Protocol for in vitro propagation of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln. from nodal segments
Journal Title: Biotecnología Vegetal - Year 2020, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln. is a plant with great ornamental value due to its growth habit and flowering. It can be used as a pot plant and garden, both outdoors and indoors. It is considered the best-selling species after orchids in Europe and America, reaching high numbers of commercialized plants and monetary incomes. Due to their importance, methods for obtaining large numbers of individuals, in order to satisfy the existing demands on the market are necessary. This could be possible through the use of plant biotechnology. Although there are studies focused on the propagation of this species at the laboratory level, a methodology for its micropropagation has not been described yet. In the present work, a protocol for in vitro propagation of K. blossfeldiana from nodal segments was developed.
