Rapid In Vitro Micro Propagation Of Chick Pea (Cicer Arietinum L.) From Shoot Tip And Cotyledonary Node Explants

In Vitro Culture for Ex Situ Conservation of “Roveja” and Nutritional Considerations on this Italian Rare Legume

“…Employed separately at a concentration of 0.1 mg/L, IBA, IAA and NAA successfully induced rooting in regenerated shoots from embryonic axes of P. sativum yielding similar results [7]. IBA, 1.0 mg / L has also been successfully used to induce rooting in micropropagated shoots of Cicer arietinum [12,13]. IBA was also found to be the best for in vitro production of root cultures from Cicer arietinum root explants compared to NAA and 2,4-D (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), even if, in this experiment, the authors obtained the best roots production in MS half strength medium without growth regulators [14].…”
