Micropropagation of Acacia seyal Del. in vitro     

Abdelrahman S. Al-Wasel 《Journal of Arid Environments》2000,46(4):425

In vitro mass propagation of Acacia seyal Del. was achieved using seedling shoot tip explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6-benzyladenine (BA) or Thidiazuron (TDZ) with ∝-Naphtalene acetic acid (NAA). The best result was obtained with BA in the presence of NAA. The greatest shoot multiplication with long shoots was observed on media containing (mg l^-1) 2·0 BA with 0·1 or 0·5 NAA and 4·0 BA with 0·1 NAA; with 6·4 and 6·7 mean number of shoots, respectively. TDZ also induced multiple shoots but most of the shoots were stunted. Microshoots were rooted better on half-MS salts supplemented with Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The highest rooting percentage (80%) and root number (4·9 roots/microshoot) were promoted by 4·0 mg IBA. The plantlets (90%) successfully survived acclimatization ex vitro.  相似文献
