Abstract

Young actively growing tissue explants from Alstroemeria inflorescence stem taken at a distance of 1-2 mm below the apex are capable of regenerating buds and roots from which small plantlets can be established. Root and bud regeneration was directly from the stem tissue and not from the callus. White's medium supported growth and regeneration as well as Murashige & Skoog's medium. A higher ratio of auxin to cytokinin resulted in root regeneration, while the reversed ratio promoted bud differentiation. Plantlets were obtained upon bud subculture on a low sucrose medium supplemented with indoleacetic acid but without kinetin.
