REGENERACIÓN IN VITRO DE ONCE CULTIVARES DE CRISANTEMO (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev) A PARTIR DE MERISTEMOS APICALES.

With the objective to induce the regeneration of plantlets in vitro of 11 cultivars of chrysanthemum, an experiment was carried out at Laboratorio de Cultivo de Tejidos Vegetales of the Facultad de Ciencias Agrícolas of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, in the 2005-2006 period. Apical meristem of each variety were sown in the medium of culture Murashige and Skoog (1962), plus 3 % of sucrose, 6.5 g/l of agar and a pH of 5.7-5.8. Twelve combinations were evaluated result of four doses of ANA (0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 mg/l) and three doses of K (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/l). The rate of multiplication varied of 1:8 to 1:29 depending on the to cultivar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
