Potencial morfogenético de los entrenudos de Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa y de P. mollissima en cultivo in vitro

Abstract

Morphogenetic potential of stem internodes from two passion flower plants, P. edulis var. flavicarpe and P. mollissima was proved when Nitschs medium added with 2 mg/l of kinetin was used. Callus formation, starch accumulation, dedifferentiation and vessel formation are shown. Kinetin was the stimulating agent. This morphogenetic potential would be useful for vegetative multiplication in order to maintain the genetic characters of the mother plants.
