摘要
A rapid propagation protocol was establish for the highly endangered Aloe polyphylla (Schonland ex Pillans). Seed was germinated in vitro on Murashige & Skoog 1962 medium [6] with or without sucrose. Plantlets were cultured on medium containing benzyladenine only, or a combination of BA and NAA. After initial problems with browning, the explants rapidly formed axillary and adventitious buds. Maximal shoot formation was obtained on MS medium containing 1.0 mg l(-1) BA. Some shoots rooted spontaneously on MS medium, but the rooting percentage was improved with a 0.5 mg l(-1) IBA supplement. Rooted plantlets were acclimatized to greenhouse conditions. The success of this project indicates that micropropagation can be a useful tool in the conservation of this endangered species of the genus Aloe.
