Abstract:

 


Einkorn
is one of the oldest and important wheat species because of its increasing
economic value, agronomical technical properties, and health and sanitary
effects. Therefore, a faster tissue culture production protocol which may
ensure a fast einkorn production is desired. 
The tissue culture process first requires an efficient sterilization
technique of the explant to eliminate contamination factors in this hulled
species. In this study, we, thus, aimed to determine the effective einkorn
sterilization process for the removal of contaminating microorganisms without
the loss of germination capacity and viability. We tested 22 following
sterilant combinations with different concentration and exposure time: Ethanol,
Commercial Bleach, Tween 20, Mercury (II) Chloride, and Sterile Distilled
Water. On the other hand, obtained the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and
Duncan test, where p≤0.05 was accepted significant. Forty percent commercial
bleach which were applied fifteen minutes eliminated all microorganisms with a
92.6% seed germination. The second-best technique was one minute exposure of
70% ethanol which were followed by 10 minutes exposure of 20% commercial
bleach. This assured up to 89% germination and no contamination. The worst
results came from the mercury (II) chloride with 0% contamination and ≤ 25%
germination rate. Mercury (II) Chloride was both highly toxic on the seeds and
reduced the contamination. Commercial Bleach and Ethanol Chemicals were less
toxic while providing an acceptable sterilization.
