Abstract
This study presents the results of research on the acclimatization of Populus diverisifolia Schrenk seedlings obtained through in vitro microclonal propagation. After transferring the plants from sterile culture to greenhouse conditions, the effects of various substrates on growth parameters, survival rate, and root system development were examined. Substrates included mixtures of peat with sand, vermiculite, perlite, and forest soil. The best results were observed with a 1:1 mixture of forest soil and sand, which provided a growth increase of up to 4.5 ± 0.3 cm over 8 weeks and a survival rate of up to 92%. This effectiveness is attributed to the high biological activity and balanced mineral composition of forest soil. Root system development showed a steady progression over the 8-week acclimatization period, with root length reaching 5.8 ± 0.5 cm and the number of lateral roots increasing to 8–12. The obtained data confirm the effectiveness of the selected conditions for microclonal propagation and acclimatization of Populus diverisifolia Schrenk, which holds practical significance for the restoration of tugai forests and the conservation of biodiversity. The study also demonstrates the promising potential of applying biotechnological methods in forest management in Kazakhstan.
