| ABSTRACT: The objective of the present research was to develop a protocol for micropropagation of Anthurium bonplandii and Anthurium maricense by direct organogenesis. Nodal segments, with two or three nodes, were used as explants. The cultures were kept in a growth chamber at a temperature of 25±2ºC, under a photoperiod of 16 hours and a luminosity of 30μmol m-2 s-1. At 60 days, the number of regenerated buds per explant (NBE) was counted. The experiment was carried out in an entirely randomised design consisting of six treatments for six different concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) added to the P2 (Pierik) medium (0.0, 1.11, 2.22, 3.33, 4.44, and 5.55µM). All the treatments were performed in four repetitions with 10 culture tubes containing one... |
