Abstract:Rhododendron decorum is a woody species with high ornamental and medical value. Herein, we introduce a novel in vitro regeneration method for R. decorum. We used flower buds to develop an efficient and rapid plant regeneration protocol. Sterile flower buds of R. decorum of a 2 cm size were used as explants to study the effects of the culture medium and plant growth regulators on the callus induction and adventitious shoot differentiation, proliferation, and rooting. According to the results, the optimal medium… Show more
“…Using flower buds as explants for micropropagation of Rhododendron decorum, Wu et al [13] described a simple and efficient protocol for in vitro regeneration via indirect organogenesis. Effects of basal medium and plant growth regulators on the formation and proliferation of adventitious shoots and rooting were studied.…”
