Lisianthus´ characteristics make it a cut flower of great interest, so the use of micropropagation techniques favors a rapid and massive multiplication, with plants free of pathogens. The organogenesis, resulted of use regulators of growth of different action mode (auxin, cytokinin and gibberellin), included the formation of shoots and roots that it was generated in some cases directly and in other from callus, employing the foliar segments as explant. The addition of low concentrations of cytokinin and gibberellin (1.0 mg/L benzyladenine (BA) + 0.5 mg/L gibberellic acid (GA3)) to the culture medium were necessary to generate the highest number of shoots (14.16 shoots per explant).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
