Cyclamen caulogenesis, rhizogenesis and microtuberization

Abstract

Jaime A. Teixeira da Silva

The tissue culture of Cyclamen persicum Mill. of the Primulaceae family, and a popular ornamental pot plant, is well explored. This synopsis review provides an overview of the induction of shoots (caulogenesis), roots (rhizogenesis) and microtubers (microtuberization) in vitro as viable routes for the tissue culture of clonal material, primarily from the English literature.
