Abstract:In vitro hardening materials like Agar and Phytagel are increasing in price, therefore cheaper gelling agents were needed. In this study, potato starch (Solanum tuberosum) and corn starch (Zea mays L.) at different rates (40, 50, 60, and 70 g/l) each alone or combined with agar at 2 or 4 g/l as well as 8 g agar/l as control were tested during in vitro multiplication of yucca (Yucca elephantipes L.). However, the first experiment, shoot proliferation percentage was 100% with all treatments (potato starch + agar… Show more
