In vitro propagation of pandoreas
2001
Kancherla, S.L. | Bhalla, P.L.
Pandoreas, Australian natives of horticultural significance, were successfully propagated using tissue culture. A protocol for rapid in vitro multiplication of commercial cultivars was developed using nodal segments cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium containing either BA or kinetin. Maximum shoot induction and number of shoots per explant for P. pandorana (Andrews) Steenis and P. jasminoides (Lindley) Schumann were on 8.8 micromolar BA and 4.6 micromolar kinetin. Higher levels of cytokinin in the medium inhibited shoot formation. Tissue-cultured shoots were rooted with IBA. This study demonstrates that Pandoreas can be successfully micropropagated.
