Light favored in vitro seed germination
in both species (99 and 62% respectively for A. blanchetiana and A.
distichantha). MS medium + 0.5 μM NAA + 2.2 μM BAP resulted
in the highest multiplication rate for both species, with significant
contrasts between this treatment and the control in both species
(105.62 more shoots in A. blanchetiana; 223.80 in A. distichantha).
BAP promoted the formation of rootless shoots, while kinetin favored
the formation of roots rather than shoots. A. blanchetiana and A.
distichantha showed 90 and 97% of survival respectively in plantlet
acclimatization
