A simple, economical, and high efficient protocol to produce "in vitro" miniature rose
Due to its high commercial value, many studies on rose (Rosa hybrida L.) micropropagation have been published. However, there are a limited number of studies on rose in vitro flowering.

Summary: | Due to its high commercial value, many studies on rose (Rosa hybrida L.) micropropagation have been published. However, there are a limited number of studies on rose in vitro flowering. These studies only focused on the roles of plant growth regulators in the formation and morphogenesis of flowers. In this protocol, cytokinin was confirmed to positively function in the induction of m vitro rose flowers. In fact, more than 40% of in vitro shoots were induced to flower when they were grown on a medium supplemented with benzylaminopurine (BA) (2 mg L⁻¹) and IAA (0.1 mg L⁻¹). In addition, this study showed that the growth medium supplemented with only coconut water (15 or 20% v/v) was very efficient to induce flowering oí in vitro miniature rose plants (> 70%) after 60 d of subculture. In addition, the in vitro flowers were normal and almost similar to ex vitro flowers in terms of flower shape and color. Based on these results, a detailed procedure for in vitro miniature rose flower production is provided. |
