Abstract:Operculina macrocarpa L. Urb is a species popularly known as purge potato, a climbing plant from the Convolvulaceae family that has medicinal properties. In vitro cultivation could contribute to the production of seedlings on a large scale, favoring its commercialization process. This this study adjusted existing protocols for in vitro establishment and evaluated the effect of the interaction of growth regulators on the in vitro morphogenesis of O. macrocarpa. In the in vitro establishment process, the followi… Show more
