Title: Vegetative propagation of carnation in vitro through multiple shoot development
Abstract: Vegetative shoot cuttings of 6 cultivars of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) were irradiated with 30 or 60 Gy X-rays. Subsequently, from both control and irradiated cuttings, explants were excised at 2 positions of the stem and cultured in vitro. The effects of X-ray dose, genotype and explant position on multiple shoot development of in vitro-cultured nodal stem explants, and on root formation of sub-cultured shoots, were examined. The in vitro propagation method resulted in the production of 2220 plantlets from 209 explants, 4 months after incubation.
