Abstract EN

This study was undertaken to identify methods of mass multiplication for five ornamental, economically important ferns (Nephrolepis biserrata (Sw.) Schott., N.

cordifolia cv.

‘‘duffii’’ (L.) Presl., N.

exaltata cv.

bostoniensis (L.) Schott., Pteris vittata L., and Cyclosorus dentatus Link.,) and three threatened ferns, namely, Cyathea spinulosa Wall.

ex.

Hook, Pityrogramma calomelanos (L.) Link., and Microsorum punctatum (L.) Schott., through in vitro techniques.

Collections were made from different biodiversity zones of India including Northeast Himalayas, Kumaon Himalayas, and Western Ghat and successfully introduced and grown in a fern-house.

Aseptic cultures were raised at the morphogenic level of callus, axillary shoot, multiple shoot, and rooted plants.

An optimized medium is described for each fern species.

Plantlets were also produced from spore culture of Cyathea spinulosa and successfully hardened under fern house conditions.
