Abstract: | Two procedures for the in vitro propagation of Encyclia mariae, a threatened Mexican orchid, were developed. In the first procedure, leaves from in vitro germinated seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with the range of 2.21–4.4 μM 6-benzylaminopurine
(BA) in combination with 2.69–10.74 μM naphthalene acetic (NAA), 2.07–8.29 μM indole-3-butyric (IBA), or 2.85–11.42 μM indole-3-acetic
acid (IAA) to determine the best medium for the induction of shooting. Maximum direct shoot formation from leaves was observed
on MS containing 22.21 μM BA and 10.74 μM NAA (25 shoots/explant). The second procedure began with the culture of protocorms
on media containing NAA, IBA, or IAA, which induced callus formation with high regenerative potential in the form of protocorm-like-bodies
(PLBs) that eventually differentiated into shoots. The optimal response was attained when these structures were cultured on
medium with 4.14 μM IBA (30 shoots/PLB). To promote the elongation of shoots derived from PLBs, the material was subcultured
onto MS medium containing 22.21 μM BA and 5.37 μM NAA. Through the exploration of the effects of auxins and matrix on the
rooting of shoots, it was determined that the optimal rooting occurred on media supplemented either with 5.71 μM IAA or 4.14 μM
IBA either on agar-gelled medium or in liquid media with coir as the matrix. Rooting was found to be 20% higher in liquid
media than in agar-gelled medium. |
