Micropropagation of Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus Moscheutos L.)

Abstract

Hardy hibiscus (Hibiscus x moscheutos L.) is gaining popularity as a landscape plant and the accelerated increase in the volume of planting material is of particular relevance. The work investigated the effect of the concentration of 6-BAP (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 mg / L) on the shoot formation of hibiscus of the following varieties: cv. Cranberry Crush, Fantasia, Fireball, Jazzberry Jam. It was revealed that the concentration of 6-BAP 0.5 mg / L is optimal for the proliferation of microshoots of Hibiscus x moscheutos L. With the increase in the concentration of 6-BAP, the number of formed microshoots decreases.
