Evaluation of in vitro culture media for native forest species in danger of extinction in Ecuador. The native species Myroxylon balsamum (balsam), Tabebuia crhysantha (guayacán) and Tabebuia billbergii (blackwood), are endemic forest species of the dry forest of the coast of Ecuador and Peru. The objectives of the research were: i) to develop a protocol for establishing, multiplying micropropagated plants in vitro conditions for the establishment of endangered native species in southern Manabi, and ii) defining the means of cultivation and disinfection protocols suitable for in vitro reproduction of threatened native species, using different concentrations of Povidyn®, NaClO + Tween + HgCl2 and exposure times for the establishment. According to the results in the in vitro establishment phase of explants of M. balsamum, T. crhysantha and T. billbergii, it was demonstrated that the application of Povidyn® for 20 minutes + 15% NaClO + 2 drops Tween for 5 minutes + 0.5% HgCl2 for 5 minutes, significantly reduces the contamination of the explants by microorganisms, reaching 90%, 87% and 88% respectively of live explants, free from RESUMEN Las especies nativas Myroxylon balsamum (bálsamo), Tabebuia crhysantha (guayacán) yTabebuia billbergii (madero negro), son especies forestales endémicas del bosque seco de la costa del Ecuador y Perú. Los objetivos de la investigación fueron: i) desarrollar un protocolo para establecer, multiplicar plantas micropropagadas en condiciones in vitro para el establecimiento de cultivos de especies nativas amenazadas en la zona sur de Manabí y ii) definir los medios de cultivos y protocolos de desinfección más adecuados para la reproducción in vitro de las especies nativas amenazadas, empleando para el establecimiento diferentes concentraciones de Povidyn®, NaClO + Tween + HgCl2 y tiempos de exposición. De acuerdo con los resultados en la fase de establecimiento in vitro de explantes de M. balsamum, T. crhysantha y T. billbergii, se demostró que la aplicación de Povidyn® por 20 minutos + 15% NaClO + 2 gotas Tween por 5 minutos + 0,5% HgCl2 por 5 minutos, permitió reducir significativamente la contaminación de los explantes por microorganismos, alcanzando un 90%, 87% y 88% de explantes vivos respectivamente, libres de contaminación por hongos y 1 Autor para correspondencia.
