| Popis: | SummaryThe influence of several factors on in vitro shoot organogenesis of two evergreen azalea genotypes was investigated. A 5 × 5 factorial experiment was conducted with varying TDZ and IAA levels to determine optimum shoot organogenesis from leaf tissues of ‘Fuchsia’ and ‘Hino Crimson’. Leaf explants grown on a medium containing 22.7 µM TDZ and 22.8 µM IAA produced the highest shoot regeneration frequency for both ‘Fuchsia’ (64%) and ‘Hino Crimson’ (82%), and developed the highest mean number of shoots per explant, 5.9 and 4.9, respectively. Incubation of leaf explants in the dark for one week followed by culture under low-light intensity (30 u.mol m-2 s ) for five weeks, or incubation in the dark for two weeks followed by culture under either low-light or high-light intensities (90 µmol m–2 s–1) for four weeks resulted in the highest shoot regeneration frequencies and mean number of shoots per explant. Shoot regenerants were subcultured onto Anderson’s medium with 0,1.2 and 2.3 µM TDZ, or 2.3 µM zeati... |
