    A protocol for the in vitro establishment of two Sicilian genotypes of mulberry has been set up. Multiple shoots were initiated and plantlets were produced from buds collected from mature trees of Morus alba L. and Morus nigra L., grown in the field. The influence of two explanting times (September and December) of buds on the in vitro response has been observed. The percentage of sprouting after four weeks of culture was greatly higher with material explanted from the field in September compared with the one collected in December. Morus nigra L. produced more vigorous shoots than Morus alba L.. After the second subculture the number of shoots produced decreased, in both genotypes. No differences were observed for both genotypes regarding the multiplication rat

    In vitro establishment and culture of two Sicilian cultivars of Olea europaea L

    Sicily is among the Italian regions with the largest cultivation area of olive (Olea europaea L.). The applications of in vitro tissue culture, as practical tool of propagation and germplasm storage, were not sufficiently exploited in this species, because of the lack of efficient in vitro establishment protocols and culture for the majority of the cultivars. In fact, it is well known that the success of in vitro culture is strongly dependent on the species and, within the species, on the cultivars. This study reports the in vitro establishment of two Sicilian olive cultivars, grown in greenhouse. Both genotypes showed a percentage of in vitro sprouting higher than that one previously obtained with explants collected from mature plants grown in open field. The collection time was not determinant on in vitro response
