Micropropagation of Urginea maritima (L.) Baker s. str.

Anna Stojakowska

Abstract


A method of micropropagation of Urginea maritima (L.) Baker s.str. (Liliaceae) by adventitious shoot formation was developed. Bulb scales and leaf fragments were used as primary and secondary explants, respectively. The most favourable for shoot regeneration were media: MS supplemented with BAP or kinetin (bulb scales) and medium C containing NAA along with BAP (leaf explants). No difficulties in rooting and adapting of plants to greenhouse conditions were observed.
