In vitro Propagation of Ginkgo biloba by Using Various Bud Cultures

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

The purpose of this research is micropropagation of Ginkgo biloba L. Apical and nodal meristems removed from plantlets or apical buds from a tree were used as explants. Meristems produced an extensive callus and single or rare multiple shoots on Murashige and Skoog medium with different growth regulators and endosperm extract (En) obtained from mature seeds of the same species. For successful root production it was necessary to transfer the shoots to a rooting medium with En.
