Abstract:
Using
Gerbera delavayi leaves as explants, the methods of callus induction and differentiation were studied. The results showed that the green callus with a diameter 0.5 cm, compact structure and hard texture could be induced from the sterile leaves of
Gerbera delavayi in the medium of WPM+ 0.6 mg·L
−16-BA + 0.45 mg·L
−1 NAA + 30 g·L
−1 sucrose. The calli differentiated into adventitious buds after 30 days in the medium of WPM+ 0.75 mg·L
−16-BA+ 0.15 mg·L
−1 NAA+30 g·L
−1 sucrose. After the shoots were transferred to 1/2DKW+1.0 mg·L
−1IBA+0.1 mg·L
−1 NAA+30 g·L
−1 sucrose for 30 days, 5-13 adventitious roots with root hairs were developed.
