Mass Propagation of Wild Primrose (Primula vulgaris L.) by Tissue Culture

Primrose (Primula spp.), in the Primulaceae family, blooms early spring and is produced as a seasonal flower or potted ornamental. Even though primroses can be propagated by separating offspring from mother plant, reproduction coefficient low irregular late germination seen their seeds that prevent mass production. Therefore, with this study, it was aimed to production of wild primroses, which spread naturally, culturing vitro. Plants collected nature were cultured greenhouse conditions used explant source. Surface sterilized rhizome explants MS medium containing growth regulators Benzyl adenine (BA) (0.5, 1.0 3.0 mg L-1) Indole butyric acid (IAA) (0.5 L-1). As result highest multiplication 7.85 L-1 BA 0.5 IAA. Rooting success 75% achieved shoots 1 IBA. A survival rate 62.5% obtained plants peat:perlite medium.
