid use as a biological marker of physiological adaptation of biotechnological plants of these species to water deficit of in vitro and ex vitro conditions. Methods. Methods of in vitro and ex vitro cultivation of plants, the method of free proline detection with the use of ninhydrin. Results. It is shown that under in vitro conditions of free proline content in plants is dependent on light regime of their cultivation and the source of carbon in the composition of nutrient medium. The increased intensity of luminous flux within the range of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from 85 W/m2 to 100 W/m2 and 1.92 times raised share of red range waves in the light spectral composition in variant 2.1 (intensity of the luminous flux in the PAR range is 100 W/m2, the waves correlation of blue (Eb): green (Eg): red (Er) ranges = 25 % : 27 % : 48 %) causes 11.5–37.1 % increased amount of free proline in plants in vitro cultivated on nutrient media supplemented with sucrose. Substitution of sucrose in the medium for mannitol is accompanied by 1.64–1.84 times increased concentration of free proline in plants of the investigated species under the light conditions of 1.1 variant (85 W/m2, spectral composition Eb : Eg : Er = 25 % : 27 % : 48 %= 33 % : 42 % : 25 %) and 1.3–2.57 times increased under light cultivation regime of 2.1 variant. The analysis of water balance of plants in vitro cultivated on mannitol under light conditions of 2.1 variant and the plants in conditions of natural growth doesn’t show any considerable distinctions in values of transpiration intensity, water deficit, general water content. The process of adaptation of plants in vitro to conditions ex vitro is accompanied by a change of proline content in leaves with dependence on water deficit in the substrate and light conditions of growing. Conclusions. The obtained results point to the expediency of using free proline content as a biochemical marker for assessing adaptive potential of plants in conditions in vitro and ex vitro.
