Dept. of Field Crops AbstractApical meristems, first, second and third-fourth axillary buds of Ludwigia repens were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing various concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), thidiazuron (TDZ) and α-
naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for micropropagation. Micropropagation was best achieved from apical meristem on MS medium containing 0.05 mg dm-3 TDZ and 0.1 mg dm-3 NAA. It was noted that TDZ or BAP had inhibitory effect on shoot
elongation, which was overcome by subculturing shoots on half-strength MS media without growth regulators after 4 weeks of culture. This also served as rooting media. Rooted plantlets were finally transferred to aquariums containing fresh water with 100% adaptation. | Item Type: | Journal |
