Yucca macrocarpa Engelm. and Yucca treculeana - perspective exotic

plants fo r introduction in green construction o f Black Sea coast of a UIS. As

well as other kinds of Yucca (Kintia, etc., 1987; Hostettman, Marston, 1995)

these species and their hybrid (Y. Macrocarpa x Y. Treculeana) have appeared

the capable to biosynthesis o f steroid saponins.

In culture

in vitro

the plants from seeds and embryos were grown up.

Nutrient mediums fo r generate and development o f adventitious buds and

shoots - up to 6-8 shoots in one cycle of cultivation was determined. Suriving

o f rootaged

in vitro

plants in the soil m ix achieves 70-75%. Callus was

received from ovule, ovary wall, strings o f stamens, germs, leafs and roots.

In the callus inducted from leaf and root explants the development of

morphogeny structures was observed. Was received callus with actively

differentiated on its surface rootlike structures with the well advanced zone

o f root hairs.

Studying an opportunity of reception steroid saponins by a method of

tissue culture, were analysed callus tissues of Y. macrocarpa leaf, root and

embryo o f an origin, and also callus tissue was induced from strings o f

stamens o f hybrid Y. macrocarpa x Y. treculeana. W ith the analysis were

found out only trace amount o f various steroid saponins, distinguished as is

qualitative, and quantitatively depending on primary explant and environment

of cultivation. Also trace amount of steroid saponins were founded in culture

medium. There is remarkable that saccharose, used with preparation o f

nutritious medium after some months o f cultivation was transformed

completely in fructose and was not presented even in trace amounts.
