In vitro micropropagation of yucca elephantipes : regel plant

الملخص EN

An in vitro micropropagation method for propagating Yucca elephantipes.

Regel plant, was described.

Axillary buds from Yucca plants were used as an explant.

Murashige and Skoog (MS) salt was used in the basal medium.

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) at 500 mg/L was added to the basal medium.

Different levels of benzyladenine (BA) was added to the medium in the proliferation experiment.

It was found that the addition of PVP to the medium reduced the accumulation of phenolic compounds and therefore, enhance bud growth.

Shoot regeneration was strongly promoted when BA at 8.8 and 17.6 *M was used in the medium.

However, root number and length were strongly reduced when BA was added to the medium.
