Micropropagation of selected oenothera species and preliminary studies on their secondary metabolites

摘要

A method was devised for the micropropagation of eight species of the genus Oenothera L. from shoot tips and shoot segments with nodes. Microshoot cultures were obtained from explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium enriched with IAA and BA. Numerous shoots developed properly after they had been transferred onto MS medium without BA. When they had rooted under the influence of auxins (IAA or IBA), shoots were transferred to pots and then to the soil, where they matured.
