Abstract
Stryphnodendron polyphythum Mart., popularly known as Barbatimão, is a native Brazilian tree widely used in folk medicine as a wound healing agent. Cotyledonary node segments were placed on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different types and concentrations of cytokinins. The medium that gave best shoot proliferation contained 13.3 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA). However, MS supplemented with 0.04 μM BA and 0.005 μM indole-3-acetic-acid enhanced shoot length. Root formation was best on shoots inserted into medium with half-strength macronutrients supplemented with 5.37 μM naphthaleneacetic acid and 80 mg 1−1 phloroglucinol.
