Abstract

SummaryAllocasuarina verticillata, a N2-fixing tree (actinorhizal plant) reknowned for its tolerance to fire and salinity, is used for fuel wood production, land reclamation, shelter belts and for ornamental purposes. Root explants from seedlings were used for micropropagation. Biomass of regenerated shoots was increased by adding maltose (3 to 6%) instead of sucrose to Murashige and Skoog (1962) basal medium. This treatment reduced callogenesis and increased shoot number and chlorophyll content. The very high rate of shoot multiplication makes this species of Casuarinaceae a promising candidate for reforestation of arid soils in subtropical and mediterranean countries.
