In Vitro Propagation of Apios americana

Abstract

Shoot proliferation from axillary buds of Apios americana Medikus (apios, groundnut) was obtained on a modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.22 μ m BAP, 0.5 μ m IBA, and 3.0 μ m GA 3 . Existed shoots rooted on MS basal medium. About 60% of the rooted plants were successfully established in soil. Chemical names used: 1 H- indole-3-butanoic acid (IBA). gibberellic acid (GA 3 ), N 6 -benzylaminopurine (BAP).
