Özet

This study aimed to determine the most suitable support medium for rooting the 'Marsol' chestnut (Castanea sativa x C. crenata) cultivar using the Plantform™ bioreactor system. Rock wool, perlite, peat, and vermiculite were used as supporting medium glass beads. The explants were placed in

the Plantform™ bioreactor for six weeks. At the end of this period, rooting rate, root number, total root length, plant height, leaf number, and chlorophyll content (SPAD value) were investigated. According to the results, the highest success was achieved with a 100% rooting rate in the glass bead medium, and it was statistically superior to the other media in terms of root number and length. However, no rooting was observed in the rock wool medium. These findings suggest that glass bead medium can be used to support rooting with the Plantform™ bioreactor system.
