Peach palm plantlet growth in different culture media in a temporary immersion system

ABSTRACT: Peach palm is a domesticated commercially important for the production of fruits and hearts palm. Somatic embryogenesis, an effective technique mass propagation, was successfully established this species. Furthermore, temporary immersion system improved plant regeneration. However, can be further by understanding peach palm’s growth dynamic modifications culture media. The aims study were to evaluate plantlets cultured in different media correlate results with nutrient uptake during period. embryo-derived young approximately 1 cm length cultivated 12 weeks twin flask containing MS, Y3 or N6 salts, Morel Wetmore vitamins 3% sucrose, monthly medium refreshment. Growth measured mineral analysis carried out after culture. MS salts most appropriate growth. Number roots 52.52% higher root size 40.42% between number 37.74% greater than medium, which post acclimatization survival. K Na are elements N not required at such high concentration as Murashige Skoog formulation. Chu (N6) did generate quality plantlets, possibly due absence some micronutrients, like Mo, Cu Co.
