“In Vitro” Micropropagation and Acclimation of “Gypsophila Paniculata” L.

Abstract

Economically important cut flower plant, Gypsophila paniculata, from Caryophyllaceae family, was regenerated from shoot tips explants. Murashige and Skoog medium with different concentrations of α-naphthaleneacetic acid and thidiazuron were used for shoot proliferation. The degree of vitrification was reduced by addition of 10 g dm⁻³ agar. An optimum root initiation and development of plants was obtained by using 3 mg dm⁻³ indole-butyric acid. For plants acclimation different periods of time were used. From 4 batches of plants prepared for acclimation in 4 different periods of time those from the and of February have the highest percent of rooting.
