Abstract
Caladium bicolor callus was cultured on the basic MS media containing calonyctin supplemented with 0.2mg/L NAA and 0.2mg/L 2,4-D. The results showed that 0.2~2.0mg/L calonyctin promoted the growth and differentiation of Caladium bicolor callus. After culturing for 2 months, the callus differentiated into plantlets on the medium 0.2~2.0mg/L calonyctin while both control and the callus treated with high concentration of calonyctin (10.0mg/L) did not regenerated plantlets. The results suggested that calonyctin with proper growth regulators has regulatory effects on the growth and differentiation of plant callus.
