In order to elucidate the effects of growth regulators on organogenesis in the stem explants of Kalanchoe daigremontiana, we have cultured the explants for 10 weeks on the MS medium with or without ammonium nitrate, supplemented with simultaneous combinations of auxin(IAA), gibberellin(GA_3) and cytokinin(BAP)The cocentrations of these growth regulators were 0.001-10.0 ㎎/l, respectively.
The callus formation and organogenesis in the explants are mainly achieved under the simultaneous actions of the auxin and cytokinin. The optimal combination of growth regulators for callus formation was IAA 10.0 ㎎/l, GA_3 0.001 ㎎/l and BAP 0.1 ㎎/l. The optimal combinations for the adventitious root and bud formation are IAA 10.0 ㎎/l, GA_3 0.01 ㎎/l, BAP 0.01 ㎎/l and IAA 0.1 ㎎/l, GA_3 0.01 ㎎/l, BAP 1.0 ㎎/l, respectively.
On the MS medium without ammonium nitrate, the callus and adventitious bud formation in the explants are better than those on the MS medium with ammonium nitrate, but the adventitious root formation is worse. The correlation between callus formation and organogenesis is negative on the both media.
