Micropropagation of Salvia guaranitica Benth. through axillary shoot proliferation
Nodal segments from greenhouse grown adult plants of Salvia guaranitica were used to evaluate the effect of culture media and growth regulators on the micropropagation and growth. The highest multiplication rate was obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.22 µM of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The best condition for rooting was MS medium with 2.85 µM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Rooted plants were successfully acclimatized and exhibited a normal development until maturity. Using the described protocol, approximately 35 plants per explant were obtained after three months.
