Tissue culture of Raphidophora glauca and R. peepla

Abstract

This research studied the propagation of Raphidophora glauca and R. peepla by tissue culture.Standard media (MS) and BAP at five concentrations of 0, 2, 4, 8, 10 mg/l and NAA at two concentrations of 0,2 mg/l were used. Apical shoot meristem and internodes sections were used as explants. The result showed that bothRaphidophora glauca and R. peepla in MS + 8 mg/l BAP or MS + 10 mg/l BAP had higher plant height, leaf number,root number and root length than those in other medium. However, the plants in every media had survival rate over80 percent after eight weeks of transplanting.
