In vitro propagation and rooting strategies for Hylocereus undatus and Hylocereus polyrhizus

Plant Biotechnology Reports
In vitro micropropagation protocols for Hylocereus undatus and Hylocereus polyrhizus pitaya species were developed in Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Lloyd and McCown (WPM) nutrient media. During micropropagation stage, 0, 3, 4, 5, 6 mgL(-1) Benzyl adenine (BA), 0.2 mgL(-1) Gibberellic acid (GA(3)), and 0.1 mgL(-1) Indole butyric acid (IBA) were added to ...
