A study of undifferentiated tissue in leaves of various species of Bryophyllum

AbstractA study was done to determine the effects of LAJi and 2, L-D on development and differentiation of callus tissue from leaf notch explants of Bryophyllum pinnatur B. tubiflora, and B. haughtonii. Callus was induced when 2, L-D was present in the medium. Most differentiation occurred with 1 ppm LA was in the medium. `The callus tissue was examined microscopically to determine the extent of differentiation. Root hair-like cells, Xylem, and root-like structures were observed. Differentiation was inhibited by 20 ppm 2, 4-D.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
