Abstract
The morphogenetic responses of Venus''s flytrap (D. muscipula) seedlings cultured on Murashige-Skoog medium containing napthaleneacetic acid and benzyladenine include the production of adventitious buds in place of traps at the distal ends of the petioles. Subculture of the adventitious buds resulted in root, shoot or bud proliferation. These adventitious buds are useful in the propagation of Venus''s flytraps. Seedlings responded with callus formation, changes in cotyledon shape, broadening of shoot apices, inhibition of shoot apices, promotion of root primordia and inhibition of root growth.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
