Abstract

Myrtus communis L. is a valuable medicinal, economic and ornamental. In recent years, unfortunately, improper use of this plant by profiteers due to obtain pure extracts and active essential oil, was extincted of natural locality of this plant. For this reason, its reproduction, especially through micropropagation, is an important step in conservation of its locality. The aim of this research is the study of medium and regulators influence on Myrtle micro propagation. Plant seeds were collected from Hajiabad region of Hormozgan province. The best medium for shoot regeneration was obtained DKW medium with BA, TDZ and Kinitin in 1, 1 and 0.1 mgl-1, respectively. The best medium for root regeneration was determined MS medium with 1 mgl-1IBA and 0.1 mgl-1NAA. It had the highest number of primary and secondary roots. Finally in this research the best micropropagation protocole of Myrtle was obtained.
