Rapid clonal propagation of rhubarb ( Rheum rhaponticum L.) from meristem-tips in tissue culture

Meristem-tips of rhubarb cv. Timperley Early grown on a medium containing 2.56 mg/l of kinetin were induced to form rapidly-proliferating units within 21 days when transferred to a medium containing 12.8 mg/l kinetin. Subsequent transfer to a kinetin free medium resulted in root development within 9...

Summary:Meristem-tips of rhubarb cv. Timperley Early grown on a medium containing 2.56 mg/l of kinetin were induced to form rapidly-proliferating units within 21 days when transferred to a medium containing 12.8 mg/l kinetin. Subsequent transfer to a kinetin free medium resulted in root development within 9 days. The rooted plantlets were readily established in peat pots within 3 to 4 weeks.
