METHODS AND PROBLEMS OF CLONAL PROPAGATION OF BROMELIADS IN VITRO |
| Authors: | K. Zimmer, W. Pieper |
| Abstract:
Propagation of Aechmeas in vitro is possible with following method: After starting with axillary buds of lateral shoots in liquid medium we defoliate the plantlets and use plantlets and leaves. In both cases, calluslike bodies and a lot of new shoots were formed. Rate of propagation will be about 1:10 per month in a liquid Knudson-C-medium with 10% bleeding sap of birch tree and 1 ppm benzylaminopurine. Unfortunately, uniformity of offsprings will decrease with age of subculture: a lot of different chimerical types of plants may occur. | |
