Abstract

Micropropagation of E. gongylocarpa Blakely through bud culture was investigated. Different treatments of sterilization, establishment, shooting and rooting were studied. The best sterilization treatment for seeds was 0.5% Benomyl solution for 15 min, washing with detergent and then under running water for two hours, 70% ethanol for 20 seconds and 2% NaOCl for 20 min. MS medium containing half strength of nitrate, 0.1 mgl-1 BAP, 0.2 mgl-1 Kin, 0.01 mgl-1 IBA and 0.25 mgl-1 GA3 with 100 mgl-1 PVP were selected for shoot establishment and multiplication. The best rooting, observed in MS medium including 1 mgl-1 IBA with 2.5 gl-1 activated charcoal. The micropropagated plantlets established in the greenhouse successfully.
