IN- VITRO PROPAGATION OF (BOUGAINVIUEA SPECTABILIS) THROUGH SHOOT APEX CULTURE
Abstract
Shoot apices of Bougainvillea spectabilis cv. Texas Dawn were excised and cultured on MS .modified medium containing different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators for shoot growth, multiplication and root induction. Shoot development was observed where BAP 0.25 + NAA 0.25 mg/l were used. Medium containing NAA 0.1 + BAP 2.0 + glutamine 250 mg!l induced maximum number of multiple shoots with higher percentage (70%) of rooting where IBA 5.0 + NAA 5.0 mg/l were added to the medium. The system will provide a means for rapid clonal propagation future.
