EFFECTS OF PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS ON THE SHOOT MULTIPLICATION AND ROOT FORMATION OF Violar tricolor L.

Tóm tắt

Violar tricolor belongs to Viola genus, Violaceae family, Violar tricolor plant is not only grown as an ornamental plant, but also a medicinal herb. In this study, some of factors affect on the process of micropropagation were investigated. In the experiment of sterilization explants, seed germination and shoot formation ability of the Violar tricolor L. reached the best result when they were sterilized by 0.1% HgCl₂ for 1 minute. In the experiment studying effects of individual BA or BA in combination with NAA on the induction of formation and multiplication shoot, the results showed that shoot cultured in the MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA get the highest number of shoots (4.83 shoots), shoots were vigorous without mutation and hyperhydricity. The MS medium containing 0.1 mg/L NAA induced the root formation with numerous long roots and vitality shoots.
