Abstract
Describes a method of propagating Sorghastrum nutans via tissue culture. Mature caryopses were used as explants. The best treatment was LS basal medium supplemented with 2,4-D. Regeneration efficiency on LS basal medium increased with increasing kinetin. Shoots were moved to a rooting medium containing NAA. Rooted plantlets were transferred to pots in a mist room and then to a normal greenhouse; all plantlets survived. The authors conclude that this regeneration protocol is very efficient and highly reproducible.Suggested Citation
