Tissue culture enhances the propagation potential of some Tillandsioideae
JC Chukwujekwu, J van Staden
Abstract
Seeds of three Tillandsia species
were germinated in vitro and multiple shoots produced within 13 months
in culture. Different Murashige and Skoog media; fullstrength, half-strength,
and half-strength macro/full micro salts plus 25mg l-1 NaFeEDTA, were used
for germination. For multiple shoots the best germination medium was used
with different plant growth regulators added (0.5/0.5mg l-1 or 1.0/0.5mg
l-1 BA/NAA).
