Title

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Flowering shoot explants invariably formed flower buds in vitro and were unsuitable for micropropagation.
- Observation Vegetative explants formed microshoots after about 15 days.
- Observation TDZ was the most effective cytokinin for shoot formation.
- Observation Kinetin was the least effective cytokinin for shoot formation.
- Observation In vitro shoots rooted with 100% success in vitro or ex vitro.
- Observation About 98% of plants rooted in vitro or ex vitro survived greenhouse transfer and outdoor transplantation.
- Observation Well-branched flowering plants could be obtained from explants in as little as 5-6 months.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that mass propagation of German Red carnation in vitro is feasible.
