In vitro rhizogenesis of blueberry microcuttings under different LED light spectra

Abstract

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different LED light spectra on the in vitro rhizogenesis of microcuttings of blueberry 'Jewel', without the use of growth regulators. The plantlets were subjected to four LED light treatments, as follows: R, 100% red; R2B, 70% red and 30% blue; B, 100% blue; and CW, control white. After six weeks incubated in a culture room, R and R2B treatments show statistically significant effects on the in vitro rooting of blueberry.
