STUDIES ON TISSUE CULTURE IN GERBERA (Gerbera jamesonii L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 17
Abstract
An attempt has been made to determine the response of capitulum explants of gerbera for micropropagation with 3 mg/L BAP + 0.1 mg/L of IAA was found to be the best medium for culture establishment and primordial emergence (14.66 days). Early shoot initiation was observed on MS medium supplemented with 3mg/L BAP + 0.5mg/L NAA (10.66 days), MS medium supplemented 2 mg/L BAP + 0.5 mg/L NAA was found to produce maximum number of shoots in shortest time (26.00) and 1mg/L BAP + 0.5 mg/L NAA has recorded significantly maximum shoot length (33.00 mm). MS medium supplemented with 2mg/L IBA was best medium for in vitro rooting because it showed highest per cent rooting (83.33%), earlier rooting (19.00 days) with maximum root length (54.66 mm). In vermiculite + vermicompost (1:1, v/v) medium, survival percentage was maximum (80.00%) with maximum plant height (47.00 mm).
