Effects of cytokinins on the leaf anatomy and growth of Annona glabra L. during in vitro and ex vitro culture

摘要

The effect of different sources of cytokinins during the in vitro cultivation of A. glabra on anatomical characteristics of leaves and plant growth was evaluated in this work. BAP (6-benzilaminopurine) and KIN (kinetin) induced an increase in leaf mesophyll thickness, while the ZEA (zeatin) promoted an increase in density and stomatic index and development of leaves vascular system. The utilization of KIN and BAP improved higher plant development and survival rate during the acclimatization and rooting phases.
