In vitro organogenetic potential of cotyledon and leaf explants of Capsicum annuum L., cv. Bryza

Andrzej Gatz, Janina Rogozińska

Abstract


Regeneration capabilities of Capsicum annuum cotyledons and leaves were compared. Adventitious buds, leaf like structures and callus formation occurred on both types of explants, roots on cotyledons only. Murashige and Skoog basal medium containing 1.0 mg dm-3 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 1.0; 5.0; 10.0; 15.0 mg dm-3 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) were used. Adventitious buds were induced more frequently on cotyledons than on leaves. The middle part of cotyledon explants and the distal part of the leaf explants seem to be the best.

Keywords
