The apices or scales from the bulbils of Furcraea foetida cv. Striata were used as the explants for in vitro culture. Results indicated that the efficiency of shoot formation from bulbil-apex explants was higher than that from scale explants. An average of 3.8 shoots was formed from each bulbil-apex explant cultured in the MS medium supplemented with NAA 1 mg/l and BA 4 mg/l. In comparision, an average of 3.0 shoots was formed in the MS medium supplemented with BA 2 mg/l, after twelve weeks inoculation. The homogeneous green plantlets frequently regenerated from striated-scale explants. The optimum timing for subculture was 5-6 weeks after inoculation and shoots proliferation was significantly enhanced in the MS medium supplemented with NAA 1 mg/l and thidiazuron (TDZ) 2 mg/l. The optimum height for plantlets transferred from the test tube to soilless mixes was 4-8 em, which resulted in high survival rate and high relative growth rate. For root formation in vivo, plantlets treated with NAA 1000 mg/l was found to have the best result. |
