Summary
The present work deals with the in vitro methods for rapid propagation, and morphogenetic potential of the rare and endangered bulb species Leucojum aestivum L., Amaryllidaceae, and Lilium rhodopaeum Delip., Liliaceae. The morphogenetic potential of different plant organs (bulb, stem, leaves and ovaries) was studied. Leaves of Leucojum aestivum L. and basal parts of the bulb in Lilium rhodopaeum Delip. possess the highest regeneration activity. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium + 1 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) + 1 mg/l kinetin and Linsmaier and Skoog (LS) medium + 0.5 mg/l 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) + 0.1 mg/l kinetin were favourable for direct organogenisis from these explants. A stimulating effect of alow gamma-irradiation dose (5 Gy) upon the quantity and growth intensity of the bulbs formed by the explants in in vitro conditions is observed.
