Reproduction of Ficus pumila L. (Climbing Fig) with Tissue Culture
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Ficus pumila L., which provides a green wall appearance with its
very close texture, is not commonly grown in Turkey despite its significance.
Among the studies published so far, there is no record of successful
micropropagation of Ficus pumila
species. Thus, the objective of the present study was to propagate Ficus pumila with tissue culture, and
to expand the use of the species in Turkey. Various growth regulators and doses
(IAA, BA, BA + Kinetin) were tested in studies where Murashige and Skoog (MS)
compounds are used commonly as nutrient media. Plant leafs and leaf stems were
used as explant. It was possible to obtain plants with different explant and
nutrient media combinations. Cultures were kept in climate chamber at 23 ° C
temperature and 70% humidity and in 16 hours light and 8 hours dark
photoperiodic conditions. In the present study, it was observed that the
combination of BA dose and cytokinin in BA and MS were successful in the
findings. The highest shoot formation was obtained in MS medium supplemented
with 1 mg / l BA doses and combinations.
