Özet

This study describes germination of Origanum acutidens (Hand.-Mazz.) letswaart seeds followed by micropropagation from stem nodes of 58 days old seedlings that were cultured on MS basal medium containing 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, and 2.0 mg/I BAP with or without 0.5 mg/I NAA cultured at 24 degrees C 1 degrees C under cool white fluorescent lights with 16 hrs light (42 Mol photons/m(2)/s) photoperiod. The results showed maximum number of 10.28 shoots per explant on MS medium containing 0.8 mg/I BAP. Comparing regeneration on MS medium containing various concentrations of BAP with and without 0.5 mg/1 NAA; it was noted that shoot regeneration on MS medium containing BAP + NAA was partially inhibitory and induced comparatively reduced number of shoots per explant. Well developed shoots of 0. acutidens on each concentration of BAP with or without NAA were rooted on MS medium supplemented with 0.75 mg/I NAA. The rooted plantlets-were acclimatised in pots, followed by transfer to fields, where they bloomed and set seeds. The results suggest efficient practical production of the plant species for commercial purposes.
