Abstract

Galbanum(Ferula gummosa) is one of the native valuable pasturage-medicinal plants of Iran that is extincting because of irregular and unsuitable harvesting from natural habitats and its propagation problems. Results showed possible conservation of galbanum germplasm under in vitro culture conditions on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg l-1 BA at 25 ± 2 0C under a 16-h photoperiod for about 5 months. Petiols obtained of cultured in vivo plants under in vitro conditions, are capable explants for callus production and they produced callus with high quality and quantity on B5 medium supplemented with 2 mg l-1 BA and 10 mg l-1 NAA.
