Ficin is w idely used in food industry. The natural producer o f ficin-
generation Ficus - is represented by hundreds species with high proteolytic
activity o f their latex. The protease has the same classification as the papain,
The bromellidine, the actinasine. The
Ficus carica L
is widely spread at the
Black Sea Coast o f Caucasus we have selected terms of tissue of this
species different cultivare introduction as well as fo r plants regeneration
from stem tips. The material was selected at Adler subtropical species
research farm, where a number of prospective cultivars o f this kind are grown.
Fig parts were used as explants. Sterile cultures were received. They
regenerate flowers structures and callus. D ifferent combination o f growth-
regulators were tested in this work. The combination Indole acetic acid (IAA)
and indole pyruvic acid (IPA) shows the best surviving. Usage o f activated
carbon resulted in callus growth in weight during 28 days.
Along with this terms research o f
Ficus carica L.
plants regeneration
from stem tips was done. Stem tips o f 0,4-0,6 mm long were planted and
two months later morfogenic cultures of different dimension including 1-3
mm long were grown. These plantlets moved to a new nutrient media grew
into plants 3-5 sm long with 3-5 internodes and well developed root system.
These sterile plant were free of virus symptoms, and were used fo r mass
propagation o f this valuable fruit culture and callus production. O f IAA and
IPA combination by 0.3 mg/l each introduction into nutrient media gave good
results.
