The in vitro propagation of amaryllis (Hippeastrum spp. Hybrids)
@article{Seabrook2007TheIV, title={The in vitro propagation of amaryllis (Hippeastrum spp. Hybrids)}, author={Janet E. A. Seabrook and Bruce G. Cumming}, journal={In Vitro}, year={2007}, volume={13}, pages={831-836} }
SummaryA new, rapid technique for the propagation of amaryllis (Hippeastrum spp. hybrids) by means of tissue culture is reported. Leaf bases, scapes, peduncles, inner bulb scales and ovaries were cultured successfully in vitro and plantlets were induced readily at various concentrations of growth regulators. Some plantlets also were produced in the absence of growth regulators. The most productive tissues for propagation were inverted scapes and peduncles, cultured in a modified Murashige and…

Results indicate that shoot formation is increased when (a) light intensity is increased, (b) no segment of midvein is included in the explant, (c) explants are placed with the adaxial epidermis in contact with the medium, and (d) the size of explants is increased.
