Tissue culture enhances the propagation potential of some Tillandsioideae

摘要

Seeds of three Tillandsia species were germinated in vitro and multiple shoots produced within 13 months in culture. Different Murashige and Skoog media; full-strength, 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).
