Jp. Palmer et Yt. Jasrai, PRECOCIOUS GROWTH AND EFFECT OF ABA - ENCAPSULATED BUDS OF KALANCHOE-TUBIFLORA, Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 5(2), 1996, pp. 103-104
Under artificial seed technology development programme the epiphyllous
buds of Kalanchoe tubiflora were used for encapsulation using various
concentrations of sodium-alginate. Buds were treated with different c
oncentrations of ABA either prior to encapsulation or even in the algi
nate matrix to inhibit the precocious growth. The germination behaviou
r of the encapsulated buds was also studied.
