In vitro flowering of Kniphofia leucocephala: influence of cytokinins

Abstract: The role of cytokinins in the promotion of flowering in the endangered species Kniphofia leucocephala Baijnath. was investigated using shoots maintained in culture for 3 years. The highest percentage flowering (65%) was obtained on media containing 20 lM benzyladenine (BA). The inclusion of isopentenyladenine and zeatin in the media also resulted in flowering, but these treatments were less effective than BA in inducing flowering. The effect of cytokinins on flowering was dose-dependent, with high concentratio… Show more

“…Plant species such as ginseng (Lin et al 2005), Kniphofia leucocephala (Taylor et al 2005), Orychophragmus violaceus (Luo et al 2000), Gentiana species (Zhang and Leung 2000), Brassica napus (Koh and Loh 2000) and Chamomile recutita (Kintzios and Michaelakis 1999) were reported to be able to flower in vitro. Different plant species require different induction medium to induce in vitro flowers.…”

“…The most important factors include: medium pH (Nadgauda et al 1997), the content of sucrose (Lin et al 2003, Aneesh et al 2007 or agar in the medium (Kachonpadungkitti et al 2001), light intensity and even the size of explants (Taylor et al 2005). However, the most important of these is the content of plant growth regulators added to media in vitro (Levy andDean 1998, Taylor andvan Staden 2006). However, the application of phytohormones is not easy, as their effects depend on their concentration, in vitro conditions, and plant species.…”

“…Cytokinins are believed to induce molecular changes associated with the floral transition 16 . BA has been used for most experiments on flowering in vitro of roses 2,3,17 and several other plant species [18][19][20] . The effect of sucrose on individual shoot formation was recorded after 9 weeks of culture.…”
