Anthurium andraeanum Plantlets Produced from Callus Tissues Cultivated in vitro.

During the last 3 years a method has been developed to reproduce Anthurium andraeanum Lind, through callus cultures. The procedural sequence is as follows: callus induction on excised leaf fragments, callus subculture on solid and in liquid media, adventitious sprout formation in callus on solid media, and rooting of excised sprouts. Recently 20 adult genotypes were propagated by this method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
