Effect of different vitamin formulations on multiplication in vitro of yam clone from Caracas
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2007, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Multiplication of yam is very important from the economical point of view but studies comparing the effect of different vitamins formulation in the in vitro multiplication of this species have not been carried out. Influence of adding different vitamin formulations, in the culture medium D-571 on in vitro multiplication of yam uninodal segments (Dioscorea alata L) was evaluated in the present research. Buds number, shoot length and leaves number by explants were determined after 4, 5 and 6 weeks of culture. Results demonstrated that the most appropriate vitamin formulations in the in vitro multiplication medium to facilitate growth and development of yam uninodal segments was the one proposed by Murashige and Skoog, Gamborg et al. and Morel and Wetmore modified.
