C. Tanuwidjaja et al., MICROPROPAGATION OF (A)OVER-TILDEKIA (WIKSTROEMIA-UVA-URSI GRAY,A), Plant cell, tissue and organ culture, 53(2), 1998, pp. 85-90
A protocol for the micropropagation of Wikstroemia uva-ursi A. Gray ('
Akia) was developed by the establishment of axenic shoot cultures from
field-grown plants, induction of shoot proliferation, and rooting in
vitro. The best shoot proliferation was obtained from the distal half
of stem explants in 8.8 mu M 6-benzyladenine. High frequencies of root
ing were obtained. The best rooting occurred for shoots grown in half-
strength MS plus 2.46 mu M indole-3-butyric acid for two weeks.
