Shoot proliferation and in vitro organogenesis from shoot apex and cotyledonary explants of royal poinciana (Delonix regia), an ornamental leguminous tree

Cytokinin supplementation was essential for the induction of shoot proliferation and in vitro organogenesis from shoot apices and cotyledons of D. regia, respectively. Micropropagation techniques have been established for woody species to facilitate their mass clonal propagation and to better understand their processes of regeneration. The goal of this work was to evaluate the potential of shoot apex and cotyledonary explants of Delonix regia,...
