Popis: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of soil types and environmental factors for optimum conditions of seedlings growth of the Platycodon grandiflorum for establishing the in vivo acclimatization system of regenerated plants derived from the in vitro culture. P. grandflorum seedlings were transferred to the in vivo condition and acclimatized under different soil types, light intensities, and various temperatures. Changes caused by environmental factors and soil types in plant growth viz. plant height, leaf width, leaf length, stem diameter, number of leaves, branches and nodes were recorded in this study. Among the nine types of soil, the best growth performances were obtained from the soil type SVP (Soil mixed with horticultural bed soil, vermiculite, and perlite @ 2:1:1). Seedlings of P. grandiflorum showed the best growth at higher levels of light intensity (60 μmol·m-2·s-1). In contrast, P. grandiflorum seedlings showed the best growth response at a moderate level of temperature (25°C). Collectively, the present study provides a better understanding of the responses of growth characteristics in P. grandiflorum seedlings exposed to various soil types, light intensities, and temperatures.
