Cover Story: Olive micropropagation, which is crucial for rapid plantlet production, often faces challenges like apical dominance. This paper sheds light on the interplay between topophysis (the effect of a parent plant’s cutting position on the growth habits of the new plant) and explant density (18, 24, and 30 explants per vessel) and its effects on olive micropropagation efficiency. The results showed that explants from the middle section (orange), when grown at higher densities, exhibited better shoot growth, node production, and an absence of apical dominance (a common challenge in olive micropropagation). The hormonal changes associated with topophysis and density were observed to have a more balanced distribution of hormone conjugates with higher densities. These findings suggest that optimizing these factors can improve the success and consistency of olive micropropagation. View this paper
