The Effect of MS Media Strength and Cytokinin in the Induction of Shoots from Shoot Tip Explants of Australian Finger Lime (Citrus australasica cv. Tasty Green)

The Australian Finger Lime (Citrus australasica) is a type of citrus from the Rutaceae family, endemic to east coast Australia. finger lime, loaded with numerous vitamins and renders unique taste, has also been backed by science contain essential amounts antioxidants that are beneficial for cell protection, immune response, cancer prevention, ageing, arthritis prevention kidney stones. Current propagation attempts still rely on conventional methods less efficient resulted in slow establishment farms lime especially commercialization purposes. This study focuses induction shoots shoot tip explants using 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) Kinetin. Aseptic were inoculated into Murashige Skoog (MS) medium full-strength half-strength followed MS media supplemented different concentrations BAP Results obtained this showed no significant differences terms number axillary produced between cultured full media. However, highest increment length 2.0 mg/L values 1.80 ± 0.27 2.56 0.36 cm, respectively. In conclusion, was found optimal elongation C. australasica cv. Tasty Green.
