EMPLOYMENT OF IN VITRO TECHNOLOGY FOR LARGE SCALE MULTIPLICATION OF PINEAPPLES (ANANAS COMOSOS) SAIFULLAH KHAN, ASMA NASIB AND BUSHRA AHMAD SAEED
Abstract: Experiments were carried out for the micropropagation
of pineapples. It is thus possible to produce disease free, uniform propagules
at needed quantity and at appropriate time of the year. BAP @ 0.5 mg/L showed
better results for the number and length of shoots per explant. IBA and NAA were
employed for appropriate root initiation and development and the best media observed
containing IBA @ 1.5 mg/L alone. This was followed by field experiments to determine
an appropriate media for in situ plant growth in green houses, for acclimatizing
the plants. Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology Lab., International Centre for Chemical Sciences, H.E.J. Research Institute of Chemistry University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan. |
