Effect of Different Plant Growth Regulators on Micropropagation of Some Pitaya Varieties

Pitaya belongs to the family Cactaceae and the genus Hylocereus. It is essential to develop tissue culture protocols according to the appropriate variety to spread pitaya commercial production and ensure healthy sapling production. This study aimed to determine the best plant...

description Pitaya belongs to the family Cactaceae and the genus Hylocereus. It is essential to develop tissue culture protocols according to the appropriate variety to spread pitaya commercial production and ensure healthy sapling production. This study aimed to determine the best plant growth regulators (PGRs) in the micropropagation process,and their effects on different pitaya cultivars were evaluated. Shoots of different pitaya cultivars were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with Indole-3-butyric (IBA), 6-benzylamino purine (BAP), and gibberellic acid (GA3). The highest micropropagation coefficient was determined in Physical Graffiti variety cultured in MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L BAP. The general evalua-tion based on the varietydetermined that the best micropropagation was in the Royal Red variety. In in vitrorooting studies, the best rooting variety was Royal Red (54.47%), followed by Siam Red (50.33%), Physical Graffiti (47.75%), and Seoul Kitchen (44.82%). It was determined that the Royal Red variety is grown in R2 (MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l IBA) medium gave the best results in all criteria of shoot length (4.28 cm), root length (6.45 cm), and root formation on the face (74.48%). It was envisioned that these differences between the micropropagation, growth, and rooting of the cultivars used in the studies resulted from the cultivar char-acteristics.
