Abstract: | Axillary bud development and adventitious bud formation was obtained with decapitated shoot explants of Aloe barbadensis Mill. Maximal bud growth and rooting of shoots was obtained on a modified medium of Murashige and Skoog supplemented with 5 M IBA. More adventitious and axillary buds developed on nutrient media supplemented with IBA than with NAA. Axillary buds but not adventitious buds developed with IAA in the medium. Morphogenesis was inhibited by 2,4-D. Kinetin, benzyladenine and thidiazuron were toxic to the explants and did not stimulate the development of axillary of adventitious buds. The optimal temperature for bud growth and development was 25°C. Axillary bud growth and the formation of adventitious buds was slowed down at 10°C and totally inhibited by 30°C. The optimal sucrose concentration was 3% with the inhibition of bud growth and development by higher sucrose levels. |
