Description
Shoot tips of cordyline terminals were cultured in vitro on different media (MS. NN and A) to select the best culture medium. Explants were subjected to different cytokines, microwaves periods, auxins and agriculture media. The results showed that MS was the best culture medium. The maximum number of shoots as well as per plant and number of leaves per plant were produced on MS medium supplemented with 4 mg/l 2ip. Exposing the plantlets to microwave irradiation for one minute caused the best proliferation rate, comparing control plantlets. The addition of auxin IBA at concentrate 2 mg/I to culture medium gave a significant increasing in number of roots and root length. Acclimatization culture medium containing peatmoss, sand and loam at equal volume parts gave a significant increasing in plant growth and greening than other acclimatization treatments
