THE CONSERVATION OF SPECIES BELLEVALIA SARMATICA (GEORGI) WORONOV BY THE VITROCULTURE METHOD

Abstract

In vitro bulbification is a method by which bulb formation is stimulated and speeded up in the species that are propagated by bulbs and which need, in the conditions of a classicel culture, a longer period for the formation of flower-bearing bulbs. In this article, the results of research is presented, regarding the conservation, multiplication and maintenance of this vulnerable species included in the Red Book of the Republic of Moldova. This study was carried out in order to re-introduce this species into its native habitats. Optimal media were elaborated for the initiation, multiplication, rhyzogenesis and the maintenance of this species in in vitro conditions.
