Umali-Garcia M., . (1985) Tissue culture of some rattan species. [Proceedings Paper]

Abstract

An attempt to propagate rattan by tissue culture was conducted using 11 species of Calamus and 2 species of Daemonorops. Preliminary results showed that all the species tested could produce callus from the cabbage or tissues prepared from the youngest portion of the shoot apex on the different media used. The calli remained active for 3-4 weeks under the growing condition described. Callus tissue of Calamus merrillii C. ornatus var. philippinensis and Calamus sp. was able to produce shoots in media supplied with 2-4 sucrose in the presence of 1.0 mg/L benzyl adenine and 1.0 mg/L 2 4-D. More roots were formed when the shoots were transferred to a medium with 4.0 of sucrose and only traces of auxin and cytokinin.
