Abstract
Micropropagated plants of two annual haloxerophytic Asiatic Salsola species (S. pestifer and S. lanata) were obtained from zygotic embryos cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) agar medium supplemented with 0.5 µM benzylamino-purine (BAP) and 0.3 µM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or with 0.5 µM 6 γ, γ-dimethylallylaminopurine and 0.3 μM IAA. The callus induction from shoot and leaf explants derived from plants propagated in vitro were obtained on MS agar medium with various concentration of auxins and cytokinins. The best medium for growth and proliferation of calluses of both studied species was MS medium containing 9.0 µM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. It was also determined that beginning of plant regeneration from callus of S. lanata was induced by 8.8 µM BAP.
