Abstract

The present study reports a research with different concentrations and combinations of auxins and cytokinins to activate bud development and to obtain multiplication of Cattleya walkeriana (Orchidaceae) without an intermediate callus stage. Seedlings of C. walkeriana were cultured on B5 medium containing 2% sucrose and solidified with 0.65% agar, with factorial combinations of the auxins 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 3-indolbutyric acid (IBA), and cytokinins 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and N-(2-furanyl-methyl)-1-purine-6 amine (Kinetin) at concentrations of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mg/L. The highest number of buds with elongated leaves occurred by cultivating seedlings on medium containing different concentrations of IBA and BA, while the lowest number was observed in NAA and KIN combination. IBA alone yielded better results at the three tested concentrations, when compared to the total absence of growth regulators. The higher frequency of bud induction using BA and IBA combination indicated that this combinations were more effective for C. walkeriana in vitro multiplication using seedlings as explants
