Tissue culture plantlets of Lagerstroemia indica were used to study the effects of different auxins on in-vitro rooting, and the effects of various media in transplanting of rooted plantlets and ex-vitro rooting. For in-vitro rooting of test-tube plantiets of Lagerstroemia indica, 0.5 mg/L IBA is a suitable growth regulator; in the case of transplanting of rooted plantlets, the medium ratio of peat soil to perlite at 7:3 is better; and as to ex-vitro rooting of Lagerstroemia indica plantlets, the medium ratio of peat soil to perlite at 3:7 is more suitable.
Plantlets of Ilex centrochinensis were used in its tissue culture to study the effect of auxin and gibberellin in vitro rooting, and the effect of various matrix in transplanting rooted plantlets and in rooting outside the tube. The highest fre- quency of rooting was obtained when growth regulator combination was IBA 0.2 mg/L + GA3 0.4 mg/L in vitro rooting, and when the ratio of sand and humus soil was 5 to 5 in rooting outside the tube. When the ratio of perlite and peat soil was 3 to 7, the highest survival of rooted plantlets in transplanting was obtained. This study may provide the basis for improving the factory system of tissue culture of llex centrochinensis.
