Optimization of Morphogenesis and In Vitro Production of Five Hyacinthus orientalis Cultivars

To maximize the economic benefits of Hyacinthus orientalis L., micropropagation and morphogenesis induction five cultivars were investigated under four different concentrations indole acetic acid (IAA) with two cytokinins, benzyl adenine (BA), or kinetin (Kin). Days for initiation shoot formation in red fewer than blue white cultivars. Blue showed an increase fresh weight chlorophyll content either BA Kin, but they height treatments only. IAA at 1.5 mg/L caused a time reduction days enhanced weight. Kin had lesser impact on all parameters concentrations. The number shoots differed significantly among Murashige Skoog (MS) medium supplemented 3.0 indole-3-butyric (IBA) produced highest percentage root (93.3%), roots/plantlet (5.26), length (1.10 cm). Jan Bos cultivar IBA mean rooting (100%) roots per plantlet (6.66), while Pink Pearl (1.39
