<p><strong>Background</strong>: Nowadays, a growing demand for hybrids of <em>Phalaenopsis</em> sp. exists to satisfy this demand it is necessary to develop protocols for massive propagation that ensure high percentages of clonal regeneration, such as somatic embryogenesis. Besides, studying genetic variation within regenerated plants offers a greater understanding of the suitability of the micropropagation protocol in relation with genetic stability of the materials used. <strong>Objective</strong>: The present research work aimed to evaluate three concentrations of two types of plant growth regulators (RCV). 6-benzylaminopurine cytokinin (BA) (1.0, 2.0 y 3.0 mgL<sup>-1</sup>) in combination with three concentrations of 2,4-diclorofenoxiacetic acid (2,4-D) (3.0, 4.0, 5.0 mgL<sup>-1</sup>), for the induction of somatic embryos. In addition, the genetic stability of the regenerated plants was analyzed using molecular markers type RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA). <strong>Methodology</strong>: The induction of somatic embryogenesis was induced from two leaf explants with different stages of develop from 15-20 cm in height <em>Phalaenopsis</em> sp. var. Dudú seedlings, cultivated <em>in vitro</em>; first leaf as mature explant (PH) and third leaf as young explant (TH). <strong>Results</strong>: The highest number of regenerated plants was 29.8 at 135 days after the start of the culture (ddic) with 2.0 and 5.0 mgL<sup>-1</sup> of BA and 2,4-D, respectively, using TH as explant. In the morphogenetic response of the regenerated explants, a correlation was observed between the age of the explant and the RCV concentration. Polymorphic bands were observed with the four primers used, indicating somaclonal variation in regenerated plants. <strong>Implications</strong>: The results obtained provide an alternative for regeneration, as well as offering a methodology to initiate genetic improvement programs in <em>Phalaenopsis</em> sp. var. Dudú. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: <em>In vitro</em> regeneration of <em>Phalaenopsis</em> sp. var. Dudú by somatic embryogenesis was achieved, as well as the analysis of the genetic integrity of the regenerated material. </p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
