Abstract:
Donor plants of 10 cultivars of sweet pepper were produced in vitro from seeds. Having been excised from the donor plant, nodal segments were placed on a modified half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. The axillary shoots induced from the explants were transferred to the rooting medium. Benzyladenine (BA) in the medium for culturing of donor plant was not effective on the induction of axillary buds from the nodal segments. Rooting of the axillary shoot was promoted by 0.2 mg/liter indoleacetic acid (IAA) in the medium. Cultivar difference in potential for plant regeneration was observed, which was mainly attributable to the difference in rooting ability among these cultivars. The plants propagated by nodal segment culture developed normally in the greenhouse as well as those grown from conventional seedlings.
